      Packit 85355f
      Packit 85355f
        Packit 85355f
      • support was added for building the library as a DSO under HP-UX with
      • Packit 85355f
            the native C compiler
        Packit 85355f
      • tools are now built with explicit pathnames for the DSO under IRIX,
      • Packit 85355f
            Solaris, and Linux
        Packit 85355f
      • DSO configuration support for Linux was changed to require that
      • Packit 85355f
            libc.so only be readable (not executable)

        Packit 85355f
          Packit 85355f
        • support was add for ICC: <TT>NumberOfInks</TT>, and <TT>ICCProfile</TT>
        • Packit 85355f
        • a memory leak caused by doing <TT>TIFFSetDirectory(0)</TT> was fixed
        • Packit 85355f
        • a bug was fixed whereby certain multi-directory files were not
        • Packit 85355f
              properly handled when accessed by mapping the data into memory 
          Packit 85355f
        • the strip chopping support is now always compiled
        • Packit 85355f
              into the library with the default usage controlled by a
          Packit 85355f
              <TT>STRIPCHOP_DEFAULT</TT> configuration parameter
          Packit 85355f
        • the strip chopping support no longer chops tiled images
        • Packit 85355f
        • all static strings are now const--for shared libraries
        • Packit 85355f
        • the logic for estimating the strip size of images without
        • Packit 85355f
              a <TT>StripByteCounts</TT> tag was improved by handling
          Packit 85355f
              <TT>PlanarContig</TT> images differently from <TT>PlanarSeparate</TT>
          Packit 85355f
        • a bug was fixed in the G3 codec when converting the Y resolution
        • Packit 85355f
              of data specified in metric units
          Packit 85355f
        • a bug was fixed in the G3/G4 decoder for data where lines terminate
        • Packit 85355f
              with a v0 code
          Packit 85355f
        • the <TT>TIFFRGBAImage</TT> support was changed to scale 16-bit colormap
        • Packit 85355f
              entries more conservatively to avoid problems with applications
          Packit 85355f
              that do not generate fully saturated pixel values
          Packit 85355f
        • the LZW decoder was changed to use a more conservative scheme when
        • Packit 85355f
              bounds checking the hash table array; this avoids pitfalls with
          Packit 85355f
              systems that load objects into memory in unusual locations
          Packit 85355f
        • a bug was fixed in <TT>TIFFPrintDirectory</TT>'s handling of the
        • Packit 85355f
              <TT>InkNames</TT> tag
          Packit 85355f
        • <TT>TIFFPrintDirectory</TT> now understands <TT>NumberOfInks</TT>
