Greenshot 1.2.9 January Bug Bash

Good news everyone!

Today we present you the result of our January Greenshot Bug Bash, Greenshot 1.2.9.129! During this bug bash we fixed 24 bugs, to make this possible we worked around 18 “after work evenings” and three weekends (in 28 days). We would like to thank all people for taking time to report bugs, without we wouldn’t be able to know about them. Especially the people who reported bugs and were available for questions & testing have our utmost gratitude, without them we would not haven been able to fix this amount of bugs in such a short time.

You can find the complete list of all changes below.

Some special notes for people coming from Greenshot 1.2.8 (or older):

  • For Jira plug-in users:
    • As Atlassian dropped the SOAP API, the Jira plug-in now uses the REST API. This was introduced with Jira 5.x, but the oldest version we were able to test against is 6.1.3 so we can’t garantee it works for anything older
    • To make it possible to keep using the Jira plug-in we used code which was due in Greenshot 2.0, this is why the Jira plug-in now needs .NET 4.5
  • We changed the behavior of the effect buttons: left mouse click directly applies and the right mouse click brings up the settings first.
  • .greenshot files saved with 1.2.8 (or earlier) cannot be read with 1.2.9, currently there is no workaround for this except to keep with 1.2.8

A special note for people coming from Greenshot 1.2.9.104 or 1.2.9.112:

  • With 1.2.9.104 we changed the windows capture to remove the border, which not everybody likes. This is rolled back with this version (1.2.9.129), and we need to see how to make this functionality available via a setting.

With this version we added another translation, and reached a total of 37 languages with our latest addition: Taqbaylit

P.S. In case you missed it, we now also have an OSX version of Greenshot.
