This document describes the changes made to the software between the
|
||
|
|
<I>previous</I> and <I>current</I> versions (see above).

|
If you don't find something listed here, then it was not done in this
|
||
|
|
timeframe, or it was not considered important enough to be mentioned.

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<UL>
|
||
|
|
<LI>support was added for building the library as a DSO under HP-UX with
|
||
|
|
the native C compiler
|
||
|
|
<LI>tools are now built with explicit pathnames for the DSO under IRIX,
|
||
|
|
Solaris, and Linux
|
||
|
|
<LI>DSO configuration support for Linux was changed to require that
|
||
|
|
<B>libc.so</B> only be readable (not executable)
|
||
|

|

|
|
|
||
|
|
<UL>
|
||
|
|
<LI>support was add for ICC: <TT>NumberOfInks</TT>, and <TT>ICCProfile</TT>
|
||
|
|
<LI>a memory leak caused by doing <TT>TIFFSetDirectory(0)</TT> was fixed
|
||
|
|
<LI>a bug was fixed whereby certain multi-directory files were not
|
||
|
|
properly handled when accessed by mapping the data into memory
|
||
|
|
<LI>the strip chopping support is now always compiled
|
||
|
|
into the library with the default usage controlled by a
|
||
|
|
<TT>STRIPCHOP_DEFAULT</TT> configuration parameter
|
||
|
|
<LI>the strip chopping support no longer chops tiled images
|
||
|
|
<LI>all static strings are now const--for shared libraries
|
||
|
|
<LI>the logic for estimating the strip size of images without
|
||
|
|
a <TT>StripByteCounts</TT> tag was improved by handling
|
||
|
|
<TT>PlanarContig</TT> images differently from <TT>PlanarSeparate</TT>
|
||
|
|
<LI>a bug was fixed in the G3 codec when converting the Y resolution
|
||
|
|
of data specified in metric units
|
||
|
|
<LI>a bug was fixed in the G3/G4 decoder for data where lines terminate
|
||
|
|
with a v0 code
|
||
|
|
<LI>the <TT>TIFFRGBAImage</TT> support was changed to scale 16-bit colormap
|
||
|
|
entries more conservatively to avoid problems with applications
|
||
|
|
that do not generate fully saturated pixel values
|
||
|
|
<LI>the LZW decoder was changed to use a more conservative scheme when
|
||
|
|
bounds checking the hash table array; this avoids pitfalls with
|
||
|
|
systems that load objects into memory in unusual locations
|
||
|
|
<LI>a bug was fixed in <TT>TIFFPrintDirectory</TT>'s handling of the
|
||
|
|
<TT>InkNames</TT> tag
|
||
|
|
<LI><TT>TIFFPrintDirectory</TT> now understands <TT>NumberOfInks</TT>
|
||
|
|
and ICC-related tags
|
||
|
|
<LI>the routines for reading image data now provide more useful information
|
||
|
|
when a read error is encountered
|
||
|
|
<LI>support was added for compiling with Microsoft Visual C++ 4.0

|

|
|
<LI>a bug was fixed in <B>pal2rgb</B>'s colormap handling
|
||
|
|
<LI><B>tiff2ps</B> now includes John Wehle's changes for maintaining
|
||
|
|
the aspect ratio
|
||
|
|
of images when scaling and for honoring the deadzone on a page when
|
||
|
|
generating PostScript Level II
|
||
|
|
<LI><B>tiff2ps</B> does a better job guarding against the mishandling
|
||
|
|
of greyscale images
|
||
|
|
<LI><B>tiff2ps</B> now correctly converts X- and Y-resolution values
|
||
|
|
specified in metric units
|
||
|
|
<LI><B>tiffdump</B> has a new <TT>-m</TT> option to control the maximum
|
||
|
|
number of indirect
|
||
|
|
data values printed for a tag (by default 24)
|
||
|
|
<LI><B>tiffdump</B> understands several new tags
|
||
|
|
<LI><B>tiffdump</B> now shows any terminating null in ASCII strings
|
||
|
|
<LI><B>tiffinfo</B> now suppresses strip chopping when interpreting an image;
|
||
|
|
a new <TT>-z</TT> option has been added to enable strip chopping
