This release fixes a security vulnerability found in libexif 0.6.18. A substantial performance improvement was made. New translations were added for the be, en_GB, it, ja, pt, sq, and zh_CN locales.
This release's highlights include greatly expanded API documentation and sample programs, improved support for Pentax, Casio, and Epson MakerNotes, increased stability in the face of corrupted JPEG files, and proper output alignment in UTF-8 locales. EXIF tag fixup is now more eager in the default case, which means that more mandatory tags are added when needed and others are automatically corrected to be of the proper data types. New translations for the da, is, it, lv, pt_BR, and sr locales are also included.
This release collects several security and bug
fixes that have accumulated in the considerable
time since the previous release. In addition,
support for Fuji and Sanyo maker notes has been
added and more EXIF and maker note tags are now
interpreted. Dutch and Swedish translations have
also been contributed.
