I relay here Andreas Huggel post about the new Exiv2 0.18 release, available to download with main changes listed below:

• Write-support for TIFF, DNG, NEF,PEF, PNG and JP2 images.
• Makernote updates.
• Access to image previews.

On Windows, Exiv2 can now be built as a DLL. In addition to the changes in the 0.18 pre-releases, the Exiv2 command line utility has new options to show all (Exif, IPTC and XMP) metadata and to list and extract preview images.

It's the work of many and marks a major milestone in the history of Exiv2.
