<A NAME="highlights"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>M</FONT>AJOR CHANGES:</B></A> | |
<ul> | |
<li> LZW compression enabled by default. You don't need the separate | |
compression kit anymore. | |
<li> bmp2tiff: Added new utility to convert Windows BMP files | |
into TIFFs. | |
<li> The first attempt to implement a test suite. | |
</ul> | |

<A NAME="configure"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN THE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:</B></A> | |
<UL> | |
<li> Many portability fixes in the new autotooled build suite. | |

<A NAME="libtiff"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN LIBTIFF:</B></A> | |
<UL> | |
<li> libtiff/{tif_luv.c, tif_next.c, tif_thunder.c}: Several buffer | |
overruns fixed, as noted by Chris Evans. | |
<li> BSD data types (u_char, u_short, u_int, u_long) is no longer | |
used internally in the libtiff. Should result in simpler configuration | |
and better portability. | |
<li> libtiff/tiff.h: Fix column tagging. Reference current Adobe XMP | |
specification. Reference libtiff bug tracking system to submit | |
private tag additions. | |
<li> libtiff/tif_dirread.c: Don't reject to read tags of the | |
SamplesPerPixel size when the tag count is greater than number of | |
samples as per bug | |
<A HREF="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=576"> | |
http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=576</A>. | |
<li> libtiff/{tiffio.h, tif_open.c}: Applied patches from | |
Joris Van Damme to avoid requirement for tiffiop.h inclusion in | |
some applications. Look for details here: | |
<A HREF="http://www.asmail.be/msg0054799560.html"> | |
http://www.asmail.be/msg0054799560.html</A>. | |
<li> libtiff/{tiffiop.h, tif_dirinfo.c}: Fixed problem with the static | |
variable as per bug | |
<A HREF="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=593"> | |
http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=593</A>. | |
<li> libtiff/tif_lzw.c: LZW compression code is merged back from the | |
separate package. All libtiff tools are updated to not advertise an | |
abcence of LZW support. | |
<li> libtiff/tif_dir.c: Call TIFFError() instead of producing warnings | |
when setting custom tags by value. Reported by Eric Fieleke. | |
