Hello !..


Hi again

I am so sorry for not replying sooner it seems that, one of my emails seemed to have gone astray, so I thought I would reply hoping that you would still remember who I am :)) If by some chance you have changed your email, I guess I would have lost an opportunity too. shame :(

PMT, version 1.0,3h, is available for download at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/picturemetadata

The Windows binary distribution for version 103g of PMT 
(pmt-1_0_3g-bin-win32.zip) had a run-time issue for the DLL versions of 
the Accessor libraries.  This issue has been corrected, and an updated 
pmt-1_0_3g-bin-win32.zip file has been placed on SourceForge for 
downloading.

PMT, version 1.0,3g, is available for download at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/picturemetadata 

This version of PMT has significant upgrades in its documentation. 
A re-written PmtUserGuide.pdf file is available in the distribution. 
Please start with this
document. All documentation is available in the "doc" directory of the PMT 
distribution.

Also, some very important new documentation is available in this release. 
Particularly,
the files PmtMetadataKeysForExif.pdf and PmtMetadataKeysForTiff.pdf 
discuss the
metadata keys used in PMT, from the Exif or TIFF perspective. They are 
very helpful
and a must-read. 

PMT supports MacIntosh OS X. Mac OS 9 is no longer supported in the 
downloadable
version. 

This version also has many bugfixes, compared to version 1.0.3c. The 
ReleaseNote.txt
file in the distribution discusses only the changes since release 1.0.3f, 
which was a
version of PMT that's available by checking out PMT with the -r 
release-1_0_3f tag in
CVS. (Version 1.0.3f is not available for downloading.) 

Following is a list of all the bugs that have been fixed since version 
1.0.3c. Please

Version 1.0.3a of the Picture Metadata Toolkit has just been released.
You may download it by visiting
http://sourceforge.net/projects/picturemetadata.

Below is a sumary of the changes:

               PMT Release Note (version 1.0.3c)
                    09/25/2001

I. Bugs Fixed in this release

        * NULL now checked for in PmtExifAccessor::readMetadata().
          If a metadata key exists in the PmtTranslationTbl.h file,
          but not in PmtDefaultDefinitions.h, then a NULL metadata
          object will be returned. This is now checked for, to avoid
          crashes.

        * Fixed mismatched keys that existed in the tranlsation table
          (PmtTranslationTbl.h) but not in the schema
          (PmtDefaultDefinitions.h).

        * Fixed misspelling of DigitalProcess.ImageSourceEk key in
          the schema.

        * Added missing EXIF information to translation table for these
          keys: CaptureConditions.Magnification, CaptureDevice.FID, and
          OutputOrder.SimpleRenderInst.FrameNumber.

II. New Features

        * None

III. Changes to Existing Features

        * Please note that the Macintosh platform has not been built for
          this release.

Version 1.0.3a of the Picture Metadata Toolkit has just been released.
You may download it by visiting
http://sourceforge.net/projects/picturemetadata.


     Below is a sumary of the changes:


			PMT Release Note (version 1.0.3a)
				5/23/2001

I. Bugs Fixed in this release

	* 426513 - PmtAccessor note calling close() on distruction
	* 426514 - PmtMetadata::fullKey and ::key argument default wrong
	* 426580 - PmtExifAccessor source files not included in the 
		   linux / solaris source distribution.
II. New Features

	* The Win32 distribution now includes a Unicode target. All libraries
	  built under the Unicode target have a "u" attached to the end of
	  the library name, e.g., PmtAccessor.lib (static release) becomes
	  PmtAccessoru.lib (static unicode release).

III. Changes to Existing Features

        * None

IV. Known Bugs

        * 406099 - Parent back pointers from children need to be smart
	* 411940 - Factory registration not working properly with DLLs
	* 418612 - Mapping of MDL "string" simple type to the equivalent 
		    C++ type is fixed to the "string" class, no "wsting"
		    mapping available.

