- http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562</a>.
- <li> libtiff/tif_write.c: Allow in-place updating of the compressed
- images (don't work properly with all codecs). For details see GDAL bug

- <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483">
- http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483</a>.
- We need more work on fax codec to support update mode.
- <li> libtiff/tiff.h: Fixed tag definitions for TIFFTAG_YCLIPPATHUNITS
- and TIFFTAG_INDEXED as per bug
- <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=475">

- <li> libtiff/tif_dirwrite.c: Fixed handling of writable ASCII tags
- that are field_passcount=TRUE properly. Arguably anonymous custom
- tags should be declared as passcount=FALSE, but I don't want to change
- that without a careful review.
- <li> libtiff/tif_write.c: Fixed reporting size of the buffer in case
- of stripped image in TIFFWriteBufferSetup(). As per bug
- <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=460">
