Release notes 

Rapid Photo Downloader is much faster and sports a new user interface. It is
about 50 times faster in tasks like scanning photos and videos before the
download. It also performs the actual downloads quicker. It will use
multiple CPU cores if they are available.

It is released as an alpha version because some features from the 0.3.x series are not yet implemented.

Rapid Photo Downloader is much faster and sports a new user interface. It is
about 50 times faster in tasks like scanning photos and videos before the
download. It also performs the actual downloads quicker. It will use
multiple CPU cores if they are available.

Rapid Photo Downloader now requires version 0.3.0 or newer of pyexiv2. It also
requries Python Imaging (PIL) to run. It will only run on recent Linux
distributions such as Ubuntu 10.04 or newer. It has been tested on Ubuntu 10.04,
10.10 and 11.04, as well as Fedora 14. (There is currently an unusual bug
adjusting some preferences when running Ubuntu 11.04. See bug #739021).

This is an alpha release because it is missing features that are present in
version 0.3.5. Missing features include:

* System Notifications of download completion
* Job Codes
* Backups as you download
* Automation features, e.g. automatically start download at startup
* Error log window (currently you must check the command line for error output)
* Time remaining status messages
* Synchronize RAW + JPEG Sequence Numbers
* Add unique identifier to a filename if a file with the same name already
  exists
* Sample file names and subfolders are not displayed in the preferences window

These missing features will be added in subsequent alpha and beta releases.

Kaa-metadata is no longer required to download videos. However, if you
want to use Frames Per Second or Codec metadata information in subfolder or
video file names, you must ensure it is installed. This is no longer checked at
program startup.

Thanks go to Robert Park for refreshing the tranlsations code.
