Changes in TIFF v3.7.0alpha =========================== .. table:: References :widths: auto ====================== ========================================== Current Version v3.7.0alpha (:tag:`Release-v3-7-0-alpha`) Previous Version :doc:`v3.6.1 ` Master Download Site ``_ Master HTTP Site ``_ ====================== ========================================== This document describes the changes made to the software between the *previous* and *current* versions (see above). If you don't find something listed here, then it was not done in this timeframe, or it was not considered important enough to be mentioned. The following information is located here: Major changes ------------- * Significant changes in software configuration: we are switched to GNU autotools now. * :program:`tiffset`: Set any libtiff supported tags. Tags can be supplied by the mnemonic name or number. Software configuration changes ------------------------------ * Get rid of the old configuration system and switch to GNU autotools. Library changes --------------- * :file:`libtiff/tif_ojpeg.c`: Fixed problem with duplicated ``SOI`` and ``SOF`` markers as per bug :bugzilla-rs:`581`. * :file:`libtiff/tif_open.c`, :file:`libtiff/tiffio.h`: New function added: :c:func:`TIFFIsBigEndian`. Function returns nonzero if given was file written in big-endian order. * :file:`libtiff/tif_print.c`: added (untested) support for printing ``SSHORT``, ``SLONG`` and ``SRATIONAL`` fields. * :file:`libtiff/tif_fax3.c`: Avoid reading CCITT compression options if compression type mismatches. See :bugzilla-rs:`565`. * :file:`libtiff/tif_strip.c`: Never return 0 from the :c:func:`TIFFNumberOfStrips`. * :file:`libtiff/tif_dirread.c`: Workaround for broken TIFF writers which store single ``SampleFormat`` value for multisampled images. See :bugzilla-rs:`562`. * :file:`libtiff/tif_write.c`: Allow in-place updating of the compressed images (don't work properly with all codecs). For details see GDAL bug :bugzilla-rs:`534`. * :file:`libtiff/tif_jpeg.c`: Workaround for wrong sampling factors used in the Intergarph JPEG compressed TIFF images as per bug: :bugzilla-rs:`532`. * :file:`libtiff/tif_open.c`: Use dummy :c:func:`mmap`/:c:func:`munmap` functions in :c:func:`TIFFClientOpen` when the appropriate client functions was not supplied by user. * :file:`libtiff/tif_dirread.c`: Fixed problem with handling :c:enumerator:`TIFF_UNDEFINED` tag type in :c:func:`TIFFFetchNormalTag` as per bug :bugzilla-rs:`508`. * :file:`libtiff/tif_codec.c`: Fixed typo in ``TIFFInitPackBits`` name as per: :bugzilla-rs:`494`. * :file:`libtiff/tif_fax3.c`: Fixed problem, introdiced in 3.6.1 release, with the CCITT encoding modes as per bug :bugzilla-rs:`483`. We need more work on fax codec to support update mode. * :file:`libtiff/tiff.h`: Fixed tag definitions for :c:macro:`TIFFTAG_YCLIPPATHUNITS` and :c:macro:`TIFFTAG_INDEXED` as per bug :bugzilla-rs:`475`. * :file:`libtiff/tif_win32.c`, :file:`libtiff/tif_unix.c`: Check whether the pointer is :c:macro:`NULL` before proceeding further as per bug :bugzilla-rs:`474`. Check results, returned by the :c:func:`TIFFFdOpen` before returning and close file if :c:func:`TIFFFdOpen` failed as per bug :bugzilla-rs:`468`. * :file:`libtiff/libtiff.def`, :file:`libtiff/tif_close.c`, :file:`libtiff/tiffio.h`, :file:`libtiff/tif_open.c`: Separate :c:func:`TIFFCleanup` from the :c:func:`TIFFClose` in order to fix the bug :bugzilla-rs:`468`. * :file:`libtiff/tif_dirwrite.c`: Fixed handling of writable ASCII tags that are ``field_passcount=TRUE`` properly. Arguably anonymous custom tags should be declared as ``passcount=FALSE``, but I don't want to change that without a careful review. * :file:`libtiff/tif_write.c`: Fixed reporting size of the buffer in case of stripped image in :c:func:`TIFFWriteBufferSetup`. As per bug :bugzilla-rs:`460`. * :file:`libtiff/tif_dir.c`: Incomplete cleanup in :c:func:`TIFFFreeDirectory`, patch from Gerben Koopmans. * :file:`libtiff/tif_dirread.c`: Check :c:member:`field_passcount` value before setting the value of undefined type, patch from Gerben Koopmans. * :file:`libtiff/tiff.h`, :file:`libtiff/tif_fax3.c`: Fixes for AMD 64 platform as suggested by Jeremy C. Reed. * :file:`libtiff/tif_win32.c`: Fixed problem with :c:func:`_TIFFrealloc` when the :c:macro:`NULL` pointer passed. Patch supplied by Larry Grill. Tools changes ------------- * :program:`tiffset`: Set any libtiff supported tags. Tags can be supplied by the mnemonic name or number. * :file:`ycbcr.c`: fixed :c:func:`main` declaration as per: :bugzilla-rs:`513`. * :program:`tiffsplit`: Don't forget to copy ``PhotometricInterpretation`` tag. * :program:`tiffsplit`: * Fixed problem with unproperly written multibyte files. Now output files will be written using the same byte order flag as in the input image. See :bugzilla-rs:`574`. * Copy ``JPEGTables`` tag contents for JPEG compressed images. Reported by Artem Mirolubov. * :program:`tiffcp`: * Close output file on normal exit. * Don't emit warnings when ``Orientation`` tag does not present in the input image. * Properly set Photometric Interpretation in case of JPEG compression of grayscale images. * Fixed problem with wrong interpretation of the ``InkNames`` tag as per bug :bugzilla-rs:`466`. Memory leak fixed. * Fixed problem with wrong ``PhotometricInterpretation`` setting for non-RGB images. Contributed software changes ---------------------------- * Outdated stuff removed. * Almost all programs are synchronized with the current libtiff and should compile without problems. LZW compression kit changes --------------------------- * No changes.
