- 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.
- The following information is located here:
- <UL>
- <LI><A HREF="#configure">Changes in the software configuration</A>

- <A NAME="configure"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN THE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:</B></A>
- <UL>
- <LI><B>configure</B> now captures significantly more information
- in the <B>config.log</B> file and provides more information when
- it is unable to setup a configuration
- <LI>support was added for building shared libraries on more systems:
- AIX, HPUX, Solaris, and Linux.
- <LI>a new configuration parameter <TT>LIBCOPTS</TT> was added for
- passing arguments to the C compiler to use when building only
- the library; this is part of the enhanced support for building
- shared libraries
- <LI>include files for optional packages that reside in <B>/usr/include</B>
- are now handled correctly
- <LI>build trees may now be configured using either relative or absolute
- pathnames to the source distribution
- <LI>several new configuration parameters were added, mainly for building
- shared libraries: <TT>DIST_MAJOR</TT>, <TT>DIST_MINOR</TT>,
- <TT>DIST_ALPHA</TT>, and <TT>DSOSUF_VERSION</TT>
- </UL>
- <P><HR WIDTH=65% ALIGN=right>
- <A NAME="libtiff"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN LIBTIFF:</B></A>
- <UL>
- <LI>the Deflate support has been revised: it requires version 0.99 of
- the zlib software distribution, <B>the output format has changed and
- is incompatible with previous versions of this library</B> (each
- strip now includes a header read and written by the zlib library)
- <LI>the codec name printed by the TIFFPrintDirectory routine is now
- taken from the codec table instead of from a builtin table; this means
- that application-defined codecs are handled correctly
- <LI>a new symbol was added that contains the library version number;
- this can be used to do a compile-time compatibility check of the
- library version
- </UL>
- <P><HR WIDTH=65% ALIGN=right>
- <A NAME="man"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN THE MANUAL PAGES:</B></A>
- <UL>
- <LI>the creation and installation of manual pages was redone; it now
- implements the documented ``configuration scheme''
- </UL>
