  50 <LI>a new codec from Pixar designed for high-resolution color images;
  51     note that this codec is not configured by default
  52 <LI>a bug fix for reading tags with a single <TT>FLOAT</TT> value
  53 <LI>change to the <TT>TIFFGetField</TT> calling convention:
  54     a tag that has a single value of
  55     type <TT>DOUBLE</TT> is now retrieved by passing a
  56     ``<TT>double*</TT>'' instead of a
  57     ``<TT>double**</TT>'' (this change makes the handling of tags with
  58     <TT>DOUBLE</TT> values identical to the handling of tags with
  59     <TT>FLOAT</TT> values)
  60 <LI>fix to VMS support for the handling of floating point values
