It's not clear to me where to request new or updated packages so I'll put this here. Fotoxx is a top notch digital photo processing app with advanced features. The webpage is at
http://www.kornelix.com/fotoxx.html and the source downloads are 1/4 of the way down that page. Fotoxx 14.08 has many streamlined improvements and also fixes some previous problems. I recommend it to anyone who wants to get the most from their camera in an application that is simple to use but as complicated as you meed it to be. TIA to whoever might get this into the repos.

OK, I was forgetting that the annual rollout pertains to applications as well as the OS itself and other than that, other than bugfixes, things will apparently stay as they were. So, should I put a note in the heading for "Feature planning for Mageia 5"? I am testing mga5a2 64-bit w/ Mate DE and I do have a newer version of Fotoxx installed in that but not 14.08.

No, the feature planning for Mageia 5 is long done. And a new version of a package is not a feature, see
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Features_pol ... _a_featureCheck
viewtopic.php?f=15&t=7182 also.
Best report that as an update request, after searching if it hasn't been reported yet already:

Thanks. I thought that was what i was doing with my first post on this topic, or was trying to anyway. Fotoxx, I find to be some excellent software that is a joy to use and keeps getting better. 14.08 makes a significant jump from 14.04. I appreciate you submitting it.
