CHANGES IN THE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:
- Make the default strip size configurable via the
--with-default-strip-size and STRIP_SIZE_DEFAULT options.
CHANGES IN LIBTIFF:
- tiffio.h: Added VC_EXTRALEAN definition before including
windows.h, to reduce the compile time.
- tif_jpeg.c: Improve compilation under MinGW.
- {tif_aux.c, tif_dir.c, tif_dir.h, tif_dirwrite.c,
tif_print.c, tif_getimage.c}: Make InkSet, NumberOfInks, DotRange and
StoNits tags custom.
- {tif_aux.c, tif_dir.c, tif_dir.h, tif_print.c}: Make
WhitePoint tag custom.
- tiffio.h: fixed typo that potentially resulted in
redefininition of USE_WIN32_FILEIO
- {tif_dir.c, tif_dir.h, tif_print.c}: Make RichTIFFIPTC,
Photoshop and ICCProfile tags custom.
- libtiff/*, contrib/*: Added 'dual-mode' error handling, enabling
newer code to get context indicator in error handler and still
remain compatible with older code: Done TIFFError calls everywhere
except in tools.
- tiffinfo.c: Print EXIF directory contents if exist.
- {tif_dirinfo.c, tif_dirread.c, tif_dir.h, tif_dir.c}:
Custom directory read-only support.
- {tif_aux.c, tif_dirinfo.c, tif_dirread.c, tif_dir.h,
tif_dir.c, tif_print.c}: Make YCbCrCoefficients and ReferenceBlackWhite
tags custom.
- tif_dirread.c: One more workaround for broken StripByteCounts
tag. Handle the case when StripByteCounts array filled with
completely wrong values.
- tif_dirinfo.c: Release file descriptor in case of failure
in the TIFFOpenW() function as per bug
http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1003
