Version 2.6.0 Released

[Drew Noakes]

Highlights of this release:

• Much faster processing of large TIFF files
• Easier use of GPS data
• Basic support for PSD files

A little more detail:

• Added GeoLocation type and updated the means of extracting GPS data from the GpsDirectory
• Added a new sample application which produces Google Maps HTML for a directory of photos which contain GPS data
• Converted BufferReader from a class to an interface, renaming the prior implementation as ByteArrayReader
• Created a new RandomAccessFileReader which allows the processing of files without loading the whole file into memory
• Added PsdMetadataReader, PsdReader, PsdHeaderDirectory and PsdHeaderDescriptor classes which offer some basic support for PSD files
• Changed base class's MetadataReader.extract method to take a BufferReader instead of a byte[]

Version 2.5.1 was released a few days ago, so I'm rolling it into this email as well.  It contained mostly bug fixes and housekeeping.

• Proper handling of all signed/unsigned integer types supported by Exif and Tiff data in general
• Fixed bug in processing of unsigned rational values
• Converted project hosting from SVN to Git
• Rearranged project structure slightly
• Tests now have their own folder
• Sample code now has its own folder
