I would like to request FFe for exiv2 0.18. This version, released in
Dec 2008, provides major improvements in the area of write support
(added support for TIFF, DNG, NEF, PEF, PNG and JP2 images) and can
properly detect Canon lens types (before only Nikon). It would be really
good to have this version in Jaunty, as otherwise users will have to
wait for almost a year after release (Keramic) to have access to these
features.
This request for sync was requested before FF, but transition of all rdepends
took a bit of time. All rdepends issues have been resolved (pyexiv2 is still
pending FFe from motu-release - see previous comment).
Since January, I have also extensively tested exiv2 0.18 with two major
rdepends: digikam and ufraw. No regression was observed.
