Release 1.8 submitted

A new release of the application has been submitted to Apple for approval with a number of important fixing focused on the positioning of the clouds that in the past release are unfortunately not always shown as they should, rendering it much smoother by the elimination of most non thread safe components in the code.
Moreover, following a hint by a user that by those means has won one of the soon to be available merchandise objects, the handling of the manual insertion of the geotagging information has been totally revamped.
Finally a french version of the application is available to complement the English, Italian and German version already available.
