TIFF CHANGE INFORMATION

    Current Version: v4.0.5
...

MAJOR CHANGES:

  • Support for configure/build using CMake.
  • Support for large (> 2GB) files under Microsoft Windows.

CHANGES IN THE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:

  • CMakeLists.txt / CMake
      ◦ Configuration and building using CMake is now supported under
        Microsoft Windows and on Unix-type systems.
  • configure.ac / configure
      ◦ Test for and use fseeko() if it is available. This allows
        supporting large files on Unix-type systems with a 32-bit 'long'
        type and a 64-bit 'off_t' type.

CHANGES IN LIBTIFF:

  • tiffiop.h:
      ◦ Macros added to use 64-bit equivalents for all standard I/O and
        POSIX APIs used by libtiff and its tools which are limited to
        2GB in Windows builds. Note that these 64-bit equivalents were
        introduced by the CRT provided with Visual Studio 2005 and if
        the necessary CRT is not installed on the target computer, the
        program will not run. The wrapper macros will not be activated
        unless the definition _MSC_VER is at least 1400 or
        __MSVCRT_VERSION__ is at least 0x800.
  • tif_unix.c:
      ◦ Updated to support large files under Microsoft Windows. This
        makes tif_unix.c a completely viable candidate for use under
        Windows (in spite of its name) if the CRT is modern enough.
        Please note that tif_win32.c already supported large files, but
        only 'tiffinfo' and 'tiffdump' made any provision to support
        large files under Windows.
      ◦ _tiffReadProc() and _tiffWriteProc() are modified to chunk I/O
        to a maximum size of 2GB for extremely large I/O requests. This
        surmounts limitations in the Microsoft Windows read() and
        write() APIs (which are limited to the range of a 32-bit 'int'),
        and may avoid poor behavior with extremely large I/O requests on
        other systems.

CHANGES IN THE TOOLS:

  • All tools
      ◦ Updated to use I/O wrapper macros from tiffiop.h in order to
        support large files under Microsoft Windows.

CHANGES IN THE CONTRIB AREA:

  • None
