Third (and hopefully last) release candidate for Greenshot 1.2

Okay - finishing line in sight :) we have uploaded the third release candidate for Greenshot 1.2. We have been working on ironing out a few more bugs of the latest version, as well as a few improvements and some user interface fine tuning. Again, thanks to anyone who supported us with their valuable feedback. You are doing a great job, we really appreciate that.

Most notable improvements are: torn edge and drop shadow settings are now stored and remembered next time, we have also improved the usability of the torn edge settings dialog. In the editor, the font family selection now displays its entries using the respective font so that it is easier to find the font you are looking for.
We also got rid of several bugs, mostly related to the editor, e.g. the new speech bubble feature still had some flaws.

See below for the complete changelog of the third release candidate, if you haven't seen the previous ones yet you might want to have a look at the changelog of RC1 and RC2, too. In any case, you should check out the new release candidate - as always, it can be downloaded from our version history (1.2.3.29-RC3).

Yeah, you know that already, but just to be sure: "release candidate" means that this version has not gone through extensive testing yet. It might be buggy, so if you do not like surprises, we suggest to stick with version 1.1 until we have ironed out all issues and publish the stable release of version 1.2. In case you encounter any problems with the release candidate, please file a bug report - thanks a lot.
