Phil Harvey has released version 12.87 of ExifTool. ExifTool is a free and cross-platform program that allows managing and editing the metadata of a large number of files. It works from the command line, but there are third party solutions available that allow it to be used with a graphical user interface as well. New versions are released regularly, but most releases are made available under the beta banner. This update is also referred to as a development version; the latest stable release is version 12.76. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:
