Log Message:
Update to 5.72.

Oct. 28/05 - Version 5.72

  - Added ability to create XMP data files.  This is more significant than it
    sounds:  The -o option may now be used to generate XMP files from
    information in any other format, or even to create an XMP file from nothing
    more than tags defined on the command line.
  - Added printout of number of directories created with -w and -o options
  - Improved error handling
  - Effectively set preferred group to 'XMP' when writing XMP data files
  - Fixed problem rewriting maker notes of some Pentax cameras
  - API Changes:
      - Added CanWrite() and CanCreate() functions
      - Allow WriteInfo() source file to be undefined to create new file
      - Allow WriteInfo() output file to be undefined to edit file in place
      - Added extra argument to WriteInfo() to specify output file type

Oct. 24/05 - Version 5.71

  - Added ability to read/write .XMP data files
  - Added -listf option to print list of recognized file types
  - Changed "-group#" option to "-listg#" (but still support old -group#)
  - Moved Kodak APP3 "Meta" tags from EXIF to a new Kodak "Meta" group

Oct. 23/05 - Version 5.70

  - Significant internal changes to improve speed and reduce memory useage
  - Fixed a bug introduced in version 5.63 which caused incorrect XMP GPS
    coordinates to be returned
  - Changed handling of Kodak date records
  - API Changes:
      - Added ability to access original 'Raw' values via GetValue()
      - GetValue() now returns empty array in list context if value is undefined
      - Values are now converted as they are requested, so the PrintConv option
        now applies to GetInfo() and GetValue() instead of ExtractInfo()

Oct. 19/05 - Version 5.69

  - Changed UTF-8 bug fix introduced in 5.67 to improve portability and allow it
    to work with Perl versions back to 5.6
  - Changed some offsets in verbose output from relative to absolute addressing
  - Improved APP12 decoding
  - Changed technique for rounding off extracted rational values
  - API Changes:
      - Changed handling of floating point numbers to tolerate locales where a
        comma is used instead of a decimal point

  - Added support for reading Sigma RAW (X3F) images

Oct. 13/05 - Version 5.67 (production release)

  - Added support for reading PICT images
  - Fixed a problem when writing information via the ExifTool API if using Perl
    5.8 or later and passing a UTF-8 encoded string to SetNewValue().  The
    problem generated an error which prevented the file from being written
  - Fixed timezone problem in timestamps of QuickTime images which was causing
    a failed test

Oct. 10/05 - Version 5.66

  - Enhanced -tagsFromFile option to allow %d, %f and %e in filenames
  - Extract a few more tags from Canon EOS 5D images
  - Allow multiple ICC_Profiles to be extracted from same image and add a number
    to the group1 name for subsequent profiles to make the tag locations unique
  - Changed Photoshop PixelsPerInchX/Y and QuickTime DotsPerInchX/Y tag names to
    X/YResolution.  Neither has a corresponding ResolutionUnit tag, so inches
    should be assumed if no resolution unit is present
  - Added tests of Nikon, Sony and PDF decryption algorithms

Oct. 7/05 - Version 5.65

  - Added read support for QuickTime MOV videos (and QTIF images if anyone
    cares)
  - Extract maker note information from Sony SRF raw images
  - Improved Jpeg2000 decoding
  - Decode a few more Photoshop tags
  - Issue an error if there is extra data after the normal end of file when
    rewriting TIFF images (avoids possible data loss if attempting to write an
    unsuported RAW image with a TIFF-like data structure)
  - Added ability to replace existing tags with user defined tags
  - Denote minor errors/warnings by adding '[minor]' to the message (these are
    the errors which can be ignored with the -m option)
  - Fixed problem of missing LeafSubIFD when rewriting MOS images
  - Removed hack to write Leaf maker note information at start of image

Sept. 30/05 - Version 5.64

  - Allow tag aliases to be used when writing
  - Changed print conversion of FileSize tag
  - Internal changes to tag lookup to improve speed when writing information

  - Changes to handling of GPS coordinates:
      - Added -c (CoordFormat) option to format output of GPS coordinates
      - Added GPSPosition composite tag
      - GPS coordinates now show as decimal degrees with the -n option

    more convenient since '*' must be quoted to prevent shell globbing

  - Fixed problem where the proper tags weren't excluded from being extracted if
    -GROUP:All and --TAG options are used together on the command line

May 5/05 - Version 5.10

  - Changed -AllTagsFromFile option to -TagsFromFile and allow copied tags to be
    specified on the command line.  (-AllTagsFromFile is preserved as an alias
    to -TagsFromFile for backward compatibility.)
  - Allow -GROUP:All and --GROUP:All on command line to extract or exclude all
    tags in specified group
  - Allow family 1 group names to be used when deleting groups with -GROUP:All=

  - Fixed problem where maker notes of Olympus C2500L could get corrupted when
    writing

Apr. 18/05 - Version 5.03

  - ExifTool now requires Perl version 5.004 or higher (previously 5.002 was OK)

    the value data of an IFD entry (only effects Casio images)
  - Fixed problems rewriting some Casio maker notes
  - Change priority of orientation (and a number of other tags which may appear
    in IFD1) so value in IFD0 takes precedence of value in IFD1 if it exists
  - API Changes:
      - Allow any file reference, not only GLOB references, to be used in
        function calls
