Hello pyexiv2 users and developers, You may have noticed that lately I managed to dedicate some time to pyexiv2 and fixed some bugs and implemented missing functionalities. I hope to be able to keep up with this pace in the coming weeks, and my goal is to release a new version before Christmas.
Since the trunk has seen the addition of missing functionalities (and therefore new APIs), instead of bumping the version number to 0.2.3 as I had initially planned, I will be releasing pyexiv2 0.3. Let me be clear about it: 0.3 is fully backward compatible with 0.2, no existing API will be broken. I know this matters for people who started porting their applications from the 0.1 series to the 0.2 series. All the work achieved so far to port your application is still valid. One of the reasons for this new release is that I want to get it in the next release of Ubuntu, 11.04 (Natty Narwhal). The 0.1 series has done its time. This may not matter equally to all of you, but Ubuntu is my platform of choice and it matters to me ;) To achieve this, we need to ensure that all reverse-dependencies of pyexiv2 in Ubuntu are ported to 0.3 in a timely manner and have stable releases. In the current version of Ubuntu, those reverse dependencies are: - lazygal - phatch-cli - videoporama I am willing to help in porting those applications to pyexiv2’s new API, let me know how I can help. Now is also a good time to let me know if you are missing a feature in pyexiv2, there may be time to implement it before the release. To do so, please file a bug report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/pyexiv2/+filebug, or start a discussion on this mailing list. Comments and remarks are welcome!
