|
|
<UL>
|
|
|
|
<LI>A great many issues discovered by fuzzers (via oss-fuzz and other reports) have been addressed.</LI>
|
|
|
|
<LI>EXIF 2.32 and GPS tags and functionality have been upgraded:
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>Existing EXIF field definition of tags are upgraded to EXIF version 2.3.2</LI>
|
|
<LI>EXIF-GPS structure, tags and access functions are added as special CustomDirectory (like it was done for EXIF).</LI>
|
|
<LI>Reading error for FileSource and SceneType tags corrected.</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
<LI>Make TIFFTAG_CFAPATTERN variable count.</LI>
|
|
|
|
<LI>Cmake configuration fixes for big-endian targets.</LI>
|
|
|
|
<LI><P>Added support for optional building against libdeflate for
|
|
faster Zip/Deflate compression/decompression.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>We now have 2 kinds of builds with the Zip/Deflate codec:</P>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>zlib only</LI>
|
|
<LI>zlib + libdeflate</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
<P>Speed improvements in the 35%-50% range can be expected when libdeflate is used.
|
|
Compression level up to 12 is now supported (capped to 9 when zlib is used).
|
|
Still requires zlib for situations where libdeflate cannot be used (that
|
|
is for scanline access, since libdeflate has no streaming mode)</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>Pseudo-tag TIFFTAG_DEFLATE_SUBCODEC=DEFLATE_SUBCODEC_ZLIB/DEFLATE_SUBCODEC_LIBDEFLATE
|
|
is added to control which subcodec (zlib or libdeflate) should be used (it defaults
|
|
of course to libdeflate, when it is available).
|
|
This is mostly aimed at being used on the writing side, to be able to reproduce
|
|
output of previous libtiff versions at a binary level, in situations where this would
|
|
be really needed. Or as a safety belt in case there would be unforeseen issues
|
|
with using libdeflate.
|
|
It can be used to know when libdeflate is available at runtime (DEFLATE_SUBCODEC_LIBDEFLATE
|
|
will be the default value in that situation).</P>
|
|
<P>Of course, deflate codestreams produced by libdeflate can be read by zlib, and vice-versa.</P>
