Ubuntu packages for pyexiv2 0.2
Written for pyexiv2 by Olivier Tilloy on 2010-04-12
Packages for pyexiv2 0.2.0 for the upcoming Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) are available in pyexiv2 developers' brand new PPA at https:/
They are marked as conflicting with (and replacing) the official packages for 0.1.3, and they break the known reverse dependencies (lazygal and phatch-cli).
For people with experience in packaging and willing to review my work, the packaging branch is available at lp:~osomon/pyexiv2/python-pyexiv2-lucid.
pyexiv2 0.2.0 released
Written for pyexiv2 by Olivier Tilloy on 2010-03-25
pyexiv2 0.2.0 was released today, after almost two years of quite irregular development.
This new release is an almost complete, not backward compatible, rewrite of the 0.1 branch.
Among other things, it features:
- Support for reading and writing XMP metadata;
- Support for reading images from stream;
- A fully documented API (the documentation also includes a tutorial and detailed instructions for developers);
- Compiled and tested on Linux and Windows;
- A battery of unit tests that reasonably covers the code.
Feedback, suggestions and bug reports are welcome.

pyexiv2 0.2 pre-release testing
Written for pyexiv2 by Olivier Tilloy on 2010-01-26
The 0.2 branch of pyexiv2 is now ready for pre-release testing.
There are still some missing bits (complete documentation and a windows installer are the two big items on my list), but the functionality is there and I'd love to see it stress-tested and get as much feedback as possible.
The bazaar branch can be grabbed at lp:pyexiv2, it should be compiled against the latest release of libexiv2, 0.19.
Bug reports and questions are welcome!
