Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, Shutter is a screenshot tool, similar to the Windows 7 Snipping Tool. The latest version available is Shutter 0.91, which has been recently released, coming with a few changes only: a new icon has been implemented, the support for the imm.io image service has been removed and the the session tab does not display thumbnails anymore. For more information about this release, see the official announcement.
