This release provides new features like browsing pictures by location (Country/State/City/Sublocation from IPTC data). The crop, EXIF date, search-duplicate, and the import dialog have been improved. The IPTC caption is now editable directly in the main window. Support for RAW, XMP, and WAV files is included. Several lossless JPEG operations, like adding a border without picture recompression, have been added. Some other minor features have been added and bugs have been fixed.

This release is up to ten times faster when reading in a directory and displaying thumbnails. It provides browsing pictures by timeline and by keyword/tag cloud. It will detect new IPTC keywords in pictures, and asks to add them to the keyword catalog. A color chooser widget and a color picker have been added. Searching for duplicate pictures and restoring pictures from the trash has been improved. Some other minor features have been added and bugs have been fixed.

This release provides joined hierarchical keywords (e.g. Family.Einstein.Albert), a channel mixer, a more modern look plus improved layout, and a light table to sort out and rearrange picture collections, albums, or slideshows. It is possible to save these slideshows as XnView compatible *.sld files. Exporting pictures to Web pages has been improved, and a lot of other features have been added.

This release fixes the memory leak problem when cataloging pictures, implements new features like adding IPTC information or JPEG comments while importing pictures, autocompletion (e.g. in the IPTC editor), an improved crop and font selection dialog, and resizable columns in the search window.

This release featured a directory checklist that keeps track of in which directory the pictures are sorted, commented, and rated, support for hierarchical IPTC keywords and categories, enhanced search functionality, support for copy and paste of IPTC information, a new picture frame type with a smooth border, improved Mac OS X support, and the ability to convert JPEG to GIF, PNG, and TIFF. A Windows executable is now available, removing the need to install Perl or any modules. There were also bugfixes and other minor improvements.
