[toolbox] XMP Toolkit Version 4.0 Prerelease 1

[Simon S. <si...@si...>]

This could be of interest to some of you:

Adobe has released Prerelease 1 of XMP Toolkit Version 4.0.
"Version 4.0 of the Adobe XMP Toolkit is planned to significantly =20
extend the capabilities of the current SDK by adding an often-=20
requested feature: the ability to easily find, add, and update XMP in =20=

popular image, document, and video file formats. As such, Version 4.0 =20=

will contain two distinct components:
The XMP Core: a component for parsing, manipulating, and serializing =20
XMP data. This component was historically called the "XMP Toolkit" =20
because it was the only component in the toolkit. It will henceforth =20
be called the XMP Core, whereas the XMP Toolkit refers to the entire =20
SDK.
The XMP File Handler: a component for reading, rewriting, and =20
injecting serialized XMP into popular image, document, and video file =20=

formats. The XMP File Manager can be thought of as a "file I/O" =20
component for reading and writing the XMP that is manipulated by the =20
XMP Core."

"The download contains projects and makefiles for building the XMP =20
Manager on Macintosh and Windows. The Macintosh build is an Xcode 2.2 =20=

project, this will create a universal binary for both PowerPC and =20
Intel processors. "

"I have never been certain that the moral of the Icarus myth is, as =20
is generally accepted, 'don't fly too high', or whether it might also =20=

be thought of as: 'forget about the wax and feathers, and do a better =20=

job on the wings." Stanley Kubrick
