<A NAME="configure">CHANGES IN THE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:</A>

<UL>
<LI>various fixups and subtle improvements to configure
 from Richard Mlynarik
</UL>

<A NAME="libtiff">CHANGES IN LIBTIFF:</A>

<UL>
<LI>a new codec from Pixar designed for high-resolution color images;
 note that this codec is not configured by default
<LI>a bug fix for reading tags with a single <TT>FLOAT</TT> value
<LI>change to the <TT>TIFFGetField</TT> calling convention:
 a tag that has a single value of
 type <TT>DOUBLE</TT> is now retrieved by passing a
 ``<TT>double*</TT>'' instead of a
 ``<TT>double**</TT>'' (this change makes the handling of tags with
 <TT>DOUBLE</TT> values identical to the handling of tags with
 <TT>FLOAT</TT> values)
<LI>fix to VMS support for the handling of floating point values
</UL>

<A NAME="tools">CHANGES IN THE TOOLS:</A>

<UL>
<LI>tiffdump now handles tags with <TT>FLOAT</TT> and <TT>DOUBLE</TT>
 values
</UL>
