Release candidate 2 for 1.2.9

Today we present you the second release candidate for Greenshot 1.2.9 which should fix a lot of issues with 1.2.8 and add some new features.

One of the most significant changes is that from this version onwards we sign Greenshot with a code signing certificate. This should helps personal users and companies to feel more secure knowing the installed software is really from us. We will write a separate blog on what we things we do to keep Greenshot secure without adware, malware and viruser.

Other significant changes:

  • Imgur upload gives 403 errors
  • Jira API doesn't work anymore

As always you can download it from our downloads page, in this case via the version history. By the way: please be sure to always download Greenshot from our official website, which is http://getgreenshot.org/. A lot of platforms offer downloads of free and open source software as well, but there have been several cases of installer files being corrupted or bundled with malware. So: always get greenshot from getgreenshot.org :)

Here is the complete changelog for the 1.2.9 release candidate 1:
