51 | ||
52 | <li> tiffset: tiffset now can set any libtiff supported tags. Tags | |
53 | can be supplied by the mnemonic name or number. | |

74 | <li> libtiff/tif_ojpeg.c: Fixed problem with duplicated SOI and SOF | |
75 | markers as per bug | |
76 | <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581" | |

78 | ||
79 | <li> libtiff/{tif_open.c, tiffio.h}: New function added: | |
80 | TIFFIsBigEndian(). Function returns nonzero if given was file written | |
81 | in big-endian order. | |
82 | ||
83 | <li> libtiff/tif_print.c: added (untested) support for printing | |
84 | SSHORT, SLONG and SRATIONAL fields. | |
85 | ||
86 | <li> libtiff/tif_fax3.c: Avoid reading CCITT compression options | |
87 | if compression type mismatches. See | |
88 | <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=565"> | |
89 | http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=565</a>. | |
90 | ||
91 | <li> libtiff/tif_strip.c: Never return 0 from the TIFFNumberOfStrips(). | |
92 | ||
93 | <li> libtiff/tif_dirread.c: Workaround for broken TIFF writers which | |
94 | store single SampleFormat value for multisampled images. See | |
95 | <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562"> | |
96 | http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562</a>. | |
97 | ||
98 | <li> libtiff/tif_write.c: Allow in-place updating of the compressed | |
99 | images (don't work properly with all codecs). For details see GDAL bug | |
100 | <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=534"> | |
101 | http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=534</a>. | |
102 | ||

104 | in the Intergarph JPEG compressed TIFF images as per bug: | |
105 | <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=532"> | |
106 | http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=532</a>. | |
107 | ||
108 | <li> libtiff/tif_open.c: Use dummy mmap/munmap functions in | |
109 | TIFFClientOpen() when the appropriate client functions was not | |
110 | supplied by user. | |
111 | ||
112 | <li> libtiff/tif_dirread.c: Fixed problem with handling TIFF_UNDEFINED | |
113 | tag type in TIFFFetchNormalTag() as per bug | |
114 | <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=508" | |
115 | http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=508</a>. | |
116 | ||
117 | <li> libtiff/tif_codec.c: Fixed typo in TIFFInitPackBits name as per: | |
118 | <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494"> | |
119 | http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494</a>. | |
120 | ||
121 | <li> libtiff/tif_fax3.c: Fixed problem, introdiced in 3.6.1 release, | |
122 | with the CCITT encoding modes as per bug | |
123 | <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483"> | |
124 | http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483</a>. | |
125 | We need more work on fax codec to support update mode. | |
126 | ||
127 | <li> libtiff/tiff.h: Fixed tag definitions for TIFFTAG_YCLIPPATHUNITS | |
128 | and TIFFTAG_INDEXED as per bug | |
129 | <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=475"> | |
130 | http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=475</a>. | |
131 | ||
132 | <li> libtiff/{tif_win32.c, tif_unix.c}: Check whether the pointer is | |
133 | NULL before proceeding further as per bug | |
134 | <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474"> | |
135 | http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474</a>. | |
136 | Check results, returned by the TIFFFdOpen() before returning and close | |
137 | file if TIFFFdOpen() failed as per bug | |
138 | <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468"> | |
139 | http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468</a>. | |
140 | ||
141 | <li> libtiff/{libtiff.def, tif_close.c, tiffio.h, tif_open.c}: | |
142 | Separate TIFFCleanup() from the TIFFClose() in order to fix the bug | |
143 | <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468"> | |
144 | http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468</a>. | |
145 | ||
146 | <li> libtiff/tif_dirwrite.c: Fixed handling of writable ASCII tags | |
147 | that are field_passcount=TRUE properly. Arguably anonymous custom | |
148 | tags should be declared as passcount=FALSE, but I don't want to change | |
149 | that without a careful review. | |
150 | ||
151 | <li> libtiff/tif_write.c: Fixed reporting size of the buffer in case | |
152 | of stripped image in TIFFWriteBufferSetup(). As per bug | |

160 | the value of undefined type, patch from Gerben Koopmans. | |
161 | ||
162 | <li> libtiff/{tiff.h, tif_fax3.c}:Fixes for AMD 64 platform as | |
163 | suggested by Jeremy C. Reed. | |
164 | ||
165 | <li> libtiff/tif_win32.c: Fixed problem with _TIFFrealloc() when | |
166 | the NULL pointer passed. Patch supplied by Larry Grill. | |

186 | ||
187 | <li> <a href=./man/tiffsplit.1.html>tiffsplit</a>: Fixed problem with | |
188 | unproperly written multibyte files. Now output files will be written | |
