It seem that digiKam team is very active. After two months of release 1.2 version, they are releasing version 1.2 with massive change-log. I wonder how they manage to do that? Is developing digiKam so easy? Anyway, enjoy this release.

The main changes are in ImageEditor and BatchQueueManager. ImageEditor becomes multi-threaded and has a zoom-able preview widget. BatchQueueManager gains 16 new tools. Moreover, digiKam managed to close 100 bug reports which is impressive.
For more details see the announcement here.
Well done guys and keep it up.

But to understand the details, one should read a lot of literature, which is not enough in the internet. To make the search easier, you may find more linux manuals at pdfph.com and make use of their pdf ebook search engine.
it seems very complex!
