DCRAW - Have you articulated any Plan for Keeping BYE/BYN Updated regarding DCRAW ??

[s3igell]

As DCRAW is one of the more visible Externally-sourced Components on which BYE/BYN is Dependent, and as DCRAW has its own Release Cycle, have you devised a Plan for Updates of DCRAW made available Out-of-Cycle from BYE or BYN Releases ??

 

For that matter, do you perform your own Builds of DCRAW ??

Yes, DCRaw can be updated manually by dropping a new version of DCRaw.exe in the install folder.  I did not build DCRaw this time around but YES, I plan on building it in future release to make sure I always get the latest.  I may automate this in future release but for now it is part of the BYE/BYN release cycle.

 

Finally, I still a fallback in BYE/BYN to load images in case DCRaw fails.  This is automatic and transparent to the user.

 

Thanks,
