exiv2-0.27.1

[ken@…]

The exiv developers seem reticent about announcing this (I was expecting it sometime last month, because I need to test some fixes to a non-book package). I thought I looked in the past week, and it was still 0.27.0, but yesterday 0.27.1 had showed up.

Maybe the location has changed, 0.27.1 (and only 0.27.1) is now at ​https://www.exiv2.org/builds/ - mostly binaries, but also the important -Source.

I hope to test this (using gcc-8.3.0) in the next few days, but I don't think I build any of the packages in the book which had issues with 0.27.0.

I need to fix the currency script. Take a look at what I have been using:

​https://github.com/Exiv2/exiv2/releases

The title have:

• 0.27.1
• First release candidate for v0.27.1
• Version 0.27
• Final release candidate for 0.27
• Second release candidate for v0.27
• First release candidate for v0.27
• v0.26

They do not make it easy to automate checking for the latest version.
