| 26 | If you don't find something listed here, then it was not done in this

| 41 | <UL>
|
|---|
| 42 | <LI>It is now possible to setup the software to build only the
|
|---|
| 43 | library; configure reconizes this is the intent when the
|
|---|
| 44 | <B>VERSION</B>, <B>tiff.alpha</B>, and <B>tif_version.c</B>
|
|---|
| 45 | files are in the local directory (i.e. ``.'')
|
|---|
| 46 | <LI>configure no longer tries to setup HTML materials
|
|---|
| 47 | <LI>include file directories needed in building the library are now
|
|---|
| 48 | specified with a <TT>DIRS_LIBINC</TT> config parameter
|
|---|
| 49 | <LI>configure no longer checks for alternate compilers if <TT>CC</TT>
|
|---|
| 50 | is set; if the specified compiler is not found or is not appropriate
|
|---|
| 51 | the configuration procedure aborts
|
|---|
| 52 | <LI>the <B>port.h</B> file generated by configure is now used only by
|
|---|
| 53 | the library and as such as have been moved to the <B>libtiff</B>
|
|---|
| 54 | directory
|
|---|
| 55 | <LI>there is beginning support for building DSO's on systems other than IRIX
|
|---|
| 56 | <LI>configure now verifies the JPEG and zlib directory pathnames by
|
|---|
| 57 | checking for well-known include files in these directories
|
|---|
| 58 | <LI>configure no longer creates the <B>dist</B> directory needed only
|
|---|
| 59 | on SGI machines (for building SGI binary distributions)
|
|---|
| 60 | <LI>a bug was fixed whereby configure would incorrectly set
|
|---|
| 61 | <TT>ENVOPTS</TT> when building the software with gcc under AIX

|

| 68 | <UL>
|
|---|
| 69 | <LI>two new typedefs were added to <B>tiff.h</TT>: <TT>int8</TT>
|
|---|
| 70 | and <TT>uint8</TT> for signed and unsigned 8-bit quantities,
|
|---|
| 71 | respectively; these are currently used only by
|
|---|
| 72 | programs in the <B>tools</B> directory
|
|---|
| 73 | <LI>the <TT>BadFaxLines</TT>, <TT>CleanFaxData</TT>, and
|
|---|
| 74 | <TT>ConsecutiveBadFaxLines</B> tags are now supported with
|
|---|
| 75 | Group 4 compression
|
|---|
| 76 | <LI>byte order is now correctly identified on 64-bit machines
|
|---|
| 77 | <LI>a bug was fixed in the PackBits decoder where input data would
|
|---|
| 78 | appear short when a no-op run was present
|
|---|
| 79 | <LI>a bug was fixed in calculations with very wide strips
|
|---|
| 80 | <LI><TT>TIFFWriteEncodedStrip</TT> and <TT>TIFFWriteRawStrip</TT>
|
|---|
| 81 | were extended to support dynamically growing the number of
|
|---|
| 82 | strips in an image (must set <TT>ImageLength</TT> prior to
|
|---|
| 83 | making calls though)
|
|---|
| 84 | <LI><TT>TIFFDefaultTileSize</TT> now rounds tile width and height
|
|---|
| 85 | up to a multiple of 16 pixels, as required by the TIFF 6.0 specification
|
|---|
| 86 | <LI>the file <B>version.h</B> is now built by a new <B>mkversion</B>
|
|---|
| 87 | program; this was done for portability to non-UNIX systems
|
|---|
| 88 | <LI>support was added for the Acorn RISC OS (from Peter Greenham)
|
|---|
| 89 | <LI>the builtin codec table is now made <TT>const</TT> when compiling
|
|---|
| 90 | under VMS so that <B>libtiff</B> can be built as a shared library
|
|---|
| 91 | <LI>support for the PowerPC Mac (from Ruedi Boesch)
|

| 92 | <LI>support for Window NT/Window 95 (from Scott Wagner)

|

| 102 | about how long <TT>int32</TT> data types are
|
