Hi folks,

I have just released libgphoto2 and gphoto2 2.5.27.

Highlights:

- Fixed 4GB filesizes, reported correctly, also better download on Nikon Z
- Canon EOS support for new cameras improved, especially EOS M6 Mark 2, and EOS R5
- support liveviewsize for Canon EOS (using "output" / "liveviewsize") and Panasonic GX/GH
- Nikon Z bugfixes. e.g. regarding Movie capture
- lots of bugfixes as usual
- downloads now are also available as ".tar.xz" for size

A very special thanks to Marc Wetli of https://www.egoshooting.com/ for sponsoring
a Canon EOS M6 Mark2 to the project.

I also used paypal donation money to rent a Panasonic GC9 over a weekend for Panasonic
improvements.

Lots of thanks also to all other contributors!

Ciao, Marcus
