What's new in this version:

Added:
- ability to copy CanonMakerNotes from CR3 images to other file types
- read support for ON1 presets file (.ONP)
- two new CanonModelID values
- trailing "/" when writing QuickTime:GPSCoordinates
- a number of new XMP-crs tags
- a new Sony LensType (thanks Jos Roost)
- a new Nikon Z lens (thanks LibRaw)
- a new Canon LensType

Decode:
- ColorData for Canon EOS R5/R6
- a couple of new HEIF tags
- FirmwareVersion for Canon M50

Improved:
- decoding of Sony CreativeStyle tags
- parsing of Radiance files to recognize comments

- Renamed GIF AspectRatio tag to PixelAspectRatio
- Patched EndDir() feature so subdirectories are always processed when -r is used (previously, EndDir() would end processing of a directory completely)
- Yet another tweak to the EventTime formatting rules (also allow time-only values with fractional seconds and a time zone)
- Avoid loading GoPro module unnecessarily when reading MP4 videos from some other cameras

Fixed:
- problem with an incorrect naming of CodecID tags in some MKV videos
- verbose output to avoid "adding" messages for existing flattened XMP tags
