      <FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN THE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:
      Packit 85355f
      Packit 85355f
        Packit 85355f
      • a <TT>-noninteractive</TT> flag was added to configure to
      • Packit 85355f
           control whether or not it prints and prompts for configuration information
        Packit 85355f
      • various typos and fixes were made in configure for the the
      • Packit 85355f
           library-only build support (this and other configure fixes from
        Packit 85355f
           Richard Mlynarik <mly@adoc.xerox.com>)
        Packit 85355f
      • bugs were fixed in the handling of pathnames supplied for external
      • Packit 85355f
           packages; e.g. <TT>DIR_JPEG</TT>
        Packit 85355f
      • the handling of <TT>SETMAKE</TT> is now done properly
      • Packit 85355f
      • the default prototype function declaration for <TT>pow</TT> was corrected
      • Packit 85355f
      • a bug was fixed in libtiff/Makefile.in that caused installation
      • Packit 85355f
           to fail on systems without DSO support

        <FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN LIBTIFF:
        Packit 85355f
        Packit 85355f
          Packit 85355f
        • Acorn RISC O/S support that was accidentally left out of the
        • Packit 85355f
             left out of the previous distribution is present (from Peter Greenham)
          Packit 85355f
        • complaints about unknown and/or unsupported codecs have been
        • Packit 85355f
             delayed until they are invoked; this permits applications to open
          Packit 85355f
             images and look at tags even if the image data is compressed with
          Packit 85355f
             an unknown/unsupported compression scheme
          Packit 85355f
        • bugs in handling unknown tags have been corrected; applications
        • Packit 85355f
             that use multiple codecs, each with codec-specific tags, no longer
          Packit 85355f
             generate confusing error messages
          Packit 85355f
        • a missing pseudo-tag definition in the CCITT G3 codec was fixed
        • Packit 85355f
             (this problem caused core dumps in the <TT>tiffcp</TT> program)
          Packit 85355f
        • pseudo-tags are now treated specially; they are always considered
        • Packit 85355f
             to be set (i.e. they do not use bits in the <TT>FIELD_*</TT> bit-vectors).
          Packit 85355f
        • the use of strip chopping can now be controlled on a per-file basis
        • Packit 85355f
             through a mode parameter supplied when opening a file (``C'' to
          Packit 85355f
             enable strip chopping and ``c'' to disable)
          Packit 85355f
        • two bugs were fixed in the writing of opposite-endian byte-order
        • Packit 85355f
             files
          Packit 85355f
        • support was added for three new fax-related tags registered to
        • Packit 85355f
             SGI: FaxRecvParams, FaxRecvTime, and FaxSubAddress
          Packit 85355f
        • the bit order of image data read and written can now be controlled
        • Packit 85355f
             on a per-file basis through a mode parameter supplied when opening
          Packit 85355f
             a file (``B'' to force MSB2LSB bit order, ``L'' for LSB2MSB bit
          Packit 85355f
             order, and ``H'' for the bit order of the native CPU)
          Packit 85355f
        • the byte order of image and tag data written to newly-created files
        • Packit 85355f
             can now be controlled on a per-file basis through a mode parameter
          Packit 85355f
             supplied when openening a file (``b'' to force Big-Endian byte order
          Packit 85355f
             and ``l'' to force Little-Endian byte order)
          Packit 85355f
        • the use memory-mapped files for images opened read-only can now
        • Packit 85355f
             be controlled on a per-file basis through a mode parameter supplied
          Packit 85355f
             when opening a file (``M'' to enable use of memory-mapped files
          Packit 85355f
             and ``m'' to disable use)
          Packit 85355f
        • the use of the <TT>WIN32</TT> define in tiffiop.h has
        • Packit 85355f
             been replaced by <TT>__WIN32__</TT>

            Packit 85355f
