| 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: | |

| 30 | <LI><A HREF="#configure">Changes in the software configuration</A> | |
| 31 | <LI><A HREF="#libtiff">Changes in libtiff</A> | |
| 32 | <LI><A HREF="#man">Changes in the manual pages</A> | |

| 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> | |

| 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 | |
| 73 | </UL> | |

| 78 | ||
| 79 | <UL> | |
| 80 | <LI>the creation and installation of manual pages was redone; it now | |
| 81 | implements the documented ``configuration scheme'' | |
