+
+<ul>
+	<li> LZW compression enabled by default. You don't need the separate
+	compression kit anymore.
+
+	<li> bmp2tiff: Added new utility to convert Windows BMP files
+	into TIFFs.
+
+	<li> The first attempt to implement a test suite.

+
+<UL>
+	<li> libtiff/{tif_luv.c, tif_next.c, tif_thunder.c}: Several buffer
+	overruns fixed, as noted by Chris Evans.
+
+	<li> BSD data types (u_char, u_short, u_int, u_long) is no longer
+	used internally in the libtiff. Should result in simpler configuration
+	and better portability.
+
+	<li> libtiff/tiff.h: Fix column tagging. Reference current Adobe XMP
+	specification. Reference libtiff bug tracking system to submit
+	private tag additions.
+
+	<li> libtiff/tif_dirread.c: Don't reject to read tags of the
+	SamplesPerPixel size when the tag count is greater than number of
+	samples as per bug
+	<A HREF="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=576">
+		http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=576</A>.
+
+	<li> libtiff/{tiffio.h, tif_open.c}: Applied patches from
+	Joris Van Damme	to avoid requirement for tiffiop.h inclusion in
+	some applications. Look for details here:
+	<A HREF="http://www.asmail.be/msg0054799560.html">
+		http://www.asmail.be/msg0054799560.html</A>.
+
+	<li> libtiff/{tiffiop.h, tif_dirinfo.c}: Fixed problem with the static
+	variable as per bug
+	<A HREF="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=593">
+		http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=593</A>.
+	
+	<li> libtiff/tif_lzw.c: LZW compression code is merged back from the
+	separate package. All libtiff tools are updated to not advertise an
+	abcence of LZW support.
+
+	<li> libtiff/tif_dir.c: Call TIFFError() instead of producing warnings
+	when setting custom tags by value. Reported by Eric Fieleke.
