With this release, PMT now reads Exif 2.2.1 files correctly. The ability to remove tags without copying an image, which was mysteriously missing, has been added. Also, a new sample program to dump the tags from an IFD stored in the MakerNote field. Note that this program is dependent on several highly variable parameters, so your milage may vary.

This release adds a new Tiff/JFIF to EXIF 2.2 converter in the examples. It also is now supported on Mac OSX (10.3) and 64-bit Linux machines.

Most applications simply use the default schema and translation table provided
with the distribution of PMT. If you are not reading in JPEG2000 files nor XML
metadata files, there should be no need for an XML parser. Thus, this release
does not require one. By using a "preparsed" default schema, the toolkit
initialization time improves by a factor of 30.

The Picture Metadata Toolkit (PMT) provides a common Object Oriented API to metadata associated with digital imaging. PMT also allows metadata to be read / written in XML, and metadata definitions are expressed through XML Schema. This is a maintenance release fixing memory leaks and possible execution errors.

The Picture Metadata Toolkit (PMT) provides a common Object Oriented API to metadata associated with digital imaging. PMT also allows metadata to be read / written in XML, and metadata definitions are expressed through XML Schema. Due to verwhelming demand for Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 .NET (VC 7.1) support, this maintenance release is geared specifically for that. Switching to the 2003 .NET compiler does improve performance slightly, at the cost of adding to the memory footprint.

In this release, performance has been increased by about 10%, as memory usage has decreased by about 10%, mostly thanks to the new translation table design. PMT has also been successfully tested with both Xerces V2.2 and V2.3.

The Picture Metadata Toolkit compiled with Microsoft's VC6 and the KIES EXIF library has been released.

PMT V1.2 is released and comes with a substantial performance improvement along with full Xerces 2.2 support.

The Picture Metadata Toolkit (PMT) provides a common Object Oriented API to metadata associated with digital imaging. PMT also allows metadata to be read / written in XML, and metadata definitions are expressed through XML Schema. This is the first main branch release in almost two years with too many updates to list.

The Picture Metadata Toolkit (PMT) provides a common Object Oriented API to metadata associated with (or stored in) a digital image file. PMT also allows metadata to be read / written in XML, metadata definitions are expressed through XML Schema. This version contains a small update, compared to version 1.0.3g. In preperation for building PMT with the .NET compiler, a change was made to the PmtMetadataT.cpp source file.

This is primarily a bug fix release. Added ability to read all existing metadata in a file to the accessors -- allows for simple copy all metadata source to destination. Added Unicode builds for Win32. See release notes for details.

Version 1.0.2 of the Picture Metadata Toolkit is now available
for download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/picturemetadata.

Some Highlights:

* Now compiles and runs on the MacOS and CodeWorrier
* Now compile and runs on GNU/Linux (tested on RedHat 6.2 and 7.0; g++ 2.95.2)
* Significant improvements in the behavior of the getMetadata() method.

The Picture Metadata Toolkit (PMT) is up and running on SourceForge. The PMT provides a common Object Oriented API to metadata stored in an image file. PMT also allows metadata to be read / written in XML. The metadata that PMT "understands" is supplied through an external metadata definition file. The metadata definitions are expressed through the XML Schema language.