Version 1.0.3 of the Picture Metadata Toolkit has just been released. You may
download it by visiting http://sourceforge.net/projects/picturemetadata.


Below is a sumary of the changes:

			PMT Release Note (version 1.0.3)
				5/17/2001

I. Bugs Fixed in this release

	1. 417035 - Incompatability between return value of PmtMetadata::fullKey()
	   and metadata key argument of PmtMetadata::getMetadatum().

	2. 417445 - Segmentation fault in PmtMetadata::fullKey() when called
	   on an instance that was not deleted, but after call to
	   PmtMetadata::deleteMetadata().

	3. 418610 - md->getMetadata("") returns and empty metadata interator
	   rather than one with references to all existing metadata instances.
	
	4. 419719 - Segmentation Fault reading MakerNotes

	5. 423958 - Reading of MakerNotes failed with an error.


II. New Features

	1. PmtAccessor now supports a single call to retrieve all existing
	   metadata instances in a file. The method is "readMetadata(void)".
	   This allows for very simple copy all metadata from source to
	   destination, e.g.,

		    PmtMetadataPtr srcMd = srcAcc->readMetadata() ;
		    destAcc->writeMetadata( srcMd ) ;

	   Note, at the present this only supports access to known metadata. Plans
	   are in place to also be able to handle the copying of unknown or
	   proprietary metadata.


III. Changes to Existing Features
     
     None in this release.


IV. Known Bugs (referenced via bug id in the bug tracker)

        1. 406099 - Parent back pointers from children need to be smart
	2. 411940 - Factory registration not working properly with DLLs
	3. 418612 - Mapping of MDL "string" simple type to the equivalent 
		    C++ type is fixed to the "string" class, no "wsting"
		    mapping 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.

============================================================
               PMT Release Notes (version 1.0.2)
                    3/30/2001

I. Bugs Fixed in this release

     1. 406176 - Providing a single metadata key to
PmtMetadata::getMetadata()
        returned an empty PmtMetadataIterator rather than one with
        a single reference to the requested metadata.

     2. 411955 - PmtMetadataVisitor not working with Win32 DLL's. (see also
        section III. Changes to Existing Features)

II. New Features

     1. The Metadata Definition Interpreter now interprets the <sequence>
        Metadata Definition Language construct. Calls to
        PmtCompositeMetadata::getMetadata() returns
        a PmtMetadataIterator instance with references to PmtMetadata
        instance in the proper sequence (i.e., in the order specified
        in the metadata definition).

     2. The Metadata Definition Interpreter now interprets the
        <simpleType> construct. The following facets are supported:
        <enumeration>, <minInclusive>, <maxInclusive>, and <list>.

     3. PmtMetadata instance serialization to an input / output
        stream using XML encoding.

     4. API Documentation is now generated using doxygen.

     5. Now compiles on MacOS using CodeWorrier.

     6. Now compiles on GNU/Linux, g++ 2.95.2. Uses the GNU autoconf
         facility. See the readme.html files for details.

III. Changes to Existing Features

     1. Improved the functionality of PmtCompositeMetadata::getMetadata()
        and PmtCompositeMetadata::deleteMetadata(). Now fully supports
        metadata and alias key wildcards.

     2. Added flag (createMetadataIfNotExists) to the
        PmtMetadata::getMetadata() methods to allow application control
        over the creation of non-existent metadata. Value defaults to
        "true" or create the metadata instance if it does not already
        exist.

     3. Support for determining the PmtMetadata's "real" type through
        the Visitor Design Pattern has been integrated in the PmtCore.
        See the User Guide for details on usage and user extensibility.

     4. Unix / Linux build environment has been upgrade to use the
        GNU autoconfiguration utility. See the readme.html file
        for details.

IV. Known Bugs (referenced via bug id in the bug tracker)

        1. 406099 - Parent back pointers from children need to be smart
        2. 411940 - Factory registration not working properly with DLLs
