It's time for yet a new release of SnapIT. Not so many direct MorphOS-related changes this time, but some minor fixes and corrections.

1. Updated JPEG/PNG save routines.
2. Filtered out backdrop windows to avoid crashes.
3. Fix to erase old preview data when new one is overlapping.
4. New icon set from Thomas Blatt (found in icons-drawer).
5. Italian translation by Samir Hawamdeh.
6. Added keyfile support, functionality is not crippled (don't worry) =)

In order to celebrate the 2000th MorphOS registration, we'd like to thank our users for their support since the introduction of the MorphOS 2.0 in 2008. Since MorphOS 2.4, we've been expanding our hardware base to a variety of Apple PowerPC computers, including their excellent portables. The adoption rate of the Mac mini quickly surpassed the bPlan machines, and the Mini still remains the most popular MorphOS platform.
