-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.
-The following information is located here:

-<p>
-The ChangeLog will follow, but please note the most important change:
-LZW compression has been removed.
-<p>
-Unisys has the patent on LZW compression and have been very active in
-their enforcement of late, demanding payments of $5000 or more from
-websites using unlicensed software to create GIF's. They could well
-do the same do persons using libtiff to create LZW compressed TIFF
-images.
-<p>
-From <A HREF=http://burnallgifs.org>Burn All GIF's Day</a>:
-<br>
-<em>The catch is that it appears to be difficult or impossible to get a
-Unisys license to use LZW in free software that complies with the Open
-Source Definition</em>
-<P>
-Unfortunatly, the removal of LZW compression means that saved image size has
-grown dramatically. Without a change in the TIFF spec to support
-another lossless compression format, this is unavoidable.
-<P>
-The library can use zip for lossless compression, but as this is not
-part of the spec, TIFFs using zip compression may not work with other
-software
-<P>
-We will be making a patch available that will contain the LZW
-compression code for users who have either obtained a license from
-Unisys or are willing to risk it.
-<p>
-LZW decompression is unchanged.
