Datatype: WarpTIFF 45.9
Again after five years, Oliver Roberts has released another update of his WarpTIFF-datatypes for AmigaOS 3.x, WarpUp, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS which are sold as Shareware.

Changes in version 45.9:
  • Can now load image files conforming to the BigTIFF specification
  • Added JPEG AltiVec speed optimizations for the AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS versions making decoding speed of baseline images 1.5x faster on a G4 and 1.9x faster on a PA6T, with fancy upsampling off, on average. These optimizations can be toggled off/on using the new USE_ALTIVEC setting
  • JPEG Huffman decoder in PowerPC versions is now 5-10% faster
  • Applications may now configure the datatype settings via a local variable, overriding any global user settings present in ENV:
  • Replaced usage of old Exec and Dos AmigaOS 4 functions with the new ones
  • Updated with libtiff 4.0.6, zlib 1.2.8 and jpeglib 9b
  • AmigaOS 4 version and MorphOS AltiVec code recompiled with GCC 5.2.0
  • MorphOS and WarpOS versions recompiled with VBCC 0.9d
