-<h3>Custom Tag Support</h3>
-
-The approach to extending libtiff with custom tags has changed radically.
-Previously, all internally supported TIFF tags had a place in the
-private TIFFDirectory structure within libtiff to hold the values (if read),
-and a "field number" (ie. FIELD_SUBFILETYPE) used to identify that tag.
-However, every time a new tag was added to the core, the size of the
-TIFFDirectory structure would changing, breaking any dynamically linked
-software that used the private data structures.<p>
-
-Also, any tag not recognised
-by libtiff would not be read and accessable to applications without some
-fairly complicated work on the applications part to pre-register the tags
-as exemplified by the support for "Geo"TIFF tags by libgeotiff layered on
-libtiff. <p>
-
-Amoung other things this approach required the extension code
-to access the private libtiff structures ... which made the higher level
-non-libtiff code be locked into a specific version of libtiff at compile time.
-This caused no end of bug reports!<p>
-
-The new approach is for libtiff to read all tags from TIFF files. Those that
-aren't recognised as "core tags" (those having an associated FIELD_ value,
-and place for storage in the TIFFDirectory structure) are now read into a
-dynamic list of extra tags (td_customValues in TIFFDirectory). When a new
-tag code is encountered for the first time in a given TIFF file, a new
-anonymous tag definition is created for the tag in the tag definition list.
-The type, and some other metadata is worked out from the instance encountered.
-These fields are known as "custom tags". <p>
-
-Custom tags can be set and fetched normally using TIFFSetField() and
-TIFFGetField(), and appear pretty much like normal tags to application code.
-However, they have no impact on internal libtiff processing (such as
-compression). Some utilities, such as tiffcp will now copy these custom
-tags to the new output files. <p>
-
-As well as the internal work with custom tags, new C API entry points
-were added so that extension libraries, such as libgeotiff, could
-define new tags more easily without accessing internal data structures.
-Because tag handling of extension tags is done via the "custom fields"
-mechanism as well, the definition provided externally mostly serves to provide
-a meaningful name for the tag.
-
-The addition of "custom tags" and the altered approach to extending libtiff
-with externally defined tags is the primary reason for the shift to the
-3.6.x version number from 3.5.x.<p>

-
-<A NAME="libtiff"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN LIBTIFF:</B></A>
-
-<UL>
-
-<li> libtiff/tif_getimage.c: New function <A
-HREF="./man/TIFFReadRGBAImage.3t.html">TIFFReadRGBAImageOriented()</A>
-implemented to retrieve raster array with user-specified origin position.
-
-<li> libtiff/tif_fax3.c: Fix wrong line numbering.
-
-<li> libtiff/tif_dirread.c: Check field counter against number of fields.
-
-<li> Store a list of opened IFD to prevent directory looping.
-
-<li> libtiff/tif_jpeg.c: modified segment_height calculation to always
-be a full height tile for tiled images. Also changed error to just
-be a warning.
-
-<li> libtiff/tif_lzw.c: fixed so that decoder state isn't allocated till
-LZWSetupDecode(). Needed to read LZW files in "r+" mode.
-
-<li> libtiff/tif_dir.c: fixed up the tif_postdecode settings responsible
-for byte swapping complex image data.
-
-<li> libtiff/tif_open.c: Removed error if opening a compressed file
-in update mode bug (198).
-
-<li> libtiff/tif_write.c: TIFFWriteCheck() now fails if the image is
-a pre-existing compressed image. That is, image writing to pre-existing
-compressed images is not allowed.
-
-<li> html/man/*.html: Web pages regenerated from man pages.
-
-<li> libtiff/tif_jpeg.c: Hack to ensure that "boolean" is defined properly
-on Windows so as to avoid the structure size mismatch error from libjpeg
-(bug 188).
-
-<li> libtiff/tiff.h: #ifdef USING_VISUALAGE around previous Visual Age
-AIX porting hack as it screwed up gcc. (bug 39)
-
-<li> libtiff/tiff.h: added COMPRESSION_JP2000 (34712) for LEAD tools
-custom compression.
-
-<li> libtiff/tif_dirread.c: Another fix for the fetching SBYTE arrays
-by the TIFFFetchByteArray() function. (bug 52)
-
-<li> libtiff/tif_dirread.c: Expand v[2] to v[4] in TIFFFetchShortPair()
-as per bug 196.
-
-<li> libtiff/tif_lzw.c: Additional consistency checking added in
-LZWDecode() and LZWDecodeCompat() fixing bugs 190 and 100.
-
-<li> libtiff/tif_lzw.c: Added check for valid code lengths in LZWDecode()
-and LZWDecodeCompat(). Fixes bug 115.
-
-<li> tif_getimage.c: Ensure that TIFFRGBAImageBegin() returns the
-return code from the underlying pick function as per bug 177.
