What's new in this version:

Added:
- new IPTC Video Metadata version 1.3 tags
- a couple of new Canon lenses
- a new Sony LensType
- known Unknown value for IPTC ChromaticityColorant
- new Nikon WhiteBalanceFineTune tag

- Extract the raw thermal data from all frames of a SEQ file when -ee2 is used
- Decode individual tags in QuickTime ColorRepresentation
- Decode a new Matroska tag
- Improved verbose "nothing changed" messages when writing
- Patched -ee option to extract metadata after the first Cluster in MKV videos (previously only -U and -v did this)
- Patched to differentiate Java bytecode .class files from Mach-O fat binaries
- Patched to avoid "Use of uninitialized value" warning when deleting GPS coordinates via the newly writable Composite tags
- Patched to avoid duplicating raw data when writing Sony ARW images where the raw data is double-referenced as both strips and tiles (affects ARW images from some newer models like the ILCE-1 when SonyRawFileType is "Lossless Compressed RAW 2")
- Patched to avoid "fixing" the order of IFD entries in TIFF-based RAW files to improve compatibility with some RAW viewers
- Minor change to Composite FileNumber to remove "-" when -n is used
- Fixed problem extracting some timed metadata when "-api ignoretags=all" was used with "-api requesttags" to request the specific information
- Fixed -validate feature to avoid incorrectly warning about non-capitalized boolean values in XMP
