image-tiff/CHANGES.md

Version 0.11.1

Fixes:

• The enumeration types in tags are now all marked with a representation of their underlying TIFF type (e.g. repr(u16)) and variants are explicitly assigned their corresponding values. That is you may read the raw discriminant and interpret that as the value—except for Unknown variants.
• The variants RationalBig and SRationalBig of decoder::ifd::Value are deprecated as they have no corresponding TIFF type and were not constructed during decoding.

Additions:

• Types in tags now generally implement TiffValue and can be handed to the DirectoryEncoder::write_tag method. Unlike primitive types they do not always implement the trait for slices of themselves.
• Added tags::ValueBuffer, a byte-based buffer for tags with a runtime value type and count.
• Added IfdDecoder::find_tag_{buf,bytes} to read tag values into a ValueBuffer or byte slice respectively without interpreting them immediately within the Rust type system.
• Added DirectoryEncoder::write_{data,tag}_buf that takes a ValueBuffer instead of a statically typed argument.
• Added DirectoryEncoder::write_entry{,_buf,_bytes} that encode their argument into the file and return an Entry for later use, without immediately adding a tag-entry pair to the directory.
• The TiffValue trait is now implemented for several builtin tags::* types or slices of them as appropriate for their use as values of their intended TIFF tag.
• The TiffValue trait is now implemented for [T; N] for all types that implement it for slices.

Version 0.11.0

• Directory now implements FromIterator<(Tag, Value)>.

Changes:

• The decoder now interprets the ExtraSamples tag. The sample count must now more strict match the expected value with alpha channels only allowing for explicitly denoted unassociated or associated alpha. This effects the indicated color type when decoding images with additional samples indicated as unspecified relation. Previously, these may have been interpreted as alpha by the total sample count (e.g. RgbA if 4 samples under a photometric interpretation of RGB).
• The decoder handles planar data, current limited to non-subsampled channels. The Decoder::read_image method return planes one-after-another depending on the size of the buffer that was passed.
• Decoder::read_image_to_buffer now takes &mut DecodingResult and resizes it according to the required layout. Previously, a borrowed DecodingBuffer was passed which can be replaced by calling as_bytes_mut and read_image_bytes.
• Several methods of tags are now const. Note that does not guarantee any particular value when calling these methods.

Fixes:

• Fix a bug in the uncompressed encoder that could lead to short writes, i.e. data silently dropped when the underlying writer did not accept all data in a single write call.
• Encoding YCbCr data now writes the ChromaSubsampling tag as (1, 1) to indicate no subsampling, instead of leaving it at its default of (2, 2).
• The decoder will reject subsampled YCbCr data as there is no upsampling routine, except for JPEG compressed images where the JPEG decoders handles this. Since the buffer in that case indicates a full-sized plane for all color samples any future support for the tag will upsample all planes (at least within this major version).

Additions:

• Added support for the CieLab color type.
• Added DecodingResult::resize_to to create a buffer with a matching sample type and dimensions.
• Added ByteOrder::native to access the platform's native endianness.
• Added ByteOrder::convert to change the byte-order of values in a byte buffer, depending on their Type as described at runtime.
• Added DirectoryOffset::new to encode a directory whose offset is known to the caller but that has not been written through the encoder itself.
• Added Encoder::extra_samples to encode images with more samples than their color's trait implementation would otherwise suggest.
• Added DirectoryEncoder::extend_from to encode multiple tag entries from a directory whose values were written to the file by means outside the encoder's control.
• Added Decoder::read_coding_unit_bytes to retrieve data of corresponding coordinates from potentially planar data, which is encoded in multiple chunks of the file.

Version 0.10.3

New features:

• Group 4 fax is now recognized as a compression type and decoded.
• A crate feature fax controls related dependencies, on by default.

Changes:

• The presence of PhotometricInterpretation::WhiteIsZero now returns an error if the color type can not be inverted by the library where they were previously silently ignored. Please report any missing color types.

Fixes:

• The PhotometricInterpretation::WhiteIsZero is now also applied to 1-bit images, as well as 2-bit and 4-bit sample types where previously the presence of this tag was ignored.

Version 0.10.2

Republished 0.10.1, fixing an accidentally removed method (Decoder::find_tag_unsigned_vec).

