|

<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>
|
||
|
<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

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:

|
||
|
variable as per bug

||
|
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.
