I'm happy to announce that pyexiv2 0.2.2, codename "Holiday", was released today.

This is a maintenance release that fixes two memory leaks, optimizes the use of the underlying libexiv2 (expect performance improvements), improves the API documentation, restores access to the image comments (was a regression from the 0.1 series) and adds an optional parameter to preserve timestamps when writing metadata.

The source tarball and a Windows installer (compiled and tested against Python 2.6.5) are already available, and packages for Ubuntu 10.04 will follow shortly in pyexiv2 developers' PPA.

As usual, feedback, suggestions and bug reports are welcome!
