Shotwell 0.12

Ubuntu's default photo manager, Shotwell, has just been updated to version 0.12, after several months of "hard work", consolidating Shotwell into a solid project that in its 0.12 release "saw us add our one-hundred-thousandth line of code".

Along with numerous bug fixes and "it’s now more stable than ever before", the 0.12 release introduces a new tool, Straighten, useful for adjusting and modifying picture's angles.

How do we install Shotwell 0.12?
Add the following official PPA (Oneiric)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yorba/ppa

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install shotwell

Shotwell 0.12 has already landed in Precise Pangolin.
