BUGFIX
The version check for exiftool failed for locales using a comma decimal point (e.g. 8,60 instead of 8.60).

Thumbnail files are now .jpeg instead of .png. Initialization after a new install is about 40%
faster, and thumbnails are 1/3 as large. Tools > Synchronize Files must be done to implement.
There are now three thumbnail options: no thumbnails, thumbnails in the image
directories (as before), or use a designated thumbnail directory.
The Spanish and Galician translations were updated (as of version 12.05).
Package exiftool version 8.60 or later is now required (Ubuntu 11.10 or later).
New: List geotag groups (city, country, date, image count), click on a group to show a
thumbnail gallery of corresponding images, click thumbnails to view or edit.
User-added and revised geotag locations are now separated from the downloaded set,
to make them easier to keep when changing computers or Linux releases.
Geotag search for "null" can be used to find images with go geotags
(also within other search criteria such as date or tags).
New: "Voodoo" retouch function improves most images with one click.
Flatten Distribution: prevent "banding" in monotone bright areas.
Rotate function user interface was improved and made more responsive.
Keyboard shortcuts can be revised and new ones added by the user.
Stop popup messages from getting hidden behind other windows.
Block "save to file" if an edit dialog is active (because of unpredictable result).
Edit history log was moved from EXIF:EditStatus to EXIF:ImageHistory (de facto standard).
Metadata reports now use EXIF tag names instead of tag descriptions.
These are what is needed to directly edit metadata.
Slide Show: added a continuous loop option (last goes back to first).
Trim: a new option was added to start automatically for each new file opened.
This helps work through a batch of new photos more quickly.
Trim: a convenience button was added to do Rotate and then return to trim.
The [prev] and [next] buttons pre-load the next file ahead of need.
This can speed-up sequential viewing of images on a slow computer.
F11 now toggles the main window to full-screen (no menu/toolbar) and back.
Bugfix: geotag retrieval failed with photos from some cameras.
Bugfix: Keyboard shortcut T (for Trim) caused a crash.
