The library's <a title="Exiv2 API documentation" href="doc/index.html">API</a>

benefits of this change are manifold. In particular, the reduced

Under the hood, the TIFF parser code was consolidated: JPEG images

now also use the new TIFF parser to read and write Exif metadata

suppress all output from the library and a small script,

exiv2-config, to help with the compilation of your applications.<br>

under which the company can use most of the Exiv2 library (except for

under terms which are different from those of the GPL.

In return Vizrea will assign the copyright of their changes to me and

contribute them back to the free version.<br>

Therefore, if this deal is successful, the free version of Exiv2

Brad, who wrote major portions of the existing library is with

<b><a name="item38">Exiv2 0.7 released</a></b><br>The inside-out design change made class Exiv2::Image the

|
top-level class of the library. This is the basis for support of
|
||
|
|
other file formats (however, Exiv2 still only supports Jpeg for
|
||
|
|
now). As a result, the C++ interface changed fundamentally in the
|
||
|
|
way how metadata is accessed. Existing programs will need to be
|
||
|
|
updated (see the examples). Thanks to the new I/O abstraction layer,
|
||
|
|
it is now possible to access images in memory directly.<br>
|
||
|
|
Additional makernotes from Olympus, Panasonic and Sony cameras
|
||
|
|
are recognized and the Canon and Nikon makernotes have been updated.<br>
|
||
|
|
Exif tags now have a default type, it works like the existing Iptc
|

|
|
default type.<br>
