Google toujours soucieux d'améliorer ses logiciels en bêta, s'occupe aussi (et encore) de ses logiciels qui ne sont plus en phase bêta. En effet, Picasa vient tout juste de sortir en version 2.1.0 Build 27.54 (la dernière mise à jour datait de Février ).
Pour rappeler ce qu'est Picasa, c'est un gestionnaire de photos (dans la branche ACDSee et compagnie) pourvu d'une interface rappelant étrangement l'univers Mac, car Picasa est doté d'une interface claire, animée et intuitive et permet de faire des modifications sur des photos avec des options de base.

Et justement, pour être clair, ce logiciel le devient encore plus... La principale nouveauté de la version 2.1 est l'internationalisation de l'interface !
Oui, Picasa est en français maintenant

Voici le changelog des autres nouveautés (lui, il ne s'est toujours pas internationalisé).

Changelog de Picasa 2.1
 
Picasa 2.1
September 19, 2005.

We have internationalized the software as well as made several improvements. Here's what's new:

* Multiple interface languages – Picasa is now available in Chinese (simplified and traditional), Dutch, English (U.S. and UK) , French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. When you start Picasa, the software will automatically match your system's native language. To change the language in Picasa, go to Tools > Options. Change the language using the pulldown menu on the "General" tab. You will need to close and re-open Picasa to see your changes take effect.

* BlogThis! - Post a photo to your blog in one click. Picasa's new "BlogThis!" button replaces the "Blogger" button and allows you to upload your photos directly to the Blogger web editor, without the need for a Hello account. To use, select a photo in Picasa and click the "BlogThis!" button. (If you do not have a Blogger.com account, follow the steps on-screen to create one.) When you are signed in to Blogger, the web editor will open. Click "Publish" to post your photo to your blog.

* Print CD covers – Turn any photo into cover art. Click the "Print" button. Go to Tools > Options > Printing. Select "CD Cover Size" and apply. "CD Cover Size" is now one of the print layout choices.

* Improved RAW handling – Picasa supports more RAW formats and cameras in this release, with improved color-balance support and faster speed. Work with your highest quality files from these camera manufacturers: Canon (.CRW, .CR2), Nikon (.NEF), Olympus (.ORF), Pentax (.PEF), Kodak (.DCR), Sony (.SRF), Minolta (.MRW), and Fuji(.RAF). New models supported include the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT (aka the 350D), Pentax *istDS, Konica/Minolta Maxxum7D (aka the Dynax 7D).

* External drives - Find photos on external drives using Picasa. Simply go Tools > Folder Manager to choose whether Picasa should scan a connected external drive to find pictures. When you unplug and reconnect, Picasa will find your pictures instantly (with no scanning), and will also preserve your labels
