+Fixed a couple errors and assuming maintenance of the library.
+
+2006-08-04 MoinMoin:ReimarBauer
+Added an optional parameter name to process_file and dump_IFD. Using this parameter the
+loop is breaked after that tag_name is processed.
+some PEP8 changes
+
+---------------------------- original notices -------------------------
+
+Contains code from "exifdump.py" originally written by Thierry Bousch
+<bousch@topo.math.u-psud.fr> and released into the public domain.
+
+Updated and turned into general-purpose library by Gene Cash
+
+Patch Contributors:
+* Simon J. Gerraty <sjg@crufty.net>
+s2n fix & orientation decode
+* John T. Riedl <riedl@cs.umn.edu>
+Added support for newer Nikon type 3 Makernote format for D70 and some
+other Nikon cameras.
+* Joerg Schaefer <schaeferj@gmx.net>
+Fixed subtle bug when faking an EXIF header, which affected maker notes
+using relative offsets, and a fix for Nikon D100.
+
+1999-08-21 TB  Last update by Thierry Bousch to his code.
+2002-01-17 CEC Discovered code on web.
+            Commented everything.
+            Made small code improvements.
+            Reformatted for readability.
+2002-01-19 CEC Added ability to read TIFFs and JFIF-format JPEGs.
+            Added ability to extract JPEG formatted thumbnail.
+            Added ability to read GPS IFD (not tested).
+            Converted IFD data structure to dictionaries indexed by
+            tag name.
+            Factored into library returning dictionary of IFDs plus
+            thumbnail, if any.
+2002-01-20 CEC Added MakerNote processing logic.
+            Added Olympus MakerNote.
+            Converted data structure to single-level dictionary, avoiding
+            tag name collisions by prefixing with IFD name.  This makes
+            it much easier to use.
+2002-01-23 CEC Trimmed nulls from end of string values.
+2002-01-25 CEC Discovered JPEG thumbnail in Olympus TIFF MakerNote.
+2002-01-26 CEC Added ability to extract TIFF thumbnails.
+            Added Nikon, Fujifilm, Casio MakerNotes.
+2003-11-30 CEC Fixed problem with canon_decode_tag() not creating an
+            IFD_Tag() object.
+2004-02-15 CEC Finally fixed bit shift warning by converting Y to 0L.
