iPhoto '11 gets email update and further library upgrade fixes

iPhoto '11 gained another point release yesterday, hitting 9.1.1. Slightly more than just bug fixes this time around, email got some attention with two extra email themes called 'Classic' and 'Journal.' A preference has also been added allowing you to specify the size of the photo being sent out via email and to allow photos to be emailed using an external client. Some other small tweaks have also been made, including reliability updates for library upgrades, something which caused serious issues for the initial 9.0 release of iPhoto and has already been updated once before.

iPhone '11 9.1.1 is a recommended update for all iPhoto users, although care should be taken if upgrading your library from a previous iPhoto version -- Apple doesn't have the greatest track record as of late, so make sure you've got a backup. You can download the update here, or from Software Update. The full changelog has been included after the break.

This update adds new email options to iPhoto '11. It also improves overall stability and addresses a number of other minor issues. Specific fixes include:

• Adds a preference allowing photos to be emailed using an external email application
• Adds "Classic" and "Journal" themes to email.
• Photos attached to an email can now be sized to Small, Medium or Large
• Improves reliability when upgrading a library from an earlier version of iPhoto
• iPhoto now correctly preserves the sort order of Events after upgrading a library
• Event titles displayed in headers can now be edited in Photos view
• Addresses a problem that could cause duplicate photos to be added to a MobileMe album
• Scrolling overlay now correctly displays ratings when photos are sorted by rating
• Photos are now sorted correctly when a rating is changed and photos are sorted by rating
• Fixes a problem that could cause text formatting controls to become inaccessible when editing a calendar

The update is recommended for all users of iPhoto '11
