  40. <A NAME="highlights"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>M</FONT>AJOR CHANGES:</B></A>
  41. <ul>
  42. <li> New utility <a href="./man/tiff2pdf.1.html">tiff2pdf</a>
  43. for converting TIFF images directly into PDF.
  44. <li> New <a href="./man/TIFFcolor.3t.html">color conversion module</a>.
  45. <li> Full support for Orientation tag in
  46. <a href="./man/TIFFReadRGBAImage.3t.html">TIFFRGBAImage</a> interface.
  47. <li> Many bugs fixed.
  48. </ul>
  49. <P><HR WIDTH=65% ALIGN=left>
  50. <!--------------------------------------------------------------------------->
  51. <A NAME="configure"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN THE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:</B></A>
  52. <UL>
  53. <li> libtiff/makefile.vc, tools/makefile.vc: Support for IJG JPEG library.
  54. <li> Makefile.in: Add an absolute path to the test_pics.sh call.
  55. <li> Makefile.in: Add an absolute path to the test_pics.sh call.
  56. <li> libtiff/tiffcomp.h: #define _BSDTYPES_DEFINED when defining BSD typedefs.
  57. <li> configure, libtiff/{Makefile.in, mkversion.c}: Relative buildings fixed.
  58. <li> Makefile.in: Add an absolute path to the test_pics.sh call.
  59. </UL>
  60. <P><HR WIDTH=65% ALIGN=left>
  61. <!--------------------------------------------------------------------------->
  62. <A NAME="libtiff"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN LIBTIFF:</B></A>
  63. <UL>
  64. <li> libtiff/{tif_color.c, tif_getimage.c, tiffio.h}: Added support
  65. for ReferenceBlackWhite tag handling when converted from YCbCr color space as
  66. per bug 120.
  67. <li> libtiff/{tif_getimage.c, tif_aux.c}: Read WhitePoint tag from the
  68. file and properly use it for CIE Lab 1976 to RGB transform.
  69. <li> libtiff/{tif_getimage.c, tiffio.h}: Finally resolved problems with
  70. orientation handling. TIFFRGBAImage interface now properly supports all
  71. possible orientations, i.e. images will be flipped both in horizontal and
  72. vertical directions if required. 'Known bugs' section now removed from the
  73. appropriate manual pages.
  74. <li> libtiff/tif_luv.c: Fixed bug in 48-bit to 24-bit conversion routine,
  75. reported by Antonio Scuri.
  76. <li> libtiff/{tiffio.h, tif_codec.c}: Added new function
  77. TIFFIsCODECConfigured(), suggested by Ross Finlayson.
  78. <li> libtiff/tif_ojpeg.c: TIFFVGetField() function now can properly extract
  79. the fields from the OJPEG files. Patch supplied by Ross Finlayson.
  80. <li> libtiff/tif_dir.h: _TIFFFindOrRegisterdInfo declaration replaced
  81. with _TIFFFindOrRegisterFieldInfo as reported by Ross Finlayson.
  82. <li> libtiff/tif_dirinfo.c: Implemented binary search in _TIFFMergeFieldInfo().
  83. Patch supplied by Ross Finlayson.
  84. <li> tif_dirread.c: do not mark all anonymously defined tags to be IGNOREd (as
  85. it was done in 3.6.0).
  86. <li> libtiff/{tiff.h, tif_dirinfo.c}: Added support for IFD (13) datatype,
  87. intruduced in "Adobe PageMaker TIFF Technical Notes".
  88. <li> libtiff/{tif_color.c, tif_getimage.c, tiffio.h}: New color space
  89. conversion code: CIE L*a*b* 1976 images now supported by the TIFFRGBAImage
  90. interface. YCbCr to RGB conversion code also moved there and now has
  91. <a href="./man/TIFFcolor.3t.html">publicly available interface</a>. These
  92. routines currently used in TIFFRGBAImage interface only and not supported in
  93. other libtiff tools yet. So if you want, for example, to convert CIE Lab image
  94. into PostScript file you should do it in two steps: chnge colorspace to RGB
  95. using <a href="./man/tiff2rgba.1.html">tiff2rgba</a> utility abd then process
  96. it with the <a href="./man/tiff2ps.1.html">tiff2ps</a>.
  97. <li> libtiff/tif_tile.c: Remove spurious use of "s" (sample) in the
  98. planarconfig_contig case in TIFFComputeTile() as per bug 387
  99. <li> libtiff/tiffiop.h: New macros: TIFFmax and TIFFmin.
  100. <li> libtiff/{tiffio.h, tif_strip.c}: Added TIFFRawStripSize() function
  101. as suggested by Chris Hanson.
  102. <li> libtiff/{tif_lzw.c, tif_fax3.c}: Proper support for update mode
  103. as per bug 424.

  108. <UL>
  109. <li> <a href=./man/tiff2pdf.1.html>tiff2pdf</a>: New tool, written by
  110. Ross Finlayson, to directly convert TIFF files to PDF.
  111. <li> <a href=./man/tiffgt.1.html>tiffgt</a>: Unmaintained and platform
  112. dependent sgigt utility removed and replaced with the completely rewritten
  113. portable <a href=./man/tiffgt.1.html>tiffgt</a> tool (depend on OpenGL and
  114. GLUT). This tool will not build by default.
  115. <li> <a href=./man/ras2tiff.1.html>ras2tiff</a>: Properly determine
  116. SUN Rasterfiles with the reverse byte order (it is reported by the magic
  117. header field). Problem reported by Andreas Wiesmann.
  118. <li> <a href=./man/raw2tiff.1.html>raw2tiff</a>: Implemented image size
  119. guessing using correlation coefficient calculation between two neighbour
  120. lines.
