Google has announced last evening, April 20th, that it will no longer offer the Picasa software for the Linux platform.
Picasa for Linux was launched by Google back in 2006, as a Wine-based version. The last version of Picasa for Linux was 3.0.
“We launched a WINE-based version of Picasa for Linux in 2006 as a Google Labs project. As we continue to enhance Picasa, it has become difficult to maintain parity on the Linux version.”
“So today, we’re deprecating Picasa for Linux and will not be maintaining it moving forward. Users who have downloaded and installed older versions of Picasa for Linux can continue to use them, though we won’t be making any further updates.” – was stated in the official Google blog.
