<A NAME="libtiff"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN LIBTIFF:</B></A>

<UL>
	<li> Fix a couple of issues that trigger failures in some
	cases when using TIFFReadScanline() with JPEG compressed
	subsampled ycbcr images.
	http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1936

	<li> Ensure tile and scanline sizes are reset when moving to
	new directories.
	http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1936

	<li> Do not generate a JPEGTables tag when creating the JPEG
	TIFF as is is not required in order to prevent it from being
	unused and filled with invalid data.  (Leave it to be
	generated by later activity.)
	http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2135

	<li> Don't return error on badly-terminated MMR strips.
	http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2029

	<li> Have TIFFTAG_REFERENCEBLACKWHITE always print 6 floats
	instead of 2*SamplesPerPixel.
	http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2186

	<li> Ensure that JPEG quality is always set in
	JPEGPreEncode(), not just when we want to output local tables.
	Otherwise the quality used during compression may not be right
	and might not match the tables in the tables tag.  This bug
	only occurs when seeking between directories in the midst of
	writing blocks.  http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/3539

	<li> OJPEG: Report an error and avoid a crash if the input
	file is so broken that the strip offsets are not defined.

	<li> Eliminate FAX3 decoder buffer overrun possibility
	(CVE-2010-1411).

	<li> Restore ReferenceBlackWhite as a non-custom field.  This
	avoids a multi-thread reentrancy problem as well as fixing
	output of wrong tag value due to redundant definitions for the
	same tag in the tiffFieldInfo[] array.  Resolves
	http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2185

<A NAME="tools"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN THE TOOLS:</B></A>

<UL>

        <li> tiff2pdf: Write the JPEG SOI headers into the TIFF strip
        data rather than skipping them.  This fixes the ability to view in
        Acrobat Reader, Evince, and Ghostscript.
        http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2135

        <li> ppm2tiff: While case for parsing comment line
        requires extra parenthesis to work as expected.  Reported by
        Thomas Sinclair.

        <li> tiffcp: add a new option -x to force merged tiff
        file PAGENUMBER value in sequence for users who care the page
        sequence, this will also prevent tiff2pdf from creating pdf file from
        the merged tiff file with wrong page sequence.

        <li> tiffcp: Applied Tom Lane's patch to reject YCbCr
        subsampled data since tiffcp currently doesn't support it.
        http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2097
