  • v5.5.0 Changes

    • ⬆️ 🌱 ExifTool upgraded to v11.08.

  • v5.4.0 Changes

    • ✨ Some photo sharing sites will set the CreateDate or SubSecCreateDate to invalid values like 0001:01:01 00:00:00.00. These values are now returned as strings so consumers can more consistently discriminate invalid metadata.

  • v5.3.0 Changes

    • ✨ Prior versions of ExifTool.read() always added the -fast option. This read mode omits metadata found after the image payload. This makes reads much faster, but means that a few tags, like OriginalImageHeight, may not be extracted. See https://sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/#performance for more details.

    Cuneytt reported this and I realized I should make -fast a user preference. To maintain existing behavior, I've made the optional second argument of ExifTool.read default to ["-fast"]. If you want to use "slow mode", just give an empty array to the second argument. If you want -fast2 mode, provide ["-fast2"] as the second argument.

  • v5.2.0 Changes

  • v5.1.0 Changes

    • ✨ new exiftool.rewriteAllTags(), which may repair problematic image metadata.
    • ⬆️ 🌱 ExifTool upgraded to v11.02.
    • 0️⃣ 📦 taskRetries default is now 1, which should allow recovery of the rare RPC/fork error, but actual corrupt files and realy errors can be rejected sooner.
    • ✅ 📦 Pull in latest dependencies, include new batch-cluster.

  • v5.0.0 Changes

    • 💔/✨ Task rejections are always Errors now, and ExifTool.on observers will be provided Errors on failure cases. Previously, rejections and events had been a mixture of strings and Errors. I'm bumping the major version just to make sure people adjust their code accordingly, but I'm hoping this is a no-op for most people. Thanks for the suggestion, Nils Knappmeier!

  • v4.26.0 Changes

    • ⬆️ 🌱 ExifTool upgraded to v11.01. Note that ExifTool doesn't really follow semver, so this shouldn't be a breaking change, so we'll stay on v4.
    • ✅ 📦 Pull in latest dependencies, including batch-cluster and TypeScript.
    • 📦 Fix version spec because exiftool now has a left-zero-padded version that semver is not happy about.

  • v4.25.0 Changes

    • ⬆️ 🌱 ExifTool upgraded to v10.98

  • v4.24.0 Changes

    • ⬆️ 🌱 ExifTool upgraded to v10.95
    • 📚 📦 Fix .pl dependency to omit test files and documentation

  • v4.23.0 Changes

    • ⬆️ 🌱 ExifTool upgraded to v10.94
    • ✅ 📦 Pull in latest dependencies, including more robust BatchCluster exiting (which may help with rare child zombies during long-lived parent processes on macOS)
