I also could not edit this bug through any browser, so I edit it through
the launchpad api.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: phatch
  
- [IN PROGRESS.. NOT READY YET]

- Exif Renamer with a nice graphical user interface. Phatch handles all

  Upstream does not provide a changelog, but as I am upstream I can list
  the most important changes here:
  
  Phatch 0.2 fixes many bugs and is therefore alone worth an update: #380776, #381169, #382266, #382977, #383889, #384315, #384322, #384420, #384495, #386638, #387116, #387413, #394946, #413271, #418519, #234788, #297241, #311646, #379280, #380816, #381145, #381379, #381660, #382763, #382766, #382776, #384421, #384974, #393255, #393993, #394022, #394041, #415152, #425910, #304132, #344548, #379720, #380415, #381091, #381149, #383140, #384273, #384522, #384548, #385058, #385059, #385356, #386509, #388155, #393257, #398704, #419459, #419563, #198365, #270478, #352009, #378889, #378890, #383664, #385166, #385246, #385740, #386761, #390070, #391483, #391484, #391486, #391488, #392907, #393183, #386411, #386494, #386643, #386707, #386741, #386772, #388094, #388371, #388848, #391006, #391539, #391542 and #392999.
  Some of these bugs are critical like locking the application (#311646) or removing metadata from photos (#429913). They are all listed here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/phatch/+bugs
  
  Besides that Phatch 0.2 is a new release with essential features:
  - library of carefully crafted image recipees (polaroid, web2.0 badges, ...)
  - support for many more image formats such as svg, pdf, compressed tiff, ...
  - interaction with other high quality graphics programs (such as Blender, Inkscape, ...)
  - support for RAW formats
  - lossless operations on jpeg images (rotate, crop, ...)
  - read/write access for image exif & iptc metadata including embedded thumbnails
  - allow of expressions for parameters for string formatting, random numbers, ...
  - support for integrating any external command line application in phatch
  - image inspector can handle multiple images and image folders
  - automatic geotagging of photos
  - image browser of processed photos
  - time shift of photos (e.g. camera in different time zone)
  - follow freedesktop XDG specifications for folders
  - sphinx documentation for developers
  - translated in much more languages
  - and many more ...

  New in the development of phatch was a test suite for the pipeline which
  makes over 800 tests with all possible image manipulations. The test
  suite checks if the actions are not failing and compares visually the
  result with the previous results. Also the more important core libraries
  got extensive doctests. This ensures a much more stable release than the
  previous one. Also the phatch development team grew from one person to
  3-6 people.
  
  As phatch is splitted in subpackages, it will have to go through NEW in
  Debian (new binary packages), so it should probably uploaded to Ubuntu
  once it is in Debian. The Phatch release source tarball is available at
  http://sd-2469.dedibox.fr/photobatch/download/package/phatch-0.2.1.tar.gz
  
  I've included a screenshot below with some of the new features. The
  image inspector has a folder open of 200 images of which the metadata
  can be edited in realtime.
