With revision 1512 I've finally merged the TIFF write support to the
trunk. Please go ahead and test it and post your feedback here or
directly to the bug tracker
(http://dev.robotbattle.com/bugs/main_page.php).
Since this change also replaces the Exif parser used for JPEG images,
please test with JPEG images too, even if you're not interested in the
TIFF writing feature.
Besides, I've introduced a namespace Exiv2::Internal and started to
clean-up and reduce the published API. So please also let me know in
case you're missing something in the API. In particular, the methods
ExifData::load and copy and IptcData::load and copy have moved to
ExifParser::decode and encode and IptcParser::decode and encode.

If you find a problem, it's best if you report it with a sample image
and instructions how to reproduce the problem, preferably with exiv2
command line tool commands or a short program.

The Exiv2 version in svn trunk is now 0.17.91, which should be useful
for applications which check it.

What should work:
- Everything that worked before, except for the issues listed below
- Writing to TIFF images (even creating TIFF images from scratch)

Known issues:
- Writing to TIFF-like (RAW) images is unlikely to work at this point.
However, it will quite certainly corrupt the images.
- Duplicate Exif tags don't work yet
- Not all regression tests pass yet
- The trunk probably doesn't compile with MSVC now, patches welcome

What I like best about this massive patch is that in total, there are
now more than 1800 lines (4%) of C++ code _less_ than before!

Andreas

Q: How do I get the trunk version from the repository?
