<font size="+3">C</font>HANGES IN THE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:

        
 configure: added test for libc6 for linux targets.  Bug reported by 

        Stanislav Brabec <utx@k332.feld.cvut.cz></utx@k332.feld.cvut.cz>

         
	configure: fixed bugs in sed scripts 

	(applied sed script s:/@:s;@:;s:/s;;:;: to configure). 

	fix submitted by Stanislav Brabec <utx@k332.feld.cvut.cz></utx@k332.feld.cvut.cz>

	
 tools/iptcutil was not in files list, and wasn't being 

	added to tar archive.  Updated Makefile.in.

        
  Added 3.5 docs to html/Makefile.in.  

	Thanks to  Stanislav Brabec <utx@k332.feld.cvut.cz></utx@k332.feld.cvut.cz>

        
 Fixed tools/tiffcmp so that stopondiff testing works.

	     Patch care of Joseph Orost <joe@sanskrit.lz.att.com>.</joe@sanskrit.lz.att.com>

        
 Added fax3sm_winnt.c to distribution list in Makefile.in. 

         
 Added libtiff/libtiff.def to TIFFILES distribution list.

<font size="+3">C</font>HANGES IN LIBTIFF:

        
tif_fax3.c: Fixed serious bug introduced during the uint16->uint32 

        conversion for the run arrays.  

	
 Set td_sampleformat default to SAMPLEFORMAT_UINT instead of 

	SAMPLEFORMAT_VOID in TIFFDefaultDirectory() in tif_dir.c.

        
 Added "GetDefaulted" support for TIFFTAG_SAMPLEFORMAT in tif_aux.c.

	
 Patched tif_fax3.c so that dsp->runs is allocated a bit bigger

	to avoid overruns encountered with frle_bug.tif.

	
 Modified tif_unix.c to support 2-4GB seeks if USE_64BIT_API is

	  set to 1, and added default (off) setting in tiffconf.h.  This

	  should eventually be set by the configure script somehow.

	  The original work on all these 2-4GB changes was done by 

	  Peter Smith (psmith@creo.com).

	
 Modified tif_win32.c to support 2-4GB seeks.

	
 tentatively changed toff_t to be unsigned instead of signed to

	  facilitate support for 2-4GB files. 

	
  Updated a variety of files to use toff_t.  Fixed some mixups

	      between toff_t and tsize_t.

	
 Set tif_rawdatasize to zero when freeing raw data buffer in

	     TIFFWriteDirectory().

         
 Enabled "REWRITE_HACK" in tif_write.c by default.

         
 Fix bug in tif_write.c when switching between reading one directory

	      and writing to another. 

         
 Made TIFFWriteCheck() public, and added TIFFCreateDirectory()

         
 Added TIFFmemory(3t) functions to libtiff.def.

         
 Added libtiff/libtiff.def to TIFFILES distribution list.

<font size="+3">C</font>HANGES IN THE TOOLS:

	
 fax2ps: Fixed mixup of width and height in bounding box statement

	as per submission by Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>.</nalin@redhat.com>

	
 fax2ps:  Modified printruns to take uint32 instead of uint16.  

	Patch courtesy of Bernt Herd <herd@herdsoft.com> </herd@herdsoft.com>

	
 Largely reimplemented contrib/addtiffo to avoid temp files, 

 	    updating the TIFF file in place.  Fixed a few other bugs to.

       
 Altered descriptions in tools to reflect "by default" lzw not supported

<font size="+3">C</font>HANGES IN THE LZW COMPRESSION KIT

	
created mangle-src.sh -- sed scripts to munge src into LZW enabled format. Thanks to Stanislav Brabec <utx@k332.feld.cvut.cz></utx@k332.feld.cvut.cz>

	
created Makefile

	
merged  tif_dir.c with current source. 

	
  Created lzw compression kit, as a new CVS module (libtiff-lzw-compression-kit). 

	
  Updated index.html to note lzw compression kit.
