|

|
||||
<UL>
|
||||
<li> libtiff/libtiff.def: Brent Roman submitted new version adding
|
||||
serveral missing entry points. Also add a few other entry points
|
||||
later.
|
||||
|
||||
<li> configure, Makefile.in, etc: added support for OPTIMIZER being
|
||||
set from config.site.
|
||||
<li> config.guess: updated wholesale to an FSF version apparently
|
||||
from 1998 (as opposed to 1994). This is mainly inspired by
|
||||
providing for MacOS X support.
|
||||
|
||||
<li> configure/config.site: modified to check if -lm is needed for
|
||||
MACHDEPLIBS if not supplied by config.site. Needed for Darwin.
|
||||
<li> libtiff/tiff.h: Applied hac to try and resolve the problem
|
||||
with the inttypes.h include file on AIX. (Bug 39)
|
||||
|
||||
<li> configure, *Makefile.in: Various changes to improve configuration
|
||||
for HP/UX specifically, and also in general. (Bug 40) They include:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li> Try to handle /usr/bin/sh instead of /bin/sh where necessary.
|
||||
<li> Upgrade to HP/UX 10.x+ compiler, linker and dso options.
|
||||
<li> Fixed mmap() test to avoid MMAP_FIXED ... it isn't available on HP
|
||||
<li> Use -${MAKEFLAGS} in sub makes from makefiles.
|
||||
<li> Fixed SCRIPT_SH/SHELL handling.
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<li> configure: Changes for DSO generation on AIX provided by
|
||||
John Marquart <jomarqua@indiana.edu>.
|
||||
|
||||
<li> configure, libtiff/Makefile.in: Modified to build DSOs properly
|
||||
on Darwin thanks to Robert Krajewski (rpk@alum.mit.edu) and
|
||||
Keisuke Fujii (fujiik@jlcuxf.kek.jp).
|
||||
|
||||
<li> configure, libtiff/Makefile.in: applied OpenBSD patches as per bug 61.
|
||||
|
||||
<li> Makefile.in: added DESTDIR support as per bug 60.
|
||||
|
||||
<li> libtiff/tif_jpeg.c: Define HAVE_BOOLEAN on windows if RPCNDR.H
|
||||
has been included.
|
||||
<li> man/Makefile.in: add TIFFClientOpen link as per debian submitted
|
||||
bug 66.
|
||||
<li> libtiff/Makefile.in: Fixed @DSOSUB_VERSION to be @DSOSUF_VERSION@
|
||||
in two places.

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<UL>
|
||||
<li> tif_fax3.c: keep rw_mode flag internal to fax3 state to remember
|
||||
whether we are encoding or decoding. This is to ensure graceful
|
||||
recovery if TIFFClientOpen() discovers an attempt to open a compressed
|
||||
file for "r+" access, and subsequently close it, as it resets the
|
||||
tif_mode flag to O_RDONLY in this case to avoid writes, confusing the
|
||||
compressor's concept of whether it is in encode or decode mode.
|
||||
<li> tif_luv.c/tiff.h/tiffio.h:
|
||||
New version of TIFF LogLuv (SGILOG) modules contributed by Greg Ward
|
||||
(greg@shutterfly.com). He writes:
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li> I improved the gamut-mapping function in tif_luv.c for imaginary
|
||||
colors, because some images were being super-saturated on the input
|
||||
side and this resulted in some strange color shifts in the output.
|
||||
|
||||
<li> I added a psuedotag in tiff.h to control random dithering during
|
||||
LogLuv encoding. This is turned off by default for 32-bit LogLuv and
|
||||
on for 24-bit LogLuv output. Dithering improves the average color
|
||||
accuracy over the image.
|
||||
|
||||
<li> I added a #define for LOG_LUV_PUBLIC, which is enabled by default in
|
||||
tiffio.h, to expose internal routines for converting between LogLuv and
|
||||
XYZ coordinates. This is helpful for writing more efficient,
|
||||
specialized conversion routines, especially for reading LogLuv files.
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<li> libtiff/tif_dirinfo.c: don't declare tiffFieldInfo static on VMS.
|
||||
|
||||
<li> Added TIFFTAG_COPYRIGHT support.
|
||||
<li> tif_getimage.c: Added support for 16bit minisblack/miniswhite
|
||||
images in RGBA interface.
|
||||
<li> libtiff/tif_dirinfo.c: removed duplicate TIFFTAG_PHOTOSHOP as per
|
||||
bug 44.
|
||||
<li> libtiff/tif_dirwrite.c: Added support for TIFF_VARIABLE2 in the
|
||||
case of writing TIFF_BYTE/TIFF_SBYTE fields as per bug 43.
|
||||
|
||||
<li> libtiff/tif_dirinfo.c: Modified the TIFF_BYTE definition for
|
||||
TIFFTAG_PHOTOSHOP to use a writecount of TIFF_VARIABLE2 (-3) to
|
||||
force use of uint32 counts instead of short counts.
|
||||
|
||||
<li> libtiff/tif_dirinfo.c: moved pixar and copyright flags to
|
||||
ensure everything is in order.
|
||||
|
||||
<li> Integrated experimental OJPEG support from Scott Marovich of HP.
|
||||
|
||||
<li> libtiff/tif_open.c: Seek back to zero after failed read,
|
||||
before writing header.
|
||||
|
||||
<li> libtiff/tiff.h, libtiff/tif_fax3.c: added check for __LP64__
|
||||
when checking for 64 bit architectures as per bugzilla bug 67.
|
||||
<li> libtiff/tif_getimage.c: Use memmove() instead of TIFFmemcpy()
|
||||
in TIFFReadRGBATile() to avoid issues in cases of overlapping
|
||||
buffers. See Bug 69 in Bugzilla.
|
||||
<li> libtiff/tif_getimage.c: Don't complain for CMYK (separated)
|
||||
images with more than four samples per pixel as per bug 73.
|
||||
|
||||
<li> libtiff/tif_getimage.c: relax handling of contig case where
|
||||
there are extra samples that are supposed to be ignored as per bug 75. This
|
||||
should now work for 8bit greyscale or palletted images.
|
||||
|
||||
<li> libtiff/tif_packbits.c: fixed memory overrun error as per bug 77.
|
||||
|
||||
<li> libtiff/tif_getimage.c: Fixed problem with reading strips or
|
||||
tiles that don't start on a tile boundary. Fix contributed by
|
||||
Josep Vallverdu (from HP), and further described in bug 47.
|
||||
|
||||
<li> libtif/tif_fax3.c: Removed #ifdef PURIFY logic, and modified to
|
||||
always use the "safe" version, even if there is a very slight
|
||||
cost in performance as per bug 54.
|
||||
<li> libtiff/tif_lzw.c: added dummy LZWSetupEncode() to report an
|
||||
error about LZW not being available.
|
||||
|
||||
<li> libtiff/tif_dir.c: propagate failure to initialize compression
|
||||
back from TIFFSetField() as an error status, so applications can
|
||||
detect failure.
|
||||
|
||||
<li> libtiff/tif_lzw.c: Avoid MS VC++ 5.0 optimization bug as per bug 78.
|
||||
|
||||
<li> libtiff/tif_dirwrite.c: added TIFFRewriteDirectory() function.
|
||||
Updated TIFFWriteDirectory man page to include TIFFRewriteDirectory.
|
||||
|
||||
<li> libtiff/tiff.h: I have created COMPRESSION_CCITT_T4,
|
||||
COMPRESSION_CCITT_T6, TIFFTAG_T4OPTIONS and TIFFTAG_T6OPTIONS aliases
|
||||
in keeping with TIFF 6.0 standard in tiff.h as per bug 83.
|
||||
|
||||
<li> Added PHOTOMETRIC_ITULAB as per bug 90.
|
||||

