+
+<UL>
+	<li> libtiff/tif_ojpeg.c: Fixed problem with duplicated SOI and SOF
+	markers as per bug
+	<a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581"
+		http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581</a>.
+
+	<li> libtiff/{tif_open.c, tiffio.h}: New function added:
+	TIFFIsBigEndian(). Function returns nonzero if given was file written
+	in big-endian order.
+
+	<li> libtiff/tif_print.c: added (untested) support for printing
+	SSHORT, SLONG and SRATIONAL fields.
+
+	<li> libtiff/tif_fax3.c: Avoid reading CCITT compression options
+	if compression type mismatches. See
+	<a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=565">
+		http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=565</a>.
+
+	<li> libtiff/tif_strip.c: Never return 0 from the TIFFNumberOfStrips().
+
+	<li> libtiff/tif_dirread.c: Workaround for broken TIFF writers which
+	store single SampleFormat value for multisampled images. See
+	<a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562">
+		http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562</a>.
+
+	<li> libtiff/tif_write.c: Allow in-place updating of the compressed
+	images (don't work properly with all codecs). For details see GDAL bug
+	<a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=534">
+		http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=534</a>.
+
+	<li> libtiff/tif_jpeg.c: Workaround for wrong sampling factors used
+	in the Intergarph JPEG compressed TIFF images as per bug:
+	<a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=532">
+		http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=532</a>.
+
+	<li> libtiff/tif_open.c: Use dummy mmap/munmap functions in
+	TIFFClientOpen() when the appropriate client functions was not
+	supplied by user.
+
+	<li> libtiff/tif_dirread.c: Fixed problem with handling TIFF_UNDEFINED
+	tag type in TIFFFetchNormalTag() as per bug
+	<a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=508"
+		http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=508</a>.
+
+	<li> libtiff/tif_codec.c: Fixed typo in TIFFInitPackBits name as per:
+	<a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494">
+		http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494</a>.
+
+	<li> libtiff/tif_fax3.c: Fixed problem, introdiced in 3.6.1 release,
+	with the CCITT encoding modes as per bug
+	<a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483">
+		http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483</a>.
+        We need more work on fax codec to support update mode.
+
+	<li> libtiff/tiff.h: Fixed tag definitions for TIFFTAG_YCLIPPATHUNITS
+	and TIFFTAG_INDEXED as per bug
+	<a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=475">
+		http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=475</a>.
+
+	<li> libtiff/{tif_win32.c, tif_unix.c}: Check whether the pointer is
+	NULL before proceeding further as per bug
+	<a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474">
+		http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474</a>.
+	Check results, returned by the TIFFFdOpen() before returning and close
+	file if TIFFFdOpen() failed as per bug
+	<a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468">
+		http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468</a>.
+
+	<li> libtiff/{libtiff.def, tif_close.c, tiffio.h, tif_open.c}:
+	Separate TIFFCleanup() from the TIFFClose() in order to fix the bug
+	<a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468">
+	http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468</a>.
+
+	<li> libtiff/tif_dirwrite.c: Fixed handling of writable ASCII tags
+	that are field_passcount=TRUE properly.  Arguably anonymous custom
+	tags should be declared as passcount=FALSE, but I don't want to change
+	that without a careful review.
+
+	<li> libtiff/tif_write.c: Fixed reporting size of the buffer in case
+	of stripped image in TIFFWriteBufferSetup(). As per bug
+	<a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=460">
+	http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=460</a>.
+				
+	<li> libtiff/tif_dir.c: Incomplete cleanup in TIFFFreeDirectory(),
+	patch from Gerben Koopmans.
+
+	<li> libtiff/tif_dirread.c: Check field_passcount value before setting
+	the value of undefined type, patch from Gerben Koopmans.		
+
+	<li> libtiff/{tiff.h, tif_fax3.c}:Fixes for AMD 64 platform as
+	suggested by Jeremy C. Reed.			
+
+	<li> libtiff/tif_win32.c: Fixed problem with _TIFFrealloc() when
+	the NULL pointer passed. Patch supplied by Larry Grill.
