      Packit 7838c8
      Packit 7838c8
        Packit 7838c8
      • support was added for configuring the Deflate codec
      • Packit 7838c8
      • support was added for the HTML documentation
      • Packit 7838c8
      • codecs that are not configured for inclusion in the library
      • Packit 7838c8
           are no longer compiled

        Packit 7838c8
        Packit 7838c8
          Packit 7838c8
        • support was added for registering new codecs external to the library
        • Packit 7838c8
             and for overriding the codecs that are builtin to the library
          Packit 7838c8
        • emulation support for the old <TT>DataType</TT> tag was improved
        • Packit 7838c8
        • suppport was added for the <TT>SMinSampleValue</TT>
        • Packit 7838c8
              and <TT>SMaxSampleValue</TT> tags
          Packit 7838c8
        • the library no longer ignores <TT>TileWidth</TT> and <TT>TileLength</TT>
        • Packit 7838c8
              tags whose values are not a multiple of 16 (per the spec); this
          Packit 7838c8
              permits old, improperly written, images to be read
          Packit 7838c8
        • the support for the <TT>Predictor</TT> tag was placed in a reusable
        • Packit 7838c8
              module so that it can be shared by multiple codecs
          Packit 7838c8
        • experimental compression support was added for the Deflate algorithm
        • Packit 7838c8
             (using the freely available zlib package)
          Packit 7838c8
        • a new routine, <TT>TIFFWriteBufferSetup</TT> was added a la the
        • Packit 7838c8
             routine <TT>TIFFReadBufferSetup</TT>
          Packit 7838c8
        • the DSO version of the library is now statically linked with the
        • Packit 7838c8
             JPEG and Deflate libraries; this means applications that link against
          Packit 7838c8
             the DSO do not also need to link against these ancillary libraries