<A NAME="tools"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN THE TOOLS:</B></A>
|
||||
|
||||
<UL>
|
||||
<li> Brent Roman contributed updated tiffcp utility (and tiffcp.1)
|
||||
with support for extracting subimages with the ,n syntax, and also
|
||||
adding the -b bias removal flag.
|
||||
<li> tiff2ps.c/tiff2ps.1: Substantial changes to tiff2ps by
|
||||
Bruce A. Mallett, including a faster encoder, fixes for level
|
||||
2 PostScript, and support for the imagemask operator.
|
||||
<li> fax2ps.c: Helge (libtiff at oldach.net) submitted fix
|
||||
that corrects behaviour for non-Letter paper
|
||||
sizes. (Bug 35) It fixes two problems:
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
Without scaling (-S) the fax is now centered on the page size specified
|
||||
with -H and/or -W. Before, fax2ps was using an obscure and practially
|
||||
useless algorithm to allocate the image relative to Letter sized paper
|
||||
which sometime sled to useless whitespace on the paper, while at the
|
||||
same time cutting of the faxes printable area at the opposite border.
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
|
||||
Second, scaling now preserves aspect ratio, which makes unusual faxes
|
||||
(in particular short ones) print properly.
|
||||
|
||||
<li> thumbnail.c: changed default output compression
|
||||
to packbits from LZW since LZW isn't generally available.
|
||||
<li> tiff2rgba.c: added -n flag to avoid emitting alpha component. Also added
|
||||
a man page for tiff2rgba.
|
||||
|
||||
<li> tiffcmp.c: Fixed multi samples per pixel support for ContigCompare
|
||||
as per bug 53.
|
||||
Updated bug section of tiffcmp.1 to note tiled file issues.
|
||||
|
||||
<li> libtiff/tif_getimage.c: Fixed so that failure is properly
|
||||
reported by gtTileContig, gtStripContig, gtTileSeparate and
|
||||
gtStripSeparate as per bug 51.

<A NAME="lzwkit"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN THE LZW COMPRESSION KIT:</B></A>
|

<UL>
|

<LI> Rewrote lzw patching process so that is required to enable full
|
||||
LZW support is to drop the tif_lzw.c from the
|
||||
libtiff-lzw-compression-kit over the one in the libtiff directory.
|
||||
|
||||
<LI> Some changes were made to make recovery from failure to
|
||||
initialize the LZW compressor more graceful.
|
||||
|
||||
<LI> Note that as distributed libtiff support LZW decompression, but
|
||||
not LZW compression.
