What's new in this version:

- Added ability to include or exclude tags from CSV and JSON imports (-csv=CSVFILE and -json=JSONFILE) by adding -TAG or --TAG options
- Added read/delete support for SEAL metadata in JPG, TIFF, XMP, PNG, WEBP, HEIC, PPM, MOV and MP4 files, and read support in PDF, MKV and WAV files
- Added support for user-defined application extensions in GIF images
- Added print conversion for QuickTime VideoFullRangeFlag
- Apply API LimitLongValues option to hex field in -j output
- Avoid extracting some large AES-encrypted data from PDF files for performance reasons unless the -m option is used (current limits are 100 kB for XMP and 10 kB for everything else)
- Fixed WindowsLongPath option to support wide characters (thanks Frank B)
- Fixed problem writing ICC_Profile to a GIF image which already had one
- Fixed problem writing Apple:FocusDistanceRange

API Changes:
- Enchanced GlobalTimeShift option to allow the base tag to be specified, otherwise use the first specified source date/time tag when copying tags
