Download Greenshot 1.2.8.12

Recently an update of Greenshot was released. Screenshots can be taken with this open source program for Windows. After taking a screenshot, you get the option to edit the image, for example to add text or arrows. The image can be saved as a file or imported directly into a program, or put to the clipboard or even to an online storage service. This update fixes issues with Imgur and the new version checking that made the program very slow.

1.2.8.12-cab854b RELEASE

There were some major issues with the authenticated (non anonymous) uploads to Imgur.
After contacting Imgur they told us that their old API was deprecated or disabled, unfortunately this was not communicated. Although we are working hard on Greenshot 1.3, where we changed most of the Imgur code already, we can’t release it. We did see a need to fix the imgur uploads, so in this release we quickly updated the Imgur API. This should resolve a lot of tickets that were reported to us.

additionally, our website is hosted by sourceforge and they seem to have a lot of stability problems. Due to these problems a bug in the Greenshot update check manifested itself and causes Greenshot to get slow or even stop responding. In this version we fix the bug in the update check, and we are also working on a solution for the instability with our website.

Bugs Resolved:

• BUG-1527 / BUG-1848 / BUG-1850 / BUG-1851 / BUG-1859 : Greenshot stops responding, hangs or crashes
• BUG-1843 / BUG-1844 / BUG-1846 : Imgur problems with authenticated uploads
• BUG-1864: Imgur link wasn’t copied to the clipboard

Features:

• FEATURE-896: Use Imgur with HTTPS (with changing the Imgur API from V2 to V3 this was already required for the upload anyway.)
