7838c8 |
|

Packit |
7838c8 |
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
a <TT>-noninteractive</TT> flag was added to configure to
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
control whether or not it prints and prompts for configuration information
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
various typos and fixes were made in configure for the the
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
library-only build support (this and other configure fixes from
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
Richard Mlynarik <mly@adoc.xerox.com>)
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
bugs were fixed in the handling of pathnames supplied for external
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
packages; e.g. <TT>DIR_JPEG</TT>
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
the handling of <TT>SETMAKE</TT> is now done properly
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
the default prototype function declaration for <TT>pow</TT> was corrected
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
a bug was fixed in libtiff/Makefile.in that caused installation
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
to fail on systems without DSO support

|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
Acorn RISC O/S support that was accidentally left out of the
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
left out of the previous distribution is present (from Peter Greenham)
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
complaints about unknown and/or unsupported codecs have been
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
delayed until they are invoked; this permits applications to open
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
images and look at tags even if the image data is compressed with
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
an unknown/unsupported compression scheme
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
bugs in handling unknown tags have been corrected; applications
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
that use multiple codecs, each with codec-specific tags, no longer
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
generate confusing error messages
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
a missing pseudo-tag definition in the CCITT G3 codec was fixed
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
(this problem caused core dumps in the <TT>tiffcp</TT> program)
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
pseudo-tags are now treated specially; they are always considered
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
to be set (i.e. they do not use bits in the <TT>FIELD_*</TT> bit-vectors).
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
the use of strip chopping can now be controlled on a per-file basis
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
through a mode parameter supplied when opening a file (``C'' to
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
enable strip chopping and ``c'' to disable)
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
two bugs were fixed in the writing of opposite-endian byte-order
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
files
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
support was added for three new fax-related tags registered to
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
SGI: FaxRecvParams, FaxRecvTime, and FaxSubAddress
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
the bit order of image data read and written can now be controlled
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
on a per-file basis through a mode parameter supplied when opening
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
a file (``B'' to force MSB2LSB bit order, ``L'' for LSB2MSB bit
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
order, and ``H'' for the bit order of the native CPU)
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
the byte order of image and tag data written to newly-created files
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
can now be controlled on a per-file basis through a mode parameter
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
supplied when openening a file (``b'' to force Big-Endian byte order
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
and ``l'' to force Little-Endian byte order)
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
the use memory-mapped files for images opened read-only can now
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
be controlled on a per-file basis through a mode parameter supplied
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
when opening a file (``M'' to enable use of memory-mapped files
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
and ``m'' to disable use)
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
the use of the <TT>WIN32</TT> define in tiffiop.h has
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
been replaced by <TT>__WIN32__</TT>

|
Packit |
7838c8 |
a bug in the handling of 3-channel images by <TT>ras2tiff</TT>
|

Packit |
7838c8 |
was fixed
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
<TT>tiffcp</TT> has new options to control the byte order of

|
Packit |
7838c8 |
newly created files: -B for Big-Endian byte order, -L
|
|
Packit |
7838c8 |
for Little-Endian byte order; a -M option to disable the

Packit |
7838c8 |
