<A NAME="libtiff"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN LIBTIFF:</B></A>
<UL>
<li> libtiff/tif_ojpeg.c: Fixed problem with duplicated SOI and SOF
markers as per bug
<a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581"
http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581</a>.
<li> libtiff/{tif_open.c, tiffio.h}: New function added:
TIFFIsBigEndian(). Function returns nonzero if given was file written
in big-endian order.
<li> libtiff/tif_print.c: added (untested) support for printing
SSHORT, SLONG and SRATIONAL fields.
<li> libtiff/tif_fax3.c: Avoid reading CCITT compression options
if compression type mismatches. See
<a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=565">
http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=565</a>.
<li> libtiff/tif_strip.c: Never return 0 from the TIFFNumberOfStrips().
<li> libtiff/tif_dirread.c: Workaround for broken TIFF writers which
store single SampleFormat value for multisampled images. See
<a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562">
http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562</a>.
<li> libtiff/tif_write.c: Allow in-place updating of the compressed
images (don't work properly with all codecs). For details see GDAL bug
<a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=534">
http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=534</a>.
<li> libtiff/tif_jpeg.c: Workaround for wrong sampling factors used
in the Intergarph JPEG compressed TIFF images as per bug:
<a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=532">
http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=532</a>.
<li> libtiff/tif_open.c: Use dummy mmap/munmap functions in
TIFFClientOpen() when the appropriate client functions was not
supplied by user.
<li> libtiff/tif_dirread.c: Fixed problem with handling TIFF_UNDEFINED
tag type in TIFFFetchNormalTag() as per bug
<a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=508"
http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=508</a>.
<li> libtiff/tif_codec.c: Fixed typo in TIFFInitPackBits name as per:
<a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494">
http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494</a>.
<li> libtiff/tif_fax3.c: Fixed problem, introdiced in 3.6.1 release,
with the CCITT encoding modes as per bug
<a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483">
http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483</a>.
We need more work on fax codec to support update mode.
<li> libtiff/tiff.h: Fixed tag definitions for TIFFTAG_YCLIPPATHUNITS
and TIFFTAG_INDEXED as per bug
<a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=475">
http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=475</a>.
<li> libtiff/{tif_win32.c, tif_unix.c}: Check whether the pointer is
NULL before proceeding further as per bug
<a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474">
http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474</a>.
Check results, returned by the TIFFFdOpen() before returning and close
file if TIFFFdOpen() failed as per bug
<a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468">
http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468</a>.
<li> libtiff/{libtiff.def, tif_close.c, tiffio.h, tif_open.c}:

http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468</a>.
<li> libtiff/tif_dirwrite.c: Fixed handling of writable ASCII tags
that are field_passcount=TRUE properly. Arguably anonymous custom
tags should be declared as passcount=FALSE, but I don't want to change
that without a careful review.
<li> libtiff/tif_write.c: Fixed reporting size of the buffer in case
of stripped image in TIFFWriteBufferSetup(). As per bug
<a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=460">
http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=460</a>.
<li> libtiff/tif_dir.c: Incomplete cleanup in TIFFFreeDirectory(),
patch from Gerben Koopmans.
<li> libtiff/tif_dirread.c: Check field_passcount value before setting
the value of undefined type, patch from Gerben Koopmans.
<li> libtiff/{tiff.h, tif_fax3.c}:Fixes for AMD 64 platform as
suggested by Jeremy C. Reed.
<li> libtiff/tif_win32.c: Fixed problem with _TIFFrealloc() when
the NULL pointer passed. Patch supplied by Larry Grill.
