+     - PTP/IP support has been added.

+     - On selected Nikon and Canon cameras it is now possible to capture
+       images into the Camera SDRAM and in turn downloading it to libgphoto2
+       internal storage, bypassing the memory card.
+
+       To enable it, use the "capturetarget" setting, also saved in
+       .gphoto/settings.
+
+       This is useful for:
+	   gphoto2 --capture-image -f /store_00010001 -p capt0000.jpg
+
+       Or use the timelapse capture of gphoto2:
+	   gphoto2 --capture-image -F <total frames> -I <seconds interval>
+
+       Or write your own client using libgphoto2...
+
+
+     - Support of MTP devices has been greatly enhanced.
+
+       + Creative Zen devices now work.
+       + iRiver devices work, but have some protocol subtleties / flaws.
+
+       + Object Property (Meta Data) support now works in a basic way.
+
+	   GP_FILE_TYPE_METADATA type get and put can be used to retrieve
+	   and set meta data for files.
+
+	   get: Returns all available properties and their contents.
+
+	   put: Set the properties found in the file to the specified content.
+		The non-listed are untouched.
+
+	   The metadata looks like:
+		   <Artist>Elvis Presley</Artist>
+
+	   gphoto2 -f /store_00010001/Folder... --get-metadata file.mp3 --stdout > meta_file.mp3
+	   ... edit meta_file.mp3 ...
+	   gphoto2 -f /store_00010001/Folder... --upload-metadata meta_file.mp3
+
+	   gphoto2 --get-all-metadata	... retrieves metadata of all files, with meta_ prefix.
+
+       - Better --summary output, listing also Storage Devices and Device abilities.
+
+       - Lots of new device ids.
