<A NAME="configure"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN THE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:</B></A>

<UL>

	<LI> Added GNULDdso target and switched linux and freebsd to use it.
	<LI> tools/Makefile.in: Modified to install properly on SGI.
	<LI> configure: Fixed DSO test for Linux as per patch from
	  Jan Van Buggenhout <chipzz@Ace.ULYSSIS.Student.KULeuven.Ac.Be>.

<UL>

	<LI> tif_dir.c: Clear TIFF_ISTILED flag in TIFFDefaultDirectory
	as per http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18
	from vandrove@vc.cvut.cz.

	<LI> Modified tif_packbits.c decoding to avoid overrunning the
	output buffer, and to issue a warning if data needs to be
	discarded.  See http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18

	<LI> Modified TIFFClientOpen() to emit an error on an attempt to
	open a comperessed file for update (O_RDWR/r+) access.  This is
	because the compressor/decompressor code gets very confused when
	the mode is O_RDWR, assuming this means writing only.  See
	bug http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13

	<LI> Applied patch for 0x0000 sequences in tif_fax3.h's definition
	of EXPAND1D() as per bug 11 (from Roman).

	<LI> Fixed tiffcomp.h to avoid win32 stuff if unix #defined, to improve
	cygwin compatibility.

	<LI> Applied patch from Roman Shpount to tif_fax3.c.  This seems to
	be a proper fix to the buffer sizing problem.  See
	http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11

	<LI> Fixed tif_getimage.c to fix overrun bug with YCbCr images without
	downsampling.  http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10
	Thanks to Nick Lamb <njl98r@ecs.soton.ac.uk> for reporting the
	bug and proving the patch.

	<LI> Fixed tif_jpeg.c so avoid destroying the decompressor before
	we are done access data thanks to bug report from:
	Michael Eckstein <eckstein@gepro.cz>.

	<LI> tif_open.c: Don't set MMAP for O_RDWR files.

	<LI> tif_open.c: Set STRIPCHOP_DEFAULT for O_RDWR as well as O_RDONLY
	so that files opened for update can be strip chopped too.

	<LI> tif_read.c: fixed up bug with files missing rowsperstrip and
	the strips per separation fix done a few weeks ago.

	<LI> Tentatively added support for SAMPLEFORMAT_COMPLEXIEEEFP, and
	SAMPLEFORMAT_COMPLEXINT.

	<LI> index.html, bugs.html: added bugzilla info.

	<LI> tif_read.c: fix subtle bug with determining the number of
	rows for strips that are the last strip in a separation but
	not the last strip of all in TIFFReadEncodedStrip().

	<LI> Applied 16/32 bit fix to tif_fax3.c.  Fix supplied by
	Peter Skarpetis <peters@serendipity-software.com.au>

	<LI> Modified tiffio.h logic with regard to including windows.h.  It
	won't include it when building with __CYGWIN__.

	<LI> README: update to mention www.libtiff.org, don't list Sam's old
	email address.

	<LI> libtiff/tif_dirread.c: Don't use estimate strip byte count for
	one tile/strip images with an offset, and byte count of zero. These
	could be "unpopulated" images.

	<LI> tif_win32.c:  Applied patch to fix overreads and ovverwrites
	  caught by BoundsChecker.  From Arvan Pritchard
	  <arvan.pritchard@infomatix.co.uk>  (untested).

        <LI> tif_getimage.c:  Applied patch to silence VC6 warnings.  From
	  Arvan Pritchard <arvan.pritchard@informatix.co.uk>

	<LI> tif_lzw.c:  Applied patch to silence VC6 warnings.  From
	  Arvan Pritchard <arvan.pritchard@informatix.co.uk>

	<LI> libtiff/tif_apple.c: Applied "Carbon" support patches supplied by
	Leonard Rosenthol <leonardr@lazerware.com>.  May interfere
	with correct building on older systems.  If so, please let me know.

<A NAME="tools"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN THE TOOLS:</B></A>

<UL>

	<LI> tools/rgb2ycbcr.c: fixed output strip size to account for vertical
	roundup if rows_per_strip not a multiple of vertical sample size.

	<LI> tools/tiffsplit.c: Copy TIFFTAG_SAMPLEFORMAT.

	<LI>  Modified tiff2bw to ensure portions add to 100%, and that
	 white is properly recovered.  See bug
	 http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15 Patch
