+
+<ul>
+ <li> New utility <a href="./man/tiff2pdf.1.html">tiff2pdf</a>
+ for converting TIFF images directly into PDF.
+ <li> New <a href="./man/TIFFcolor.3t.html">color conversion module</a>.
+ <li> Full support for Orientation tag in
+ <a href="./man/TIFFReadRGBAImage.3t.html">TIFFRGBAImage</a> interface.
+ <li> Many bugs fixed.

+<A NAME="configure"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN THE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:</B></A>
+
+<UL>
+
+<li> libtiff/makefile.vc, tools/makefile.vc: Support for IJG JPEG library.
+
+<li> Makefile.in: Add an absolute path to the test_pics.sh call.
+
+<li> Makefile.in: Add an absolute path to the test_pics.sh call.
+
+<li> libtiff/tiffcomp.h: #define _BSDTYPES_DEFINED when defining BSD typedefs.
+
+<li> configure, libtiff/{Makefile.in, mkversion.c}: Relative buildings fixed.

+<A NAME="libtiff"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN LIBTIFF:</B></A>
+
+<UL>
+
+<li> libtiff/{tif_color.c, tif_getimage.c, tiffio.h}: Added support
+for ReferenceBlackWhite tag handling when converted from YCbCr color space as
+per bug 120.
+
+<li> libtiff/{tif_getimage.c, tif_aux.c}: Read WhitePoint tag from the
+file and properly use it for CIE Lab 1976 to RGB transform.
+
+<li> libtiff/{tif_getimage.c, tiffio.h}: Finally resolved problems with
+orientation handling. TIFFRGBAImage interface now properly supports all
+possible orientations, i.e. images will be flipped both in horizontal and
+vertical directions if required. 'Known bugs' section now removed from the
+appropriate manual pages.
+
+<li> libtiff/tif_luv.c: Fixed bug in 48-bit to 24-bit conversion routine,
+reported by Antonio Scuri.
+
+<li> libtiff/{tiffio.h, tif_codec.c}: Added new function
+TIFFIsCODECConfigured(), suggested by Ross Finlayson.
+
+<li> libtiff/tif_ojpeg.c: TIFFVGetField() function now can properly extract
+the fields from the OJPEG files. Patch supplied by Ross Finlayson.
+
+<li> libtiff/tif_dir.h: _TIFFFindOrRegisterdInfo declaration replaced
+with _TIFFFindOrRegisterFieldInfo as reported by Ross Finlayson.
+
+<li> libtiff/tif_dirinfo.c: Implemented binary search in _TIFFMergeFieldInfo().
+Patch supplied by Ross Finlayson.
+
+<li> tif_dirread.c: do not mark all anonymously defined tags to be IGNOREd (as
+it was done in 3.6.0).
+
+<li> libtiff/{tiff.h, tif_dirinfo.c}: Added support for IFD (13) datatype,
+intruduced in "Adobe PageMaker TIFF Technical Notes".
+
+<li> libtiff/{tif_color.c, tif_getimage.c, tiffio.h}: New color space
+conversion code: CIE L*a*b* 1976 images now supported by the TIFFRGBAImage
+interface. YCbCr to RGB conversion code also moved there and now has
+<a href="./man/TIFFcolor.3t.html">publicly available interface</a>. These
+routines currently used in TIFFRGBAImage interface only and not supported in
+other libtiff tools yet. So if you want, for example, to convert CIE Lab image
+into PostScript file you should do it in two steps: chnge colorspace to RGB
+using <a href="./man/tiff2rgba.1.html">tiff2rgba</a> utility abd then process
+it with the <a href="./man/tiff2ps.1.html">tiff2ps</a>.
+
+<li> libtiff/tif_tile.c: Remove spurious use of "s" (sample) in the
+planarconfig_contig case in TIFFComputeTile() as per bug 387
+
+<li> libtiff/tiffiop.h: New macros: TIFFmax and TIFFmin.
+
+<li> libtiff/{tiffio.h, tif_strip.c}: Added TIFFRawStripSize() function
+as suggested by Chris Hanson.
+
+<li> libtiff/{tif_lzw.c, tif_fax3.c}: Proper support for update mode
+as per bug 424.

+
+<UL>
+
+<li> <a href=./man/tiff2pdf.1.html>tiff2pdf</a>: New tool, written by
+Ross Finlayson, to directly convert TIFF files to PDF.
+
+<li> <a href=./man/tiffgt.1.html>tiffgt</a>: Unmaintained and platform
+dependent sgigt utility removed and replaced with the completely rewritten
+portable <a href=./man/tiffgt.1.html>tiffgt</a> tool (depend on OpenGL and
+GLUT). This tool will not build by default.
+
+<li> <a href=./man/ras2tiff.1.html>ras2tiff</a>: Properly determine
+SUN Rasterfiles with the reverse byte order (it is reported by the magic
+header field). Problem reported by Andreas Wiesmann.
+
+<li> <a href=./man/raw2tiff.1.html>raw2tiff</a>: Implemented image size
+guessing using correlation coefficient calculation between two neighbour
+lines.
