Feb. 19, 2006 - Version 6.00 (production release)
[minor changes omitted -gdt]
- Added read support for Sony SR2 raw images (but most tags still unknown)
- Added read support for Kyocera Contax N Digital RAW images
- Added ability to write or delete shortcuts which reference multiple tags
(previously only shortcuts referencing a single tag were writable)
- Changed descriptions of FNumber, ExposureTime, ISO, DateTimeOriginal,
CreateDate and ModifyDate to more closely match their tag names
- Separated Canon and Nikon Red/BlueBalance information into individual
components with tag names like WB_RGGBLevels
- Decoded a number of new Canon tags for EOS models, including ColorBalance
tables, 20D AF points and SensorInfo (thanks Rainer Honle)
- Fixed incorrect decoding of EOS 10D/300D color balance modes
- Set MIME type for all RAW image formats to "image/x-raw"
- The -f option is no longer implied when -S and -s are combined
- Fixed problem with validation of Canon PictureInfo for images rotated by
Canon ZoomBrowser EX (thanks Joshua Bixby)
[prior non-production release notes merged]
- Major additions to Canon maker note decoding, including EOS-1D personal
functions (thanks Rainer Honle for decoding many 5D tags)
- Enhanced FMT syntax for -o, -w and -tagsFromFile options
- Decode maker notes of Samsung DX-1S
- Added ability to list tags in a specific group
- Added support for Canon 5D custom functions (thanks Rainer Honle)
- Added support for Canon 1DmkII and 350D custom functions
- Decode AIFF SampleRate
- Properly identify CR2 images read via pipes (previously identified as TIFF)
- Improved formatting of printed values for some DNG tags
- Fixed problem extracting OriginalRawImage from little-endian DNG images
- Fixed problem where "unreferenced bytes" error could be incorrectly issued
when deleting all EXIF from a TIFF image
- Added ability to write JFIF information
- Added ability to extract and decompress original raw image from DNG
- Added read support for AIFF audio files
- API changes:
- SetNewValue() now accepts an ARRAY reference for setting list-type tags
such as Keywords, or a SCALAR reference for binary data, so it may now
be called directly with any value returned by GetValue().
- Recognize Panasonic Type 2 maker notes
- Changed Nikon LensID to a composite tag to allow better decoding of
non-Nikon lenses, and added a bunch of new lenses to the list
- Added ability to read and write AFCP information in JPEG images
- Added read support for WMV video and WMA audio files (ASF format files)
- Added EXIF tags 0x82a5-0x82ac
- Added support for JVC maker notes
- Extract a number of new DNG tags plus DNG JPEG preview image

- Decode maker notes of Nikon D1

- Extract preview image for Samsung Digimax i5
- Added support for JVC maker notes
- Extract a number of new DNG tags plus DNG JPEG preview image
- Added support for AVI and MP4 videos
- Decode maker notes of Nikon D-1
- Combining -t with -S now gives a single-line tab-delimited list of values
- Fixed problem deleting entire XMP data block using '-xmp=' syntax
- Added -F option to allow maker notes offsets to be fixed
- Added -htmlDump option to generate a verbose HTML-based hex dump of EXIF
and/or TIFF information (cool new diagnostic tool)
- Improved synthetic maker notes when coping tags from CRW file
- API changes:
- Added HtmlDump and TextOut options
- Fixed bug which caused error rewriting Minolta MRW images
- Changed writing of TIFF so that existing IPTC will be rewritten as int32u
whenever IPTC is edited, regardless of original format type. This allows
files to be 'fixed' even if IPTC was previously another format (now we get
to see if there is any software out there that barfs on int32u's...)
- Changed the -s option so tag names are displayed instead of descriptions
(now similar to the -S option, but values are aligned in a column)
- Changed writing of new TIFF IPTC information to make it visible in Nikon
Capture (for some reason requires int32u format)
