This is very unfortunate. :-(
Problem is that Tiff parsing code (which is also used for various RAW files) 
was refactored so it is very hard for me to pull out exact fixes for crashes 
various users are experiencing.

Which changes are considered bigger risk for regression? Most of the
changes are bug fixes (including several crashes). In terms of new
functionality, there is new command line mode: organize (note that
command line is not primary interface for libexiv2), new Nikon lens
database (just table updated), translations (are they problematic for
rosetta import or similar?) and build files for MSVC++.

I would also like to note that exiv2 is only used by KDE applications in
main (gwenview, digikam, kipi-plugins) and I do not see any GNOME/main
apps dependency (so I think it is not even on Ubuntu CD). Without fixes,
Kubuntu users using photo applications will have very unstable
experience with Jaunty. :-(

Anyway, I leave it Kubuntu core-dev's and Jonathan Riddell to drive this
further. I will just use PPA for the time being.
