STIFF 2.0 release

Posted by Emmanuel in releases, STIFF on February 1, 2010 – 16:09

STIFF V2.0 has been released! This version adds a wealth of new features:

complete rewriting of the conversion engine, now based on libTIFF 4.0
- BigTIFF support: manages arbitrary large images (64-bit system required),
- lossy or lossless on-the-fly image compression,
- 8 or 16-bit per component,
New tiled multiresolution pyramidal TIFF output mode to create giant zoomable pictures for the web. Check out these examples streamed through the IIPImage server software,
X,Y or XY image flipping options.
2-5× better performance than previous version on multi-core machines thanks to multithreaded conversion code and non-blocking calls to libTIFF. Sadly, the libTIFF library itself is not multithreaded,
Built-in power-law, sRGB and ITU-R BT rec.709 gamma corrections,
XML-VOTable metadata output, with user-friendly XSLT stylesheet provided.

More details can be found in the ChangeLog.
