|
50 compression kit anymore. |
|
51 |
|
52 <li> bmp2tiff: Added new utility to convert Windows BMP files |
|
53 into TIFFs. |
|

|
77 |
|
78 <li> BSD data types (u_char, u_short, u_int, u_long) is no longer |
|
79 used internally in the libtiff. Should result in simpler configuration |
|
80 and better portability. |
|
81 |
|
82 <li> libtiff/tiff.h: Fix column tagging. Reference current Adobe XMP |
|
83 specification. Reference libtiff bug tracking system to submit |
|
84 private tag additions. |
|
85 |
|
86 <li> libtiff/tif_dirread.c: Don't reject to read tags of the |
|
87 SamplesPerPixel size when the tag count is greater than number of |
|
88 samples as per bug |

106 |
|
107 <li> libtiff/tif_dir.c: Call TIFFError() instead of producing warnings |