Version 0.10.1

New features:

• Added a dedicated Directory type (#277)
• Expose methods related to Directory publicly (#278)
• Implement writing directories (#281, #283)
• Add ICC (color profile) to the set of known tags (#287)
• Added Decoder.inner() to access the underlying reader (#289)
• Added methods for reading into a pre-allocated byte buffer (#285)

Changes:

• No longer perform color conversion when decoding embedded JPEG. This fixes decoding for JPEG images with alpha channel. (#274)
• More lenient LZW decoding to match libtiff (#231)

Fixes:

• Fixed seeking multiple times in a row (#279)

Version 0.10.0

New features:

• Added ColorType::Multiband and ColorType::CMYKA.
• Added Value::Byte and Value::SignedByte to represent u8 and i8 tags.
• Encoding can now use horizontal predictor.
• The Decoder::tag_iter method allows iterating over all tags in the image.
• Half precision floating point values are now supported during decoding.
• ZStandard compression has been added as an additional compression method during decoding, but requires the zstd feature flag.

Changes:

• Switched u16 and i16 values to be intepreted as Value::Short and Value::SignedShort respectively.
• Changed JPEG compression to use the zune-jpeg crate instead of jpeg-decoder.
• The deflate, jpeg, and lzw compression methods are now controlled by (enabled by default) feature flags.

Fixes:

• Fixed a bug in 1 bit-per-pixel decoding.

Version 0.9.1

New features:

• Basic support for planar configuration.
• Allow arbitrary number of samples as long as all have the same bit depth.

Fixes:

• Don't panic when parsing metadata when custom compression is used.

Version 0.9.0

New features:

• Added support for photometric interpretation YCbCr and added related ColorType.

Fixes:

• Decoding tiled images calculates padding correctly when image width or height is a multiple of tile size. It could previously corrupt the last tile per row by skipping over data.

Version 0.8.1

Changes:

• The jpeg decoder gained to ability to utilize the Photometric Interpretation directly instead of relying on a custom APP segment.

Fixes:

• A spurious error within the PackBits decoder lead to the incorrect results (wrong bits or errors), based on the maximum size of reads from the underlying reader.
• Removed a panic path in jpeg decoding, when a feature such as photometric interpretation is not supported. An error is returned instead.

Version 0.8.0

Changes:

• The minimum supported rust version is now indicated in Cargo.toml.
• The enums TiffFormatError and TiffUnsupportedError are now marked with the #[non_exhaustive] attribute.
• Additionally, tag related enums Value, Tags, Type, CompressionMethod, PhotometricInterpretation, PlanarConfiguration, Predictor, ResolutionUnit, SampleFormat are also changed.

Removals:

• Removed deprecated methods of Decoder: init, read_jpeg, read_strip_to_buffer, read_strip, read_tile. The implicit chunk (row or tile) index order could not be easily tracked by the caller. New separate utility interfaces may be introduced at a later point, for now callers are obligated to choose their own.

Fixes:

• Update to jpeg_decoder = 0.3.

Version 0.7.4

New features:

• Creating an encoder for invalid, zero-sized images is now rejected.

Fixes:

• Fix panic, in a case where decoding jpeg encoded images did not expect the jpeg decoder to return an error.
• Fix panic by validating rows_per_strip better, fixing a division-by-zero.

Version 0.7.3

New features:

• Allow decoder to access specific tiles by index.
• Add support for floating point predictor.
• Tiled jpeg file support.

Changes:

• Various refactoring and performance improvements.

Version 0.7.2

New features:

• Encoding with ImageEncoder now takes an optional compressor argument, allowing compressed encoding. See the methods TiffEncoder::{new_image,write_image}_with_compression.
• jpeg_decoder has been upgraded, now supports lossless JPEG.

Changes:

• Decoding now more consistently reads and interprets the initial IFD, instead of performing some interpretation lazily. (This change prepares fully lazy and backwards seeking.)

Version 0.7.1

New features:

• Encoding signed integer formats is now supported.
• Extensive fuzzing with cargo fuzz.

Changes:

• Tile decoding should be a little faster, requires one less intermediate buffer.
• Images whose IFDs form a cycle due to their offsets will now raise an error when the cycle would be entered (jumping back should still be supported).

