          Packit 994f1a
          Packit 994f1a
            Packit 994f1a
            Packit 994f1a
          • libtiff/{tif_color.c, tif_getimage.c, tiffio.h}: Added support
          • Packit 994f1a
            for ReferenceBlackWhite tag handling when converted from YCbCr color space as
            Packit 994f1a
            per bug 120.
            Packit 994f1a
            Packit 994f1a
          • libtiff/{tif_getimage.c, tif_aux.c}: Read WhitePoint tag from the
          • Packit 994f1a
            file and properly use it for CIE Lab 1976 to RGB transform.
            Packit 994f1a
            Packit 994f1a
          • libtiff/{tif_getimage.c, tiffio.h}: Finally resolved problems with
          • Packit 994f1a
            orientation handling. TIFFRGBAImage interface now properly supports all
            Packit 994f1a
            possible orientations, i.e. images will be flipped both in horizontal and
            Packit 994f1a
            vertical directions if required. 'Known bugs' section now removed from the
            Packit 994f1a
            appropriate manual pages.
            Packit 994f1a
            Packit 994f1a
          • libtiff/tif_luv.c: Fixed bug in 48-bit to 24-bit conversion routine,
          • Packit 994f1a
            reported by Antonio Scuri.
            Packit 994f1a
            Packit 994f1a
          • libtiff/{tiffio.h, tif_codec.c}: Added new function
          • Packit 994f1a
            TIFFIsCODECConfigured(), suggested by Ross Finlayson.
            Packit 994f1a
            Packit 994f1a
          • libtiff/tif_ojpeg.c: TIFFVGetField() function now can properly extract
          • Packit 994f1a
            the fields from the OJPEG files. Patch supplied by Ross	Finlayson.
            Packit 994f1a
            Packit 994f1a
          • libtiff/tif_dir.h: _TIFFFindOrRegisterdInfo declaration replaced
          • Packit 994f1a
            with _TIFFFindOrRegisterFieldInfo as reported by Ross Finlayson.
            Packit 994f1a
            Packit 994f1a
          • libtiff/tif_dirinfo.c: Implemented binary search in _TIFFMergeFieldInfo().
          • Packit 994f1a
            Patch supplied by Ross Finlayson.
            Packit 994f1a
            Packit 994f1a
          • tif_dirread.c: do not mark all anonymously defined tags to be IGNOREd (as
          • Packit 994f1a
            it was done in 3.6.0).
            Packit 994f1a
            Packit 994f1a
          • libtiff/{tiff.h, tif_dirinfo.c}: Added support for IFD (13) datatype,
          • Packit 994f1a
            intruduced in "Adobe PageMaker TIFF Technical Notes".
            Packit 994f1a
            Packit 994f1a
          • libtiff/{tif_color.c, tif_getimage.c, tiffio.h}: New color space
          • Packit 994f1a
            conversion code: CIE L*a*b* 1976 images now supported by the TIFFRGBAImage
            Packit 994f1a
            interface. YCbCr to RGB conversion code also moved there and now has
            Packit 994f1a
            publicly available interface. These
            Packit 994f1a
            routines currently used in TIFFRGBAImage interface only and not supported in
            Packit 994f1a
            other libtiff tools yet. So if you want, for example, to convert CIE Lab image
            Packit 994f1a
            into PostScript file you should do it in two steps: chnge colorspace to RGB
            Packit 994f1a
            using tiff2rgba utility abd then process
            Packit 994f1a
            it with the tiff2ps.
            Packit 994f1a
            Packit 994f1a
          • libtiff/tif_tile.c: Remove spurious use of "s" (sample) in the
          • Packit 994f1a
            planarconfig_contig case in TIFFComputeTile() as per bug 387
            Packit 994f1a
            Packit 994f1a
          • libtiff/tiffiop.h: New macros: TIFFmax and TIFFmin.
          • Packit 994f1a
            Packit 994f1a
          • libtiff/{tiffio.h, tif_strip.c}: Added TIFFRawStripSize() function
          • Packit 994f1a
            as suggested by Chris Hanson.
            Packit 994f1a
            Packit 994f1a
          • libtiff/{tif_lzw.c, tif_fax3.c}: Proper support for update mode
