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:

## Software configuration changes

- various fixups and subtle improvements to configure from Richard Mlynarik

## Library changes

- a new codec from Pixar designed for high-resolution color images; note that this codec is not configured by default

- a bug fix for reading tags with a single `FLOAT` value

- change to the `TIFFGetField()` calling convention: a tag that has a single value of type `DOUBLE` is now retrieved by passing a `double*` instead of a `double**` (this change makes the handling of tags with `DOUBLE` values identical to the handling of tags with `FLOAT` values)

- fix to VMS support for the handling of floating point values

## Tools changes

- tiffdump now handles tags with `FLOAT` and `DOUBLE` values

## Contributed software changes

- updates to the Acorn OS support from Peter Greenham
