- 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>
- <LI><A HREF="#libtiff">Changes in libtiff</A>
- <LI><A HREF="#tools">Changes in the tools</A>

- <P><HR WIDTH=65% ALIGN=right>
- <A NAME="configure"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN THE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:</B></A>
- <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>
- <P><HR WIDTH=65% ALIGN=right>
- <A NAME="libtiff"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN LIBTIFF:</B></A>
- <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
- </UL>
- <P><HR WIDTH=65% ALIGN=right>
- <A NAME="tools"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN THE TOOLS:</B></A>
- <UL>
- <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
