24 This document describes the changes made to the software between the |
|
25 <I>previous</I> and <I>current</I> versions (see above). |
|
26 If you don't find something listed here, then it was not done in this |
|
27 timeframe, or it was not considered important enough to be mentioned. |
|
28 The following information is located here: |

|
38 |
|
39 <UL> |
|
40 <LI><B>configure</B> now captures significantly more information |
|
41 in the <B>config.log</B> file and provides more information when |
|
42 it is unable to setup a configuration |
|
43 <LI>support was added for building shared libraries on more systems: |
|
44 AIX, HPUX, Solaris, and Linux. |
|
45 <LI>a new configuration parameter <TT>LIBCOPTS</TT> was added for |
|
46 passing arguments to the C compiler to use when building only |
|
47 the library; this is part of the enhanced support for building |
|
48 shared libraries |
|
49 <LI>include files for optional packages that reside in <B>/usr/include</B> |
|
50 are now handled correctly |
|
51 <LI>build trees may now be configured using either relative or absolute |
|
52 pathnames to the source distribution |
|
53 <LI>several new configuration parameters were added, mainly for building |
|
54 shared libraries: <TT>DIST_MAJOR</TT>, <TT>DIST_MINOR</TT>, |
|
55 <TT>DIST_ALPHA</TT>, and <TT>DSOSUF_VERSION</TT> |

|

|
62 <UL> |
|
63 <LI>the Deflate support has been revised: it requires version 0.99 of |
|
64 the zlib software distribution, <B>the output format has changed and |
|
65 is incompatible with previous versions of this library</B> (each |
|
66 strip now includes a header read and written by the zlib library) |
|
67 <LI>the codec name printed by the TIFFPrintDirectory routine is now |
|
68 taken from the codec table instead of from a builtin table; this means |
|
69 that application-defined codecs are handled correctly |
|
70 <LI>a new symbol was added that contains the library version number; |
|
71 this can be used to do a compile-time compatibility check of the |
|
72 library version |
|

|
80 <LI>the creation and installation of manual pages was redone; it now |
|
81 implements the documented ``configuration scheme'' |
