-This document describes the changes made to the software between the -previous and current 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: -

-

-The ChangeLog will follow, but please note the most important change: -LZW compression has been removed. -

-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. -

-From Burn All GIF's Day: -
-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 -

-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. -

-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 -

-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. -

-LZW decompression is unchanged. -
