| | 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 |

| | 52 | |
| | 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 |
