[packman] [PM] Jalbum 8.7.2-0.pm.1.1 (openSUSE 11.2/i586)

Fri Apr 2 20:01:21 CEST 2010

Hi. There are some compatibility issues with the old and current version of metadata-extractor. In order to achieve good GPS coordinate precision, I've updated the current version of metadata-extractor to use 64 bit integers in the Rational class instead of 32 bit integers.

Regards
/David
