  24. This document describes the changes made to the software between the
  25. <I>previous</I> and <I>current</I> versions (see above). If you don't
  26. find something listed here, then it was not done in this timeframe, or
  27. it was not considered important enough to be mentioned. The following

  40. <UL>
  41. <li> Support for configure/build using CMake.
  42. <li> Support for large (> 2GB) files under Microsoft Windows.

  47. <UL>
  48. <LI> CMakeLists.txt / CMake
  49. <UL>
  50. <LI> Configuration and building using CMake is now supported
  51. under Microsoft Windows and on Unix-type systems.
  52. </UL>
  53. </LI>
  54. <LI> configure.ac / configure
  55. <UL>
  56. <LI> Test for and use fseeko() if it is available. This allows
  57. supporting large files on Unix-type systems with a 32-bit 'long'
  58. type and a 64-bit 'off_t' type.

  64. <A NAME="libtiff"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN LIBTIFF:</B></A>
  65. <UL>
  66. <LI> tiffiop.h:
  67. <UL>
  68. <LI> Macros added to use 64-bit equivalents for all standard I/O
  69. and POSIX APIs used by libtiff and its tools which are limited
  70. to 2GB in Windows builds. Note that these 64-bit equivalents
  71. were introduced by the CRT provided with Visual Studio 2005 and
  72. if the necessary CRT is not installed on the target computer,
  73. the program will not run. The wrapper macros will not be
  74. activated unless the definition _MSC_VER is at least 1400 or
  75. __MSVCRT_VERSION__ is at least 0x800.
  76. </UL>
  77. <LI> tif_unix.c:
  78. <UL>
  79. <LI> Updated to support large files under Microsoft Windows.
  80. This makes tif_unix.c a completely viable candidate for use
  81. under Windows (in spite of its name) if the CRT is modern
  82. enough. Please note that tif_win32.c already supported large
  83. files, but only 'tiffinfo' and 'tiffdump' made any provision to
  84. support large files under Windows.
  85. <LI> _tiffReadProc() and _tiffWriteProc() are modified to chunk
  86. I/O to a maximum size of 2GB for extremely large I/O
  87. requests. This surmounts limitations in the Microsoft Windows
  88. read() and write() APIs (which are limited to the range of a
  89. 32-bit 'int'), and may avoid poor behavior with extremely large
  90. I/O requests on other systems.
