  95. with the CCITT encoding modes as per bug
  96. <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483">
  97. http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483</a>.
  98. We need more work on fax codec to support update mode.
  99. <li> libtiff/tiff.h: Fixed tag definitions for TIFFTAG_YCLIPPATHUNITS
  100. and TIFFTAG_INDEXED as per bug
  101. <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=475">

  115. <li> libtiff/tif_dirwrite.c: Fixed handling of writable ASCII tags
  116. that are field_passcount=TRUE properly. Arguably anonymous custom
  117. tags should be declared as passcount=FALSE, but I don't want to change
  118. that without a careful review.
  119. <li> libtiff/tif_write.c: Fixed reporting size of the buffer in case
  120. of stripped image in TIFFWriteBufferSetup(). As per bug
