we decided to release a snapshot of the current development as alpha

Out of curiosity, has there been any thought about implementing an "official"
method for a naive user (or the software they're using) to update their local database
between releases?
The official update path on Linux is to use the `lensfun-update-data`
script. On OSX it should work similarly as on Linux, however, I do not
own a Mac and therefore it is more or less untested from my side.
Windows is a bit troublesome. There is no Python by default...
BTW: Database folder locations are now well-defined on all platforms.
That might simplify the use of the update script once the new version
is out.
Do you have any recommendations or ideas regarding an improved update
method?
A complete list of changes can be found on the website:

If the calibrate.py script is now an official part of the project, you might
consider merging the pull request here:
https://github.com/lensfun/lensfun/pull/291
I didn't want to, since I don't consider myself the maintainer of the script,
and because I can't test it on Windows, but I've been using it successfully on
Linux.
I am not the maintainer of the calibration part, either. So I would
prefer to wait for feedback and merge from Thorsten.
