47 | ||
48 | <ul> | |
49 | <li> LZW compression enabled by default. You don't need the separate | |
50 | compression kit anymore. | |
51 | ||
52 | <li> bmp2tiff: Added new utility to convert Windows BMP files | |
53 | into TIFFs. | |
54 | ||
55 | <li> The first attempt to implement a test suite. | |
56 | </ul> | |

63 | ||
64 | <UL> | |
65 | <li> Many portability fixes in the new autotooled build suite. | |

73 | ||
74 | <UL> | |
75 | <li> libtiff/{tif_luv.c, tif_next.c, tif_thunder.c}: Several buffer | |
76 | overruns fixed, as noted by Chris Evans. | |
77 | ||
78 | <li> BSD data types (u_char, u_short, u_int, u_long) is no longer | |
79 | used internally in the libtiff. Should result in simpler configuration | |
80 | and better portability. | |
81 | ||
82 | <li> libtiff/tiff.h: Fix column tagging. Reference current Adobe XMP | |
83 | specification. Reference libtiff bug tracking system to submit | |
84 | private tag additions. | |
85 | ||
86 | <li> libtiff/tif_dirread.c: Don't reject to read tags of the | |
87 | SamplesPerPixel size when the tag count is greater than number of | |
88 | samples as per bug | |

90 | http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=576</A>. | |
91 | ||
92 | <li> libtiff/{tiffio.h, tif_open.c}: Applied patches from | |
93 | Joris Van Damme to avoid requirement for tiffiop.h inclusion in | |
94 | some applications. Look for details here: | |

96 | http://www.asmail.be/msg0054799560.html</A>. | |
97 | ||

99 | variable as per bug | |

101 | http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=593</A>. | |
102 | ||
103 | <li> libtiff/tif_lzw.c: LZW compression code is merged back from the | |
104 | separate package. All libtiff tools are updated to not advertise an | |
105 | abcence of LZW support. | |
106 | ||
107 | <li> libtiff/tif_dir.c: Call TIFFError() instead of producing warnings | |
108 | when setting custom tags by value. Reported by Eric Fieleke. | |
