Version 1.99.x is based on +Adobe XMP SDK 4.1.1 and released under a BSD-style license like +Adobe's. + +The Adobe Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) is a standard for +processing and storing standardized and proprietary metadata, +created by Adobe Systems Inc.. + +XMP standardizes the definition, creation, and processing of +extensible metadata. Serialized XMP can be embedded into a +significant number of popular file formats, without breaking +their readability by non-XMP-aware applications. Embedding +metadata ("the truth is in the file") avoids many problems +that occur when metadata is stored separately. XMP is used +in PDF, photography and photo editing applications. + +The API is C based and means to be used from any language and +be easier to maintain ABI stability. + +The overall changes include: + +* STABLE C API/ABI for the library, instead of a C++ template + based version. +* GNU friendly build system based on automake. +* Code changes for UN*X systems compatibility. +* Architecture support for 64-bits (x86_64) and others. +* Test suite. + +exempi requires the boost library. A buildscript is available +at slackbuilds.org |
