<A NAME="configure"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN THE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:</B></A>
<UL>
<li> Applied patch from Patrick Welche (all scripts moved in the
'config' and 'm4' directories).
<li> SConstruct, libtiff/SConstruct: Added the first very preliminary
support for SCons software building tool (http://www.scons.org/).
This is experimental infrastructure and it will exist along with the
autotools stuff.
<li> port/lfind.c: Added lfind() replacement module.

<A NAME="libtiff"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN LIBTIFF:</B></A>
<UL>
<li> tif_dir.c: When prefreeing tv->value in TIFFSetFieldV
also set it to NULL to avoid double free when re-setting custom
string fields as per:
<a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=922">
http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=922</a>
<li> tif_dir.c: Fixed up support for swapping "double complex"
values (128 bits as 2 64 bits doubles). GDAL gcore tests now
pass on bigendian (macosx) system.
<li> libtiff/{tif_dirread.c, tif_dirinfo.c}: Do not upcast BYTEs to
SHORTs in the TIFFFetchByteArray(). Remove TIFFFetchExtraSamples()
function, use TIFFFetchNormalTag() instead as per bug
<a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=831">
http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=831</a>
Remove TIFFFetchExtraSamples() function, use TIFFFetchNormalTag()
instead.
<li> tif_print.c: Fixed printing of the BYTE and SBYTE arrays.
<li> tif_write.c: Do not check the PlanarConfiguration field in
the TIFFWriteCheck() function in case of single band images (as per
TIFF spec).
<li> libtiff/{tif_dir.c, tif_dir.h, tif_dirinfo.c, tif_print.c}:
Make FieldOfViewCotangent, MatrixWorldToScreen, MatrixWorldToCamera,
ImageFullWidth, ImageFullLength and PrimaryChromaticities tags custom.
