Release Notes for SDK (7.0.0.2167)

5/28/2008

1. *** API CHANGE *** As described in the Porting Guide
   section of the User Manual, breaking changes have been
   introduced to the API, in order to address the needs of
   more flexible workflows and pipelines in applications.
   This will require small changes to existing code.

2. The LTIOFileStream class now support +2GB files. The
   LTIOFileStream64 class has been removed.

3. The mix of supported platforms has been updated. See
   platforms.txt for details.

4. A number of bugs have been fixed in the JP2 and NITF
   readers and writers.

5. Small performance improvements have been made in many
   areas of the code.

6. Member functions that are not documented (or are
   explicitly marked as LizardTech-only) should in general
   not be used by third-party developers.

Release Notes for SDK (4.0.10.720)

12/9/2004

1. TIFFImageWriter will not work correctly if the output
   target is a stream (as opposed to a file).

   A workaround is to write the output to a temporary file,
   then load that file into a stream. This issue will be
   fixed in a subsequent release. [9715]


2. The following JP2ImageReader code fragment will return
   an error code (50916) from the initialize() call:

   const char* fileName = ...
   J2KImageReader reader(LTFileSpec(fileName));
   LT_STATUS sts = reader.initialize();

   The workaround is to not inline the LTFileSpec
   construction, as follows:

   const char* fileName = ...
   LTFileSpec fileSpec(fileName);
   J2KImageReader reader(fileSpec);
   LT_STATUS sts = reader.initialize();

   This issue will be fixed in a subsequent release. [10042
