+ <li> libtiff/tif_ojpeg.c: Fixed problem with duplicated SOI and SOF
+ markers as per bug
+ <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581"
+ http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581</a>.

+ in big-endian order.
+
+ <li> libtiff/tif_print.c: added (untested) support for printing
+ SSHORT, SLONG and SRATIONAL fields.
+
+ <li> libtiff/tif_fax3.c: Avoid reading CCITT compression options
+ if compression type mismatches. See
+ <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=565">
+ http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=565</a>.
+
+ <li> libtiff/tif_strip.c: Never return 0 from the TIFFNumberOfStrips().
+
+ <li> libtiff/tif_dirread.c: Workaround for broken TIFF writers which
+ store single SampleFormat value for multisampled images. See
+ <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562">
+ http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562</a>.
+
+ <li> libtiff/tif_write.c: Allow in-place updating of the compressed
+ images (don't work properly with all codecs). For details see GDAL bug
+ <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=534">
+ http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=534</a>.
+
+ <li> libtiff/tif_jpeg.c: Workaround for wrong sampling factors used
+ in the Intergarph JPEG compressed TIFF images as per bug:
+ <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=532">
+ http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=532</a>.
+
+ <li> libtiff/tif_open.c: Use dummy mmap/munmap functions in
+ TIFFClientOpen() when the appropriate client functions was not
+ supplied by user.
+
+ <li> libtiff/tif_dirread.c: Fixed problem with handling TIFF_UNDEFINED
+ tag type in TIFFFetchNormalTag() as per bug
+ <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=508"
+ http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=508</a>.
+
+ <li> libtiff/tif_codec.c: Fixed typo in TIFFInitPackBits name as per:
+ <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494">
+ http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494</a>.
+
+ <li> libtiff/tif_fax3.c: Fixed problem, introdiced in 3.6.1 release,
+ with the CCITT encoding modes as per bug
+ <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483">
+ http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483</a>.
+ We need more work on fax codec to support update mode.
+
+ <li> libtiff/tiff.h: Fixed tag definitions for TIFFTAG_YCLIPPATHUNITS
+ and TIFFTAG_INDEXED as per bug
+ <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=475">
+ http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=475</a>.
+
+ <li> libtiff/{tif_win32.c, tif_unix.c}: Check whether the pointer is
+ NULL before proceeding further as per bug
+ <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474">
+ http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474</a>.

+ http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468</a>.
+
+ <li> 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.
+
+ <li> libtiff/tif_write.c: Fixed reporting size of the buffer in case
+ of stripped image in TIFFWriteBufferSetup(). As per bug
+ <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=460">
+ http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=460</a>.
+
+ <li> libtiff/tif_dir.c: Incomplete cleanup in TIFFFreeDirectory(),
+ patch from Gerben Koopmans.
+
+ <li> libtiff/tif_dirread.c: Check field_passcount value before setting
+ the value of undefined type, patch from Gerben Koopmans.
+
+ <li> libtiff/{tiff.h, tif_fax3.c}:Fixes for AMD 64 platform as
+ suggested by Jeremy C. Reed.
