Our present for you: Greenshot 1.2.9 brings a lot of improvements and fixes
Admittedly, we’re a bit early with our gift. But as a piece of software cannot be wrapped and aligned beautifully with fancy boxes under the tree, we rather hand it over to you right now, so that you can start having fun with the new version before spending time with your beloved friends and family.
So, what’s new in this version? More than 500 hours of work went into it - we have improved window screenshots in Windows 10 (which suffered a little cropping in prior versions), also there’s an optimization to reduce the problems with uploading to Imgur, which some of you have encountered (actually caused by a per-user rate limiting applied by Imgur).
If you used to use Greenshot for uploading screenshots to Jira: good news, Greenshot’s Jira plugin is now compatible with Jira 7, and a lot faster. It also got some convenient improvements, e.g. it remembers the last viewed issues.
Especially business users might be happy to hear that Greenshot’s installer is digitally signed as of now, so that you can recognize that you’re actually installing the original version provided by us, and not some potentially malware-infested version from someone else.
(By the way, if you want to make sure you are using the original version, you should never download Greenshot from anywhere else than from our website. Just keep in mind: always get Greenshot from getgreenshot.org.)
You see, this release has things to offer for anyone - you can see the full changelog below. So just go ahead, download and “unwrap” our gift and have a great time.
Yours with best wishes,
the Greenshot team
