|

|
|
<LI>support was added for registering new codecs external to the library
|
|
|
|
|
and for overriding the codecs that are builtin to the library
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>emulation support for the old <TT>DataType</TT> tag was improved
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>suppport was added for the <TT>SMinSampleValue</TT>
|
|
|
|
|
and <TT>SMaxSampleValue</TT> tags
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>the library no longer ignores <TT>TileWidth</TT> and <TT>TileLength</TT>
|
|
|
|
|
tags whose values are not a multiple of 16 (per the spec); this
|
|
|
|
|
permits old, improperly written, images to be read
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>the support for the <TT>Predictor</TT> tag was placed in a reusable
|
|
|
|
|
module so that it can be shared by multiple codecs
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>experimental compression support was added for the Deflate algorithm
|
|
|
|
|
(using the freely available zlib package)
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>a new routine, <TT>TIFFWriteBufferSetup</TT> was added a la the
|
|
|
|
|
routine <TT>TIFFReadBufferSetup</TT>
|
|
|
|
|
<LI>the DSO version of the library is now statically linked with the
|
|
|
|
|
JPEG and Deflate libraries; this means applications that link against
|
|
|
|
|
the DSO do not also need to link against these ancillary libraries
