This document describes the changes made to the software between the previous and current versions (see above). If you don't find something listed here, then it was not done in this timeframe, or it was not considered important enough to be mentioned. The following information is located here:

Software configuration changes

  • various fixups and subtle improvements to configure from Richard Mlynarik

Library changes

  • a new codec from Pixar designed for high-resolution color images; note that this codec is not configured by default

  • a bug fix for reading tags with a single FLOAT value

  • change to the TIFFGetField() calling convention: a tag that has a single value of type DOUBLE is now retrieved by passing a double* instead of a double** (this change makes the handling of tags with DOUBLE values identical to the handling of tags with FLOAT values)

  • fix to VMS support for the handling of floating point values

Tools changes

  • tiffdump now handles tags with FLOAT and DOUBLE values

Contributed software changes

  • updates to the Acorn OS support from Peter Greenham
