- <A NAME="highlights"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>M</FONT>AJOR CHANGES:</B></A>
- <UL>
- <li> Support for configure/build using CMake.
- <li> Support for large (> 2GB) files under Microsoft Windows.
- </UL>

- <!--------------------------------------------------------------------------->
- <A NAME="configure"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN THE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:</B></A>
- <UL>
- <LI> CMakeLists.txt / CMake
- <UL>
- <LI> Configuration and building using CMake is now supported
- under Microsoft Windows and on Unix-type systems.
- </UL>
- </LI>
- <LI> configure.ac / configure
- <UL>
- <LI> Test for and use fseeko() if it is available. This allows
- supporting large files on Unix-type systems with a 32-bit 'long'
- type and a 64-bit 'off_t' type.

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