Package: exiv2
Version: 0.10-1.4
Severity: wishlist

Peter,

There is a new upstream release of exiv2, which fixes some crashes for
digikam, per the attached changelog.

I have now injected the exiv2 debian/  into 
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-kde/kde-extras/exiv2/ and propose to release 
and manage this new upstream release from the kde-extras team,
which you are welcome to join. This would be the 7th NMU of your package.

If you are interested in co-maintenance, please have a look at our README:
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-kde/kde-extras/README?op=file&rev=0&sc=0

Mark


Changes from version 0.12 to 0.13
---------------------------------

* Exiv2 utility
        - 0000504: [tools] exiv2 utility: allow use of -M and -m options with extract
                   and insert actions.

* Exiv2 library
        - 0000503: [metadata] Tiff generated by photoshop crashes exiv2 
                   (digikam bug 139658).
        - 0000502: [iptc] New TIFF parser: Decode IPTC from Exif.Image.IPTCNAA.
                   (Reported by Walter Hangartner)
        - 0000501: [iptc] IPTC field parsing is still too strict: shouldn't fail if 
                   the type is not as expected. (Reported by Elsa Nordh)
        - 0000497: [tools] exiv2 tool doesn't respect unix file rights. (Reported and
                   analysed by fabien)
        - 0000491: [miscellaneous] Probe exiv2 for the extensions it supports.
                   (Suggested by Will Stokes)
        - 0000461: [miscellaneous] Add i18n support. Requires gettext.
                   (Gilles Caulier)
                   The currently available translations are still work in progress:
                   Finnish by Mikael Lammentausta
                   French by Gilles Caulier (ported from libexif) and Olivier Tilloy
                   German by Gilles Caulier (ported from libexif) and Oliver Dörr
                   Russian by Alexandre Prokoudine
                   Polish, Spanish by Gilles Caulier, ported from libexif
        - 0000460: [exif] Exiv2 should support to decode/encode Windows tags
                   Exif.Image.0x9c9b-0x9c9f. Requires libiconv. 
                   (Suggested by Jose Oliver)
        - 0000452: [exif] Non-intrusive writing does not update IFD.
                 - [exif] Updated Nikon lens info to v2.15 of Robert Rottmerhusen's 
                   lens database.
                 - [exif] Added read-support for Fujifilm RAF images.
                 - [exif] Image class hierarchy refactored: Image now has containers
                   and provides default implementations for most methods. Calling 
                   an unsupported method of any Image subclass now results in an 
                   exception. Added a method to access the MIME type of an image.

* MSVC related
                 - [exivsimple] Added get and set thumbnail functions.
