|
<LI>It is now possible to setup the software to build only the
|
|
|
|
|
library; configure reconizes this is the intent when the
|
|
|
|
|
<B>VERSION</B>, <B>tiff.alpha</B>, and <B>tif_version.c</B>
|
|
|
|
|
files are in the local directory (i.e. ``.'')
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>configure no longer tries to setup HTML materials
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>include file directories needed in building the library are now
|
|
|
|
|
specified with a <TT>DIRS_LIBINC</TT> config parameter
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>configure no longer checks for alternate compilers if <TT>CC</TT>
|
|
|
|
|
is set; if the specified compiler is not found or is not appropriate
|
|
|
|
|
the configuration procedure aborts
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>the <B>port.h</B> file generated by configure is now used only by
|
|
|
|
|
the library and as such as have been moved to the <B>libtiff</B>
|
|
|
|
|
directory
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>there is beginning support for building DSO's on systems other than IRIX
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>configure now verifies the JPEG and zlib directory pathnames by
|
|
|
|
|
checking for well-known include files in these directories
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>configure no longer creates the <B>dist</B> directory needed only
|
|
|
|
|
on SGI machines (for building SGI binary distributions)
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>a bug was fixed whereby configure would incorrectly set
|
|
|
|
|
<TT>ENVOPTS</TT> when building the software with gcc under AIX

<UL>
|

|
|
|
<LI>two new typedefs were added to <B>tiff.h</TT>: <TT>int8</TT>
|
|
|
|
|
and <TT>uint8</TT> for signed and unsigned 8-bit quantities,
|
|
|
|
|
respectively; these are currently used only by
|
|
|
|

programs in the <B>tools</B> directory
|

|
<LI>the <TT>BadFaxLines</TT>, <TT>CleanFaxData</TT>, and

<TT>ConsecutiveBadFaxLines</B> tags are now supported with
|
|
|
|
|
Group 4 compression
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>byte order is now correctly identified on 64-bit machines
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>a bug was fixed in the PackBits decoder where input data would
|
|
|
|
|
appear short when a no-op run was present
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>a bug was fixed in calculations with very wide strips
|
|
|
|
|
<LI><TT>TIFFWriteEncodedStrip</TT> and <TT>TIFFWriteRawStrip</TT>
|
|
|
|
|
were extended to support dynamically growing the number of
|
|
|
|
|
strips in an image (must set <TT>ImageLength</TT> prior to
|
|
|
|
|
making calls though)
|
|
|
|
|
<LI><TT>TIFFDefaultTileSize</TT> now rounds tile width and height
|
|
|
|
|
up to a multiple of 16 pixels, as required by the TIFF 6.0 specification
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>the file <B>version.h</B> is now built by a new <B>mkversion</B>
|
|
|
|
|
program; this was done for portability to non-UNIX systems
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>support was added for the Acorn RISC OS (from Peter Greenham)
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>the builtin codec table is now made <TT>const</TT> when compiling
|
|
|
|
|
under VMS so that <B>libtiff</B> can be built as a shared library
