What's new in this version:

- Added support for a number of new XMP tags written by ACR 15.1
- Added a new Nikon LensID
- Decode timed GPS from Lamax S9 dual dashcam MOV videos
- Decode a number of new Nikon tags (thanks Warren Hatch)
- Decode a couple of new Canon tags (thanks John Moyer)
- Decode FujiFilm BWMagentaGreen tag
- Enable block-write of EXIF to JXL files
- Accept values of "now" and "Z" when writing EXIF OffsetTime tags
- Changed priority of XMP when reading/writing HEIC files so that it is no longer preferred as with other QuickTime-based formats
- Changed family 1 group name of Canon DR4 tags from CanonVRD to CanonDR4 to allow newer tags to be differentiated from older ones. The family 0 group name for both remains CanonVRD
- Patched to recognize JXL EXIF box with non-zero header length
- Patched to avoid runtime error when writing a PDF with an Info dictionary which was stored incorrectly as a direct object
- Fixed problem writing EXIF to JXL images where a new EXIF box was created even if one previously existed
