libiptcdata is a C library for manipulating the International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC) metadata stored within multimedia files such as images.

This metadata can include captions and keywords, often used by popular photo management applications. The library provides routines for parsing, viewing, modifying, and saving this metadata.

The libiptcdata package also includes a command-line utility, iptc, for viewing and editing IPTC data in JPEG files.

What's New in This Release:
Library changes:

Added function iptc_data_set_version() to make it easy to set the version number of the IPTC IIM spec being used.
Added new convenience functions iptc_data_add_dataset_with_value() and iptc_data_add_dataset_with_contents().

iptc Utility Changes:

New capability to modify/delete/print specific datasets when more than one of the same type exists, by appending the number to the end of the tag name. For example, "Keywords:1" or "2:25:1" refer to keyword tag number 1 (the 2nd keyword tag).
New capability to modify/delete/print all datasets of a specific type when more than one exists. For example, "Keywords:all" or "2:25:all" will execute the operation on all keyword tags.
Dataset numbers (for duplicates) are now printed when the IPTC contents are displayed to the user.
Changed the semantics of the program's return value: Success whenever at least one operation succeeds and failure if no operation succeeds.
Whenever a file is saved, datasets are now sorted by default unless the --no-sort option is specified.
Mac OS X compile fixes.
