- <li> LZW compression enabled by default. You don't need the separate
- compression kit anymore.
- <li> bmp2tiff: Added new utility to convert Windows BMP files
- into TIFFs.
- <li> The first attempt to implement a test suite.

- <A NAME="libtiff"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN LIBTIFF:</B></A>
- <UL>
- <li> libtiff/{tif_luv.c, tif_next.c, tif_thunder.c}: Several buffer
- overruns fixed, as noted by Chris Evans.
- <li> BSD data types (u_char, u_short, u_int, u_long) is no longer
- used internally in the libtiff. Should result in simpler configuration
- and better portability.
- <li> libtiff/tiff.h: Fix column tagging. Reference current Adobe XMP
- specification. Reference libtiff bug tracking system to submit
- private tag additions.
- <li> libtiff/tif_dirread.c: Don't reject to read tags of the
- SamplesPerPixel size when the tag count is greater than number of
- samples as per bug
- <A HREF="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=576">
- http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=576</A>.
- <li> libtiff/{tiffio.h, tif_open.c}: Applied patches from
- Joris Van Damme to avoid requirement for tiffiop.h inclusion in
- some applications. Look for details here:
- <A HREF="http://www.asmail.be/msg0054799560.html">

- <li> libtiff/tif_lzw.c: LZW compression code is merged back from the
- separate package. All libtiff tools are updated to not advertise an
- abcence of LZW support.
- <li> libtiff/tif_dir.c: Call TIFFError() instead of producing warnings
- when setting custom tags by value. Reported by Eric Fieleke.
