  44         <LI> configure: added test for libc6 for linux targets.  Bug reported by
  45         Stanislav Brabec <utx@k332.feld.cvut.cz>
  46
  47          <LI>   configure: fixed bugs in sed scripts
  48         (applied sed script s:/@:s;@:;s:/s;;:;: to configure).
  49         fix submitted by Stanislav Brabec <utx@k332.feld.cvut.cz>
  50
  51         <LI> tools/iptcutil was not in files list, and wasn't being
  52         added to tar archive.  Updated Makefile.in.
  53
  54         <LI>  Added 3.5 docs to html/Makefile.in.
  55         Thanks to  Stanislav Brabec <utx@k332.feld.cvut.cz>
  56
  57         <LI> Fixed tools/tiffcmp so that stopondiff testing works.
  58              Patch care of Joseph Orost <joe@sanskrit.lz.att.com>.
  59
  60         <LI> Added fax3sm_winnt.c to distribution list in Makefile.in.
  61
  62          <LI> Added libtiff/libtiff.def to TIFFILES distribution list.

  71         <LI>tif_fax3.c: Fixed serious bug introduced during the uint16->uint32
  72         conversion for the run arrays.
  73
  74         <LI> Set td_sampleformat default to SAMPLEFORMAT_UINT instead of
  75         SAMPLEFORMAT_VOID in TIFFDefaultDirectory() in tif_dir.c.
  76
  77         <LI> Added "GetDefaulted" support for TIFFTAG_SAMPLEFORMAT in tif_aux.c.
  78
  79         <LI> Patched tif_fax3.c so that dsp->runs is allocated a bit bigger
  80         to avoid overruns encountered with frle_bug.tif.
  81
  82
  83         <LI> Modified tif_unix.c to support 2-4GB seeks if USE_64BIT_API is
  84           set to 1, and added default (off) setting in tiffconf.h.  This
  85           should eventually be set by the configure script somehow.
  86
  87           The original work on all these 2-4GB changes was done by
  88           Peter Smith (psmith@creo.com).
  89
  90         <LI> Modified tif_win32.c to support 2-4GB seeks.
  91
  92         <LI> tentatively changed toff_t to be unsigned instead of signed to
  93           facilitate support for 2-4GB files.
  94
  95         <LI>  Updated a variety of files to use toff_t.  Fixed some mixups
  96               between toff_t and tsize_t.
  97
  98         <LI> Set tif_rawdatasize to zero when freeing raw data buffer in
  99              TIFFWriteDirectory().
 100
 101          <LI> Enabled "REWRITE_HACK" in tif_write.c by default.
 102
 103          <LI> Fix bug in tif_write.c when switching between reading one directory
 104               and writing to another.
 105
 106          <LI> Made TIFFWriteCheck() public, and added TIFFCreateDirectory()
 107
 108          <LI> Added TIFFmemory(3t) functions to libtiff.def.
 109
 110          <LI> Added libtiff/libtiff.def to TIFFILES distribution list.

 122         Patch courtesy of Bernt Herd <herd@herdsoft.com>
 123
 124
 125         <LI> Largely reimplemented contrib/addtiffo to avoid temp files,
 126             updating the TIFF file in place.  Fixed a few other bugs to.
 127
 128        <LI> Altered descriptions in tools to reflect "by default" lzw not supported

 134 <UL>
 135         <LI>created mangle-src.sh -- sed scripts to munge src into LZW enabled format. Thanks to Stanislav Brabec <utx@k332.feld.cvut.cz>
 136
 137         <LI>created Makefile
 138