Fixes:

• Fixed a regression that caused conflict between strips and tile images, causing errors in decoding some images.
• Use checked integer arithmetic in limit calculations, fixes overflows.
• IFD Tags are now always cleared between images.
• Found by fuzzing: Several memory limit overflows; JPEG now correctly validates offsets and a minimum size of its table; Check upper limit of strip byte size correctly;

Notes: Our CI has warned that this version no longer builds on 1.34.2 out of the box. We're still committed to the MSRV on this major version yet one dependency—flate2—has already bumped it in a SemVer compatible version of its own. This is out-of-our-control (cargo's dependency resolution does not allow us to address this in a reasonable manner).

This can be address this by pinning the version of flate2 to 1.0.21 in your own files. However, you should understand that this puts you in considerable maintenance debt as you will no longer receive any updates for this dependency and any package that requires a new version of the 1.0 series would be incompatible with this requirement (cargo might yell at you very loudly).

Version 0.7.0

New features:

• Support for encoding BigTiff (#122)
  • Breaking: Encoder types now have a generic parameter to differentiate BigTiff and standard Tiff encoding. Defaults to standard Tiff.
• Basic tile decoding (#125)
  • Breaking: There is a new TiffError::UsageError variant.
• Support for datatypes Int8 and Int16 (#114)
  • Breaking: DecodingResult and DecodingBuffer have the two new variants I8 and I16.
• Support for i32 arrays (#118)
  • Breaking: DecodingResult and DecodingBuffer have a new I32 variant.
• Support for Ifd and IfdBig tag types and I64 data type (#119)
  • Breaking: DecodingResult and DecodingBuffer have a new I64 variant.
• Add SMinSampleValue and SMaxSampleValue (#123)

Changes:

• Improve deflate support (#132) * Switch to streaming decompression via flate2. Aside from performance improvements and lower RAM consumption, this fixes a bug where max_uncompressed_length was precalculated for a single tile but then used as a hard limit on the whole data, failing to decompress any tiled images.
  • Add support for new Deflate tag in addition to OldDeflate.
• Breaking: Remove InflateError, which is no longer needed with flate2 (#134)
• Breaking: Support for MinIsWhite is restricted to unsigned and floating point values. This is expected to be be re-added once some contradictory interpretation regarding semantics for signed values is resolved.

Fixes:

• Validate that ASCII tags are valid ASCII and end with a null byte (#121)

Internal:

• Simplify decompression logic (#126)
• Simplify expand_strip (#128)

Version 0.6.1

New features:

• Support for reading u16 and ascii string tags.
• Added Limits::unlimited for disabling all limits.
• Added ImageEncoder::rows_per_strip to overwrite the default.

Changes:

• The default strip size for chunked encoding is now 1MB, up from 8KB. This should lead to more efficient decoding and compression.

Fixes:

• Fixed a bug where LZW compressed strips could not be decoded, instead returning an error Inconsistent sizes encountered.
• Reading a tag with a complex type and a single value returns the proper Value variant, instead of a vector with one entry.

Version 0.6.0

New features:

• Support for decoding BigTIFF with 64-bit offsets
• The value types byte, f32, f64 are now recognized
• Support for Modern JPEG encoded images

Improvements:

• Better support for adding auxiliary tags before encoding image data
• Switched to lzw decoder library weezl for performance
• The ColorType trait now supports SAMPLE_ENCODING hints

Fixes:

• Fixed decoding of inline ASCII in tags
• Fixed handling after null terminator in ASCII data
• Recognize tile and sample format tags

Version 0.5.0

• Added support for 32-bit and 64-bit decoded values.
• Added CMYK(16|32|64) color type support.
• Check many internal integer conversions to increase stability. This should only lead to images being reported as faulty that would previously silently break platform limits. If there are any false positives, please report them.
• Remove an erroneous check of decoded length in lzw compressed images.

Version 0.4.0

• Several enumerations are now non_exhaustive for future extensions. These are Tag, Type, Value, PhotometricInterpretation, CompressionMethod, Predictor.
• Enums gained a dedicated method to convert to their TIFF variant value with the specified type. Performing these conversions by casting the discriminant with as is not guaranteed to be stable, except where documented explicitly.
• Removed the num-derive and num dependencies.
• Added support for decoding deflate compressed images.
• Make the decoder Limits customizable by exposing members.
• Fixed multi-page TIFF encoding writing incorrect offsets.