-
-<li> libtiff/{tif_jpeg.c,tif_strip.c,tif_print.c}: Hacked tif_jpeg.c to
-fetch TIFFTAG_YCBCRSUBSAMPLING from the jpeg data stream if it isn't
-present in the tiff tags as per bug 168.
-
-<li> libtiff/tif_jpeg.c: Fixed problem with setting of nrows in
-JPEGDecode() as per bug 129.
-
-<li> libtiff/tif_read.c, libtiff/tif_write.c: TIFFReadScanline() and
-TIFFWriteScanline() now set tif_row explicitly in case the codec has
-fooled with the value as per bug 129.
-
-<li> libtiff/tif_ojpeg.c: Major upgrade from Scott. Details in bug 156.
-
-<li> libtiff/tif_open.c: Pointers to custom procedures
-in TIFFClientOpen() are checked to be not NULL-pointers.
-
-<li> libtiff/tif_lzw.c: Assertions in LZWDecode and LZWDecodeCompat
-replaced by warnings. Now libtiff should read corrupted LZW-compressed
-files by skipping bad strips as per bug 100.
-
-<li> libtiff/: tif_dirwrite.c, tif_write.c, tiffio.h:
-<a href=./man/TIFFWriteDirectory.3t.html>TIFFCheckpointDirectory()</a>
-routine added as per bug 124. The
-<a href=./man/TIFFWriteDirectory.3t.html>TIFFWriteDirectory</a>
-man page discusses this new function as well as the related
-<a href=./man/TIFFWriteDirectory.3t.html>TIFFRewriteDirectory()</a>.
-
-<li> libtiff/: tif_codec.c, tif_compress.c, tiffiop.h, tif_getimage.c:
-Introduced
-additional members tif->tif_decodestatus and tif->tif_encodestatus
-for correct handling of unconfigured codecs (we should not try to read
-data or to define data size without correct codecs). See bug 119.
-
-<li> tif_dirread.c: avoid div-by-zero if rowbytes is zero in chop func as
-per bug 111.
-
-<li> libtiff/: tiff.h, tif_dir.c, tif_dir.h, tif_dirinfo.c, tif_dirread.c,
-tif_dirwrite.c: Dwight Kelly added get/put code for new tag XMLPACKET as
-defined in Adobe XMP Technote. Added missing INKSET tag value from TIFF 6.0
-spec INKSET_MULTIINK (=2). Added missing tags from Adobe TIFF technotes:
-CLIPPATH, XCLIPPATHUNITS, YCLIPPATHUNITS, OPIIMAGEID, OPIPROXY and
-INDEXED. Added PHOTOMETRIC tag value from TIFF technote 4 ICCLAB (=9).
-
-<li> libtiff/tif_getimage.c: Additional check for supported codecs added in
-TIFFRGBAImageOK, TIFFReadRGBAImage, TIFFReadRGBAStrip and TIFFReadRGBATile now
-use TIFFRGBAImageOK before reading a per bug 110.
-
-<li> libtiff/: tif_dir.c, tif_dir.h, tif_dirinfo.c, tif_dirread.c,
-tif_dirwrite.c: Added routine
-<a href=./man/TIFFDataWidth.3t.html>TIFFDataWidth</a> for determining
-TIFFDataType sizes instead of working with tiffDataWidth array
-directly as per bug 109.
-
-<li>libtiff/: tif_dirinfo.c, tif_dirwrite.c: Added possibility to
-read broken TIFFs with LONG type used for TIFFTAG_COMPRESSION,
-TIFFTAG_BITSPERSAMPLE, TIFFTAG_PHOTOMETRIC as per bug 99.
-
-<li> libtiff/{tiff.h,tif_fax3.c}: Add support for __arch64__ as per bug 94.
-
-<li> libtiff/tif_read.c: Fixed TIFFReadEncodedStrip() to fail if the
-decodestrip function returns anything not greater than zero as per bug 97.
-
-<li> libtiff/tif_jpeg.c: fixed computation of segment_width for
-tiles files to avoid error about it not matching the
-cinfo.d.image_width values ("JPEGPreDecode: Improper JPEG strip/tile
-size.") for ITIFF files. Apparently the problem was incorporated since
-3.5.5, presumably during the OJPEG/JPEG work recently.
-
-<li> libtiff/tif_getimage.c: If DEFAULT_EXTRASAMPLE_AS_ALPHA is 1
-(defined in tiffconf.h - 1 by default) then the RGBA interface
-will assume that a fourth extra sample is ASSOCALPHA if the
-EXTRASAMPLE value isn't set for it. This changes the behaviour of
-the library, but makes it work better with RGBA files produced by
-lots of applications that don't mark the alpha values properly.
-As per bugs 93 and 65.
-
-<li> libtiff/tif_jpeg.c: allow jpeg data stream sampling values to
-override those from tiff directory. This makes this work with
-ImageGear generated files.
