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:

- Changes in the software configuration
- Changes in libtiff
- Changes in the contributed software

CHANGES IN THE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:

- configure now relativizes pathname references given in `-L` options (as frequently specified when configuring ancillary packages)
- problems related to configuring the software on Ultrix 4.4 have been corrected
- the shell to use in Makefiles and scripts can now be set with the `SCRIPT_SH` configuration parameter
- comments in config.site now correctly indicate how to setup the use of ancillary packages

CHANGES IN LIBTIFF:

- mods for building the software on a Mac using the MetroWerks CodeWarrior compilers
- a bug in the CCITT T.4/T.6 decoder was fixed where the last codeword in a strip/tile might not be decoded; this was seen only when decoding multi-strip images
- a bug in the CCITT RLE codecs was fixed whereby the pseudo tags were not being properly registered

CHANGES IN THE CONTRIBUTED SOFTWARE:

- contrib/mac-cw contains information and code from Niles Ritter <ndr@tazboy.jpl.nasa.gov> about building the software with the MetroWerks CodeWarrior compilers on Macintosh systems
