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 tools

CHANGES IN THE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:

- Corrected alpha versioning.
- Removed distinction between alpha and release targets in Makefile.in.
- Added release.stamp target, which tags cvs tree, and updates "RELEASE-DATE"
- Added releasediff target, which diffs tree with source as of date in "RELEASE-DATE"
- Ticked up version to 3.5.2 (alpha 01 -- but I think we'll moving away from alpha/non-alpha distinctions).

CHANGES IN LIBTIFF:

- Added IRIX/gcc, and OSF/1 4.x support on behalf of Albert Chin-A-Young
- Added TIFFReassignTagToIgnore() API on behalf of Bruce Cameron . Man page still pending.
- pre-remove so link before softlink in LINUXdso action in libtiff/Makefile.in to avoid failure on LINUXdso builds other than the first.
- Fixed problem with cvtcmap() in tif_getimage.c modifying the colormaps owned by the TIFF handle itself when trying to fixup wrong (eight bit) colormaps. Corrected by maintaining a private copy of the colormap.
- Added TIFFReadRGBATile()/TIFFReadRGBAStrip() support in tif_getimage.c.
- Applied "a" mode fix to tif_win32.c/TIFFOpen() as suggested by Christopher Lawton
- Set O_BINARY for tif_unix.c open() ... used on cygwin for instance.
- Added CYGWIN case in configure.
- Applied Francois Dagand's patch to handle fax decompression bug. (sizes >= 65536 were failing)

CHANGES IN THE TOOLS:

- Added addtiffo (add overviews to a TIFF file) in contrib. Didn't put it in tools since part of it is in C++.
