fotoxx (15.08-1~getdeb1) trusty; urgency=medium

  * New upstream version
    + The brightness distribution for an image can be reshaped using slider
      controls and watching the image or graph. The distribution can be
      clipped at either end, or stretched or flattened in different zones.
    + Editing and searching image tags have an additional tool to better deal
      with a huge list of defined tags. The tag pick-list can be all tags, or
      only those for a tag category chosen from a category pick-list.
    + Select Area: an area cutout can be saved as a PNG or TIF file with a
      transparency map (alpha channel). Such files can be opened and pasted
      into other images, with transparency working as it should.
    + Image edits: image transparency works as it should. Partly or fully
      transparent areas can be painted-on or unpainted using the mouse.
    + Mashup: transparency data in overlay images is utilized and editable.
    + New batch tool: add/change/delete any metadata for selected image
    files.
    + Add Text: quickly add the same text at same position to multiple
    images.
    + Gallery thumbnail memory cache is self-limiting to 1 GB main memory.
    + Several small improvements in the user interface and diagnostic
    messages.
    + Bugfix: gallery sort by file modification date used incorrect
    date/time.
    + Bugfix: possible crash in leverage edits if edit function is cancelled.
    + Bugfix: Select Area: draw/replace area edge did not work properly for
      areas previously selected by mouse painting or areas previously
      finished.
