|
|
roentgen |

|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
It is now possible to setup the software to build only the
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
library; configure reconizes this is the intent when the
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
VERSION, tiff.alpha, and tif_version.c
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
files are in the local directory (i.e. ``.'')
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
configure no longer tries to setup HTML materials
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
include file directories needed in building the library are now
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
specified with a <TT>DIRS_LIBINC</TT> config parameter
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
configure no longer checks for alternate compilers if <TT>CC</TT>
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
is set; if the specified compiler is not found or is not appropriate
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
the configuration procedure aborts
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
the port.h file generated by configure is now used only by
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
the library and as such as have been moved to the libtiff
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
directory
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
there is beginning support for building DSO's on systems other than IRIX
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
configure now verifies the JPEG and zlib directory pathnames by
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
checking for well-known include files in these directories
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
configure no longer creates the dist directory needed only
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
on SGI machines (for building SGI binary distributions)
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
a bug was fixed whereby configure would incorrectly set
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
<TT>ENVOPTS</TT> when building the software with gcc under AIX

|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
|

roentgen |
b75cab |
two new typedefs were added to tiff.h</TT>: <TT>int8</TT>
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
and <TT>uint8</TT> for signed and unsigned 8-bit quantities,
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
respectively; these are currently used only by
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
programs in the tools directory
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
the <TT>BadFaxLines</TT>, <TT>CleanFaxData</TT>, and
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
<TT>ConsecutiveBadFaxLines tags are now supported with
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
Group 4 compression
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
byte order is now correctly identified on 64-bit machines
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
a bug was fixed in the PackBits decoder where input data would
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
appear short when a no-op run was present
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
a bug was fixed in calculations with very wide strips
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
<TT>TIFFWriteEncodedStrip</TT> and <TT>TIFFWriteRawStrip</TT>
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
were extended to support dynamically growing the number of
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
strips in an image (must set <TT>ImageLength</TT> prior to
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
making calls though)
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
<TT>TIFFDefaultTileSize</TT> now rounds tile width and height
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
up to a multiple of 16 pixels, as required by the TIFF 6.0 specification
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
the file version.h is now built by a new mkversion
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
program; this was done for portability to non-UNIX systems
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
support was added for the Acorn RISC OS (from Peter Greenham)
|
|
roentgen |
b75cab |
the builtin codec table is now made <TT>const</TT> when compiling

under VMS so that libtiff can be built as a shared library

various portability fixes; mostly to eliminate implicit assumptions
|
