| 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. | |

| 42 | <UL> | |
| 43 | <LI>support was added for configuring the Deflate codec | |
| 44 | <LI>support was added for the HTML documentation | |
| 45 | <LI>codecs that are not configured for inclusion in the library | |
| 46 | are no longer compiled | |

| 53 | <UL> | |
| 54 | <LI>support was added for registering new codecs external to the library | |
| 55 | and for overriding the codecs that are builtin to the library | |
| 56 | <LI>emulation support for the old <TT>DataType</TT> tag was improved | |
| 57 | <LI>suppport was added for the <TT>SMinSampleValue</TT> | |
| 58 | and <TT>SMaxSampleValue</TT> tags | |
| 59 | <LI>the library no longer ignores <TT>TileWidth</TT> and <TT>TileLength</TT> | |
| 60 | tags whose values are not a multiple of 16 (per the spec); this | |
| 61 | permits old, improperly written, images to be read | |
| 62 | <LI>the support for the <TT>Predictor</TT> tag was placed in a reusable | |
| 63 | module so that it can be shared by multiple codecs | |
| 64 | <LI>experimental compression support was added for the Deflate algorithm | |
| 65 | (using the freely available zlib package) | |
| 66 | <LI>a new routine, <TT>TIFFWriteBufferSetup</TT> was added a la the | |
| 67 | routine <TT>TIFFReadBufferSetup</TT> | |
| 68 | <LI>the DSO version of the library is now statically linked with the | |
| 69 | JPEG and Deflate libraries; this means applications that link against | |
| 70 | the DSO do not also need to link against these ancillary libraries | |
