- <A NAME="highlights"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>M</FONT>AJOR CHANGES:</B></A>
- <ul>
- <li> New utility <a href="./man/tiff2pdf.1.html">tiff2pdf</a>
- for converting TIFF images directly into PDF.
- <li> New <a href="./man/TIFFcolor.3t.html">color conversion module</a>.
- <li> Full support for Orientation tag in
- <a href="./man/TIFFReadRGBAImage.3t.html">TIFFRGBAImage</a> interface.
- <li> Many bugs fixed.
- </ul>

- <!--------------------------------------------------------------------------->
- <A NAME="configure"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN THE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:</B></A>
- <UL>
- <li> libtiff/makefile.vc, tools/makefile.vc: Support for IJG JPEG library.
- <li> Makefile.in: Add an absolute path to the test_pics.sh call.
- <li> Makefile.in: Add an absolute path to the test_pics.sh call.
- <li> libtiff/tiffcomp.h: #define _BSDTYPES_DEFINED when defining BSD typedefs.
- <li> configure, libtiff/{Makefile.in, mkversion.c}: Relative buildings fixed.
- <li> Makefile.in: Add an absolute path to the test_pics.sh call.
- </UL>
- <P><HR WIDTH=65% ALIGN=left>
- <!--------------------------------------------------------------------------->
- <A NAME="libtiff"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN LIBTIFF:</B></A>
- <UL>
- <li> libtiff/{tif_color.c, tif_getimage.c, tiffio.h}: Added support
- for ReferenceBlackWhite tag handling when converted from YCbCr color space as
- per bug 120.
- <li> libtiff/{tif_getimage.c, tif_aux.c}: Read WhitePoint tag from the
- file and properly use it for CIE Lab 1976 to RGB transform.
- <li> libtiff/{tif_getimage.c, tiffio.h}: Finally resolved problems with
- orientation handling. TIFFRGBAImage interface now properly supports all
- possible orientations, i.e. images will be flipped both in horizontal and
- vertical directions if required. 'Known bugs' section now removed from the
- appropriate manual pages.
- <li> libtiff/tif_luv.c: Fixed bug in 48-bit to 24-bit conversion routine,
- reported by Antonio Scuri.
- <li> libtiff/{tiffio.h, tif_codec.c}: Added new function
- TIFFIsCODECConfigured(), suggested by Ross Finlayson.
- <li> libtiff/tif_ojpeg.c: TIFFVGetField() function now can properly extract
- the fields from the OJPEG files. Patch supplied by Ross Finlayson.
- <li> libtiff/tif_dir.h: _TIFFFindOrRegisterdInfo declaration replaced
- with _TIFFFindOrRegisterFieldInfo as reported by Ross Finlayson.
- <li> libtiff/tif_dirinfo.c: Implemented binary search in _TIFFMergeFieldInfo().
- Patch supplied by Ross Finlayson.
- <li> tif_dirread.c: do not mark all anonymously defined tags to be IGNOREd (as
- it was done in 3.6.0).
- <li> libtiff/{tiff.h, tif_dirinfo.c}: Added support for IFD (13) datatype,
- intruduced in "Adobe PageMaker TIFF Technical Notes".
- <li> libtiff/{tif_color.c, tif_getimage.c, tiffio.h}: New color space
- conversion code: CIE L*a*b* 1976 images now supported by the TIFFRGBAImage
- interface. YCbCr to RGB conversion code also moved there and now has
- <a href="./man/TIFFcolor.3t.html">publicly available interface</a>. These
- routines currently used in TIFFRGBAImage interface only and not supported in
- other libtiff tools yet. So if you want, for example, to convert CIE Lab image
- into PostScript file you should do it in two steps: chnge colorspace to RGB
- using <a href="./man/tiff2rgba.1.html">tiff2rgba</a> utility abd then process
- it with the <a href="./man/tiff2ps.1.html">tiff2ps</a>.
- <li> libtiff/tif_tile.c: Remove spurious use of "s" (sample) in the
- planarconfig_contig case in TIFFComputeTile() as per bug 387
- <li> libtiff/tiffiop.h: New macros: TIFFmax and TIFFmin.
- <li> libtiff/{tiffio.h, tif_strip.c}: Added TIFFRawStripSize() function
- as suggested by Chris Hanson.
- <li> libtiff/{tif_lzw.c, tif_fax3.c}: Proper support for update mode
- as per bug 424.

- <A NAME="tools"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN THE TOOLS:</B></A>
- <UL>
- <li> <a href=./man/tiff2pdf.1.html>tiff2pdf</a>: New tool, written by
- Ross Finlayson, to directly convert TIFF files to PDF.
- <li> <a href=./man/tiffgt.1.html>tiffgt</a>: Unmaintained and platform
- dependent sgigt utility removed and replaced with the completely rewritten
- portable <a href=./man/tiffgt.1.html>tiffgt</a> tool (depend on OpenGL and
- GLUT). This tool will not build by default.
- <li> <a href=./man/ras2tiff.1.html>ras2tiff</a>: Properly determine
- SUN Rasterfiles with the reverse byte order (it is reported by the magic
- header field). Problem reported by Andreas Wiesmann.
- <li> <a href=./man/raw2tiff.1.html>raw2tiff</a>: Implemented image size
- guessing using correlation coefficient calculation between two neighbour
- lines.
