    thread simultaneously
  * Expanded the Doxygen API documentation
  * Access to the raw EXIF data through the ExifEntry structure members is
    now officially documented
  * Fixed some Olympus/Sanyo MakerNote interpretations
  * Added support for Epson MakerNotes
  * Fixed bug #1946138 to stop ignoring CFLAGS in the sqrt configure test
  * Added remaining GPS tags from the EXIF 2.2 spec to the tag table

  * Changed exif_tag_get_support_level_in_ifd() to return a value when possible
    when the data type for the given EXIF data is unknown. This will cause

    data type being set.
