This document describes the changes made to the software between the

25 |
<I>previous</I> and <I>current</I> versions (see above).

<LI>support was added for building the library as a DSO under HP-UX with
|
|
41 |
the native C compiler
|
|
42 |
<LI>tools are now built with explicit pathnames for the DSO under IRIX,
|
|
43 |
Solaris, and Linux
|
|
44 |
<LI>DSO configuration support for Linux was changed to require that
|
|
45 |
<B>libc.so</B> only be readable (not executable)

|
|
53 |
<LI>support was add for ICC: <TT>NumberOfInks</TT>, and <TT>ICCProfile</TT>
|
|
54 |
<LI>a memory leak caused by doing <TT>TIFFSetDirectory(0)</TT> was fixed
|
|
55 |
<LI>a bug was fixed whereby certain multi-directory files were not
|
|
56 |
properly handled when accessed by mapping the data into memory
|
|
57 |
<LI>the strip chopping support is now always compiled
|
|
58 |
into the library with the default usage controlled by a
|
|
59 |
<TT>STRIPCHOP_DEFAULT</TT> configuration parameter
|
|
60 |
<LI>the strip chopping support no longer chops tiled images
|
|
61 |
<LI>all static strings are now const--for shared libraries
|
|
62 |
<LI>the logic for estimating the strip size of images without
|
|
63 |
a <TT>StripByteCounts</TT> tag was improved by handling
|
|
64 |
<TT>PlanarContig</TT> images differently from <TT>PlanarSeparate</TT>
|
|
65 |
<LI>a bug was fixed in the G3 codec when converting the Y resolution
|
|
66 |
of data specified in metric units
|
|
67 |
<LI>a bug was fixed in the G3/G4 decoder for data where lines terminate
|
|
68 |
with a v0 code
|
|
69 |
<LI>the <TT>TIFFRGBAImage</TT> support was changed to scale 16-bit colormap
|
|
70 |
entries more conservatively to avoid problems with applications
|
|
71 |
that do not generate fully saturated pixel values
|
|
72 |
<LI>the LZW decoder was changed to use a more conservative scheme when
|
|
73 |
bounds checking the hash table array; this avoids pitfalls with
|
|
74 |
systems that load objects into memory in unusual locations
|
|
75 |
<LI>a bug was fixed in <TT>TIFFPrintDirectory</TT>'s handling of the
|
|
76 |
<TT>InkNames</TT> tag
|
|
77 |
<LI><TT>TIFFPrintDirectory</TT> now understands <TT>NumberOfInks</TT>
|
|
78 |
and ICC-related tags
|
|
79 |
<LI>the routines for reading image data now provide more useful information
|
|
80 |
when a read error is encountered
|
|
81 |
<LI>support was added for compiling with Microsoft Visual C++ 4.0

<LI>a bug was fixed in <B>pal2rgb</B>'s colormap handling
|
|
90 |
<LI><B>tiff2ps</B> now includes John Wehle's changes for maintaining
|
|
91 |
the aspect ratio
|
|
92 |
of images when scaling and for honoring the deadzone on a page when
|
|
93 |
generating PostScript Level II
|
|
94 |
<LI><B>tiff2ps</B> does a better job guarding against the mishandling
|
|
95 |
of greyscale images
|
|
96 |
<LI><B>tiff2ps</B> now correctly converts X- and Y-resolution values
|
|
97 |
specified in metric units
|
|
98 |
<LI><B>tiffdump</B> has a new <TT>-m</TT> option to control the maximum
|
|
99 |
number of indirect
|
|
100 |
data values printed for a tag (by default 24)
|
|
101 |
<LI><B>tiffdump</B> understands several new tags
|
|
102 |
<LI><B>tiffdump</B> now shows any terminating null in ASCII strings
|
|
103 |
<LI><B>tiffinfo</B> now suppresses strip chopping when interpreting an image;
|
|
104 |
a new <TT>-z</TT> option has been added to enable strip chopping
