Announcement: libgphoto2 2.5.13 release

[Marcus Meissner-4]

Hi folks!

I am happy to announce the libgphoto2 2.5.13 release!

Major features / bugfixes:

- Downloading of files from Apple iOS 10.2 and newer devices was broken, this has been fixed.

  (The PTP storage appears delayed after opening the session and we did not handle that before.)


- Pentax K support revitalized

  I have imported the pktriggercord codebase into the pentax driver and polished it up.

  I also bought a Pentax K10D for debugging, but also thank Ray Wells for lots of
  testing with his Pentax.

  If your Pentax K camera is not yet listed here, please report it / add it ... It will probably work now.


- Sony Alpha Live View support

  For almost all newer Sony Alphas (e.g. 5100 etc.)


Not in this release, but in the near future:
- Canon EOS M support. I bought a Canon EOS M 10 so I can work on this.


Thanks again for all contributors, for supplying patches, filing github issues, testing and bugreports!

And a special thanks to Google for awarding me 250 US$ in their "Opensource Peer Bonus" program.
(I used it to buy the new cameras ;)

Ciao, Marcus
