ANN: xfce4-screenshooter version 1.4.90 released

[jerome.guelfucci at gmail.com]

Hello and happy new year !

I'm pleased to announce the first beta release towards 1.5.0. This
release contains a lot of changes: David Collins implemented two main
features, copy a screenshot to the clipboard and the possibility to
capture a region of the screen with the mouse and to screenshot it. I
have redesigned the whole interface, removing all frames that took a lot
of place, adding tooltips...

Some bugs and crashes have also been fixed. In particular , the plugin
now grabs menus when taking a screenshot of a window.

The last main change is that a documentation has been added, accessible
from the application and the panel plugin. It is at the moment available
in French and in English. If you want to trasnlate it into your
language, just send me the translated html file and a localised
screenshot. Thank you !

Some trasnlations still need to be updated, but I'll not release 1.5.0
until they get in.

Please note that the application has been renamed to Xfce4
Screenshooter, that the website moved to
http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/applications/xfce4-screenshooter and
that bugs should still be reported on the Xfce Bugzilla, in the Xfce
Goodies product, in the xfce4-screenshooter component.

I would like to thank David Collins who has done a really nice work,
Yves-Alexis Perez for testing the build on amd64 and the Translation Team.

Full changelog:

Bugfixes: 
  - correctly grab active windows. In particular, menus are grabbed now
(bug #4611).
  - correctly save the preferences, even if ~/.config/xfce4 does not
exist. Thanks to Nick Schermer for the explanations.
  - when saving the screenshot fails, show an error dialog explaning why
it failed.
  - fix some remaining crashes when taking a screenshot of the active
window.
  - only read the preferences file once when opening the application.
  - don't automatically set filenames in the file chooser, as user set
ones are overriden (bug #4748).
  
Enhancements:
  - Use -V for the version CLI option.
  - Add possibility to copy the screenshot to the clipboard, thanks to
David Collins.
  - Add possibility to define region to be captured using the mouse,
thanks to David Collins.
  - Add CLI options for the region selection and to open the screenshot
with an application.
  - The dialog for the plugin preferences and the application has been
totally rewritten to improve the user interface: it should look cleaner
and tooltips have been added. Work started by David Collins.
  - When using delay, detect the area to screenshot after the delay, and
not before, as it caused weird results in some cases.
  - Add a documentation accessible from the application and the panel
plugin.
