Software update: XnConvert 1.79

Version 1.79 of XnConvert has been released. XnConvert is an image editing program. For example, it can reduce and crop, colors and contrast can be adjusted and a watermark can be added. The program was developed by Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet, who we also know from XnView. Versions are available for Windows, Linux, and macOS, with separate downloads for 32- and 64-bit environments. The changelog for this release looks identical to version 1.78, so it’s not entirely clear what has changed.
