KGeoTag 1.4.0 released
I'm pleased to anncounce the new 1.4.0 release of KGeoTag, the stand-alone geotagging program!
The most "visible" change of this release is: KGeoTag now supports handling of some TIFF-based RAW image formats (cr2, nef and dng). By default, XMP sidecar files are created for those (regardless of the global setting). Additionally, there's a new option for enabling direct Exif header changes for RAW files.
Thanks a lot to Angel Lopez to bring this up and help to implement this properly!
Additionally, some minimum depencency version bumps have been done (KF 5.68.0 and Qt 5.12.0). Those should be fine with older (LTS) distributions. The dependency bump to Marble 21.12.0 broke the compatibility with (at least) Ubuntu LTS 20.04 and Debian Bullseye. As KGeoTag could always be compiled against Marble from the beginning, the required Marble version is now omitted again, until >= 21.12.0 hits LTS distros (the first Marble version to have decent versioning).
TL;DR: KGeoTag can now be built (again) on Ubuntu LTS 20.04 and Debian Bullseye – without any manual changes.
Last but not least, the timezones data files have been updated to the 2022g release of Timezone Boundary Builder. Due to some changes to the script creating the timezones map KGeoTag uses from it, we now 1. have much less changes to the timezones.json file on changes to the underlying data and 2. much nicer colors in timezones.png ;-)
Have a lot of fun with KGeoTag!
