Announcing the release of Picasa 2 7 for Linux

Posted by Dan Kegel and Lei Zhang, Software Engineers

Its not quite Godot, or even Duke Nukem Forever, but the long wait for Picasa 2.7 for Linux is finally over.

If youre still using Picasa 2.2 for your Linux machine, youll want to update to get all the 2.7 goodness, including web album upload and download, folder hierarchy views, better raw support, localization in many languages, and more. Check out the download page for a full list of improvements and known issues. If you have questions after installing, please visit the FAQ or support forum.

For those interested in the open source aspect of Picasa 2.7: we did contribute a few dozen Wine patches to support Picasa 2.7, mainly to improve Wines support for non-English languages, but also to fix a number of bugs.

Thanks to all the Linux users who helped test the beta version!
