Hi folks,

I have just released 2.5.17 of both libgphoto2 and gphoto2.

Quite some Canon EOS related bugfixes ... Including hopefully solving the "Error 70"
error various people have seen on large EOS RAW downloads.

More changes below...

Thanks to all contributors, patch suppliers, bug reporters, translators
and users :)

Ciao, Marcus
