Updated: Getting closer... third release candidate for Greenshot 1.0 published today
Update: RC3 has introduced two annoying bugs with several plugins, RC4 fixes those and is available now.
Read the RC4 release post for details.
There is a German saying "Gut Ding will Weile haben", meaning roughly "good things need time".
For Greenshot 1.0 RC3 we took a bit more time than planned, we want to make Greenshot 1.0 as good as possible and this time was needed.
As we made a lot of changes the risk for new bugs is higher, but if found these will be fixed quickly with RC4 / RC5.
The final release should be shortly after RC4 RC5.

The exact details of the changes in Greenshot 1.0 RC3 are listed below, but here are the biggest:
* Performance improvements, in several areas but mainly noticeable directly after captures.
* The upload plugins now use our own code, this made it possible to get a consistent experience when authorizing with different platforms
* By removing a lot of 3rd party libs Greenshot is now smaller, should also use a bit less memory and most upload plugins no longer need .NET 3.5
* Finally fixed a bug in our shadow/torn edges effect which forced us to use a white background, now we can use transparency.
* A lot of small bug and translation fixes
Happy Greenshotting!
