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