Hello, I got reply from Steve on the bugreport, forwarding that message here: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Steve King <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, Jul 9, 2008 at 21:51 Subject: Re: Bug#489931: dcraw: New version available To: Carl Fürstenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Carl, Although I have not done for a while, I would like to maintain dcraw. I tend to work in bursts! But I agree it is time I spent some time on getting it up to scratch. I am hoping to include the multi-language stuff for the next release, but this will require a little bit more work than I have currently needed for the previous versions. If you are able, I would like any raw images you can provide particularly from recent cameras. These will form part of my test suite to ensure the quality of the debian package. I don't intend to make these images available but if you are happy for me to pass them on, that would be easier. I am particularly interested in images with white, and clear colours that can be identified by their context within the photo. Thanks, -- Steve King -- /Carl Fürstenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
