+This document describes the changes made to the software between the
+<I>previous</I> and <I>current</I> 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.

+<A NAME="configure"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN THE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:</B></A>
+
+<UL>
+<LI>a <TT>-noninteractive</TT> flag was added to configure to
+ control whether or not it prints and prompts for configuration information
+<LI>various typos and fixes were made in configure for the the
+ library-only build support (this and other configure fixes from
+ Richard Mlynarik <A HREF=mailto:mly@adoc.xerox.com>&lt;mly@adoc.xerox.com&gt;</A>)
+<LI>bugs were fixed in the handling of pathnames supplied for external
+ packages; e.g. <TT>DIR_JPEG</TT>
+<LI>the handling of <TT>SETMAKE</TT> is now done properly
+<LI>the default prototype function declaration for <TT>pow</TT> was corrected
+<LI>a bug was fixed in <B>libtiff/Makefile.in</B> that caused installation
+ to fail on systems without DSO support
+</UL>

+<A NAME="libtiff"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN LIBTIFF:</B></A>
+
+<UL>
+<LI>Acorn RISC O/S support that was accidentally left out of the
+ left out of the previous distribution is present (from Peter Greenham)
+<LI>complaints about unknown and/or unsupported codecs have been
+ delayed until they are invoked; this permits applications to open
+ images and look at tags even if the image data is compressed with
+ an unknown/unsupported compression scheme
+<LI>bugs in handling unknown tags have been corrected; applications
+ that use multiple codecs, each with codec-specific tags, no longer
+ generate confusing error messages
+<LI>a missing pseudo-tag definition in the CCITT G3 codec was fixed
+ (this problem caused core dumps in the <TT>tiffcp</TT> program)
+<LI>pseudo-tags are now treated specially; they are always considered
+ to be set (i.e. they do not use bits in the <TT>FIELD_*</TT> bit-vectors).
+<LI>the use of strip chopping can now be controlled on a per-file basis
+ through a mode parameter supplied when opening a file (``C'' to
+ enable strip chopping and ``c'' to disable)
+<LI>two bugs were fixed in the writing of opposite-endian byte-order
+ files
+<LI>support was added for three new fax-related tags registered to
+ SGI: FaxRecvParams, FaxRecvTime, and FaxSubAddress
+<LI>the bit order of image data read and written can now be controlled
+ on a per-file basis through a mode parameter supplied when opening
+ a file (``B'' to force MSB2LSB bit order, ``L'' for LSB2MSB bit
+ order, and ``H'' for the bit order of the native CPU)
+<LI>the byte order of image and tag data written to newly-created files
+ can now be controlled on a per-file basis through a mode parameter
+ supplied when openening a file (``b'' to force Big-Endian byte order
+ and ``l'' to force Little-Endian byte order)
+<LI>the use memory-mapped files for images opened read-only can now
+ be controlled on a per-file basis through a mode parameter supplied
+ when opening a file (``M'' to enable use of memory-mapped files
+ and ``m'' to disable use)
+<LI>the use of the <TT>WIN32</TT> define in <B>tiffiop.h</B> has
+ been replaced by <TT>__WIN32__</TT>

+
+<A NAME="tools"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN THE TOOLS:</B></A>
+
+<UL>
+<LI><TT>fax2ps</TT> now does a <TT>save</TT> and <TT>restore</TT>
+ around each page of PostScript; this fixes a problem with VM
+ overflow when printing a many-page document on some printers
+<LI>a bug in the handling of 3-channel images by <TT>ras2tiff</TT>
+ was fixed
+<LI><TT>tiffcp</TT> has new options to control the byte order of
+ newly created files: <B>-B</B> for Big-Endian byte order, <B>-L</B>
+ for Little-Endian byte order; a <B>-M</B> option to disable the
+ use of memory-mapped files, and a <B>-C</B> option to disable the
+ use of strip chopping
+<LI>bugs were fixed in <TT>tiffcp</TT>'s handling of codec-specific tags
