        - Fix building under Perl 5.8.8 (including Red Hat 5.6)

2.00    Sun May  6 16:22:04 BST 2012
        - New maintainer Aaron Crane <arc@cpan.org>
        - New versioning scheme: don't encode exiftags version number in
          Perl module version
        - Upgrade embedded exiftags library to 1.01
        - Require Perl 5.8
        - Fix build on case-insensitive filesystems, as typically found
          under Mac OS, Windows, Cygwin, etc (RT#4353, RT#4973, RT#76281)
        - Fix broken dists (RT#4353, RT#32641)
        - Fix: allow multiple Image::EXIF objects to exist simultaneously
        - Fix: no more fixed-size buffers (and potential buffer overflows)
        - Use exceptions to report errors, not a mixture of exit() and
          return-value checking (RT#26094)

(-)     Fix
        Martijn van de Streek found a bug and sent a patch. Below his note:
        >In the current version of Image::EXIF there's a bug: when reading a
        >non-EXIF JPEG file after reading an EXIF JPEG file, the module generates
        >a Segmentation Fault.
        >
        >The attached patch fixes this bug by re-setting the "et" to NULL after
        >exiffree()ing it.

(-)     Fix
        One more issue. If file which is kinda jpeg is a wrong one, then
        package gets stuck.
        Fixed


99.1  Fri May 21 14:40 PST 2004
        Mr Eric Johnston released new version of his library which is 0.99.1
        So did we!

        From now I'm gonna rename exif.c to _exif.c to allow compile and use
        this package for Win & Mac perl cookers.

        And just small note from Blair Zajac:
        >Hello,

        >I'm looking to use the Image::EXIF module and noticed that the
        >'unknown' hash key is actually spelled 'unknow'.  Since all
        >occurrences of the word are misspelled in the package, is this
        >deliberate?

        >I'm attaching a patch to fix this and a couple of other spelling
        >mistakes.

        >Best,
        >Blair

        Thanks Blair for your note.
        Fixed.

        HONY (OldNewYear Crazy Russian Custom)
        * small change in EXIF.xs
                78c78
                <                       break;
                ---
                >                       ;
                -

        From Rolf Dignatz:

                using the original Image-EXIF-0.98.5:

                file: nikon0001.JPG

                rd debug: read_data: mark = 0xe1    (JPEG_M_APP1)
                rd debug: exifscan: header='Exif'
                rd debug: read_data: mark = 0xe1    (JPEG_M_APP1)
                rd debug: exifscan: header='http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/'

                (null): couldn't find Exif data

                As you see in my first debug output there are two
                JPEG_M_APP1-marked sections in the nikon jpeg-file
                and only the first one is the 'real' EXIF section.
                So I decided to break after the first legal EXIF section.

                Another way might be to read all possibly EXIF sections
                and process them all?
                Similar is the original exiftags-0.98::exiftags.c::doit()
                (code in line ~ 182) which processes each JPEG_M_APP1-section
                which leads in a true expression



        * small fix in create_web_gallery.pl

98.5  Mon Jan 5 11:28:48 PST 2004
        HNY
        * exifgps.c file was missing in package
        + also I added script create_web_galley.pl
          where you can see how I deal with the package

98.3  Mon Nov 10 11:28:48 PST 2003
        * bugfix.
          EXIF got core dump if jpeg didn't have exif section.
