2. The latest digiKam release brings major improvements as well as bug fixes. Some of the new improvements include:
- Native JPEG2000 support
- Tag view supports drag and drop
- Batch tool to sync all metadata
3. New in Kubuntu, and one of the first times ever, Topic Based Help for system documentation.
4. New layout and look for OEM installer. Under the covers it has also been ported to Qt 4, ready for the move to KDE 4.
