Full Changelog: v0.14.0...v0.14.1

🌟 Highlights

• 🚀 Performance Boosts:
  Enjoy massive speed improvements across the board, including faster native EXIF, GoPro, CAMM, and Blackvue video processing. Uploads and processing are now significantly more responsive, making large dataset handling smoother than ever.

• 🛠️ Built-in ExifTool Fallback:
  Mapillary Tools now uses its optimized native parsers for EXIF, CAMM, GoPro, and related metadata by default. If native parsing fails, it seamlessly falls back to using the ExifTool installed on your system, ensuring robust and reliable metadata extraction for all your files.

• 📤 File-by-File Upload:
  Images are now uploaded individually, eliminating the need to create zip archives before uploading. This approach greatly reduces intermediate disk usage, speeds up the upload process, and enhances reliability—especially with large or interrupted uploads.

🚀 Features

• Improved Authentication: Enhanced authentication flow for a smoother user experience. (#733)
• Image Upload Flexibility: Added support for uploading images file by file. (#753)
• More Upload Options: Introduced additional upload options for debugging/development purpose. (#764)
• Export as GPX: Now you can export descriptions as GPX files for visualization (just name your desc file as .gpx, i.e. --desc_path=foo.gpx). (#759)
