           imagectn/libsrc/dbutils.cc

- Corrections to mistyped attribute names in data dictionary (dicom.dic).
  Regenerated the tag definitions include file and the builtin data
  dictionary code.
  Affects: dcmdata/libsrc/dicom.dic
           dcmdata/include/dcdeftag.h
           dcmdata/libsrc/dcdictzz.cc

- Fixed OFString::operator<< handling of leading whitespace.  Leading
  whitespace is now skipped.

- Fixed segmentation fault for OFString's find_... methods when current
  string is empty.
  Affects: ofstd/libsrc/ofstring.h
           ofstd/libsrc/ofstring.cc

**** Changes from 97.10.01 (eichelberg)

- Added FAQ entry for compiling dcmtk on Solaris with
  the Sun Workshop 4.x compilers.
  Affects: FAQ

- Prototype for wait3() now also searched in <libc.h> during
  configure process. Needed for NeXTStep.
  Affects: config/configure.in
           config/configure

- Including <unistd.h> if available in dcmdata/libsrc/dcerror.cc
  Needed on SunOS.
  Affects: dcmdata/libsrc/dcerror.cc

**** Changes from 97.09.22 (hewett)

- Modified dcmgpdir.cc to use the new attribute existance tests
  from DcmItem and the global list dcmImageSOPClassUIDs of SOP
  Classes which can be referenced from a DICOMDIR IMAGE record.
  Affects: dcmdata/apps/dcmgpdir.cc

- Added a global list of Image SOP Classes UIDs (dcmImageSOPClassUIDs)
  which is used by dcmgpdir to identify SOP Classes which can be
  referenced from a DICOMDIR IMAGE record.
  Affects: dcmdata/include/dcuid.h
           dcmdata/libsrc/dcuid.cc

- Added 2 simple methods to test for the existance of an attribute
  to DcmItem class (tagExists and tagExistsWithValue).  This code
  was part of dcmgpdir.cc but is more generally useful.
  Affects: dcmdata/include/dcitem.h
           dcmdata/libsrc/dcitem.cc

- Added 2 methods to find an attribute and retrieve numeric values
  to DcmItem class (findIntegerNumber and findRealNumber).  The old
  method findLong is now marked as obsolete and reimplemented using
  findIntegerNumber.
  Affects: dcmdata/include/dcitem.h
           dcmdata/libsrc/dcitem.cc

- Added a method to retrieve the original transfer syntax of a read
  meta-header (getOriginalXfer).  This functionality is needed by
  the DCMCHECK package.
  Affects: dcmdata/include/dcmetinf.h

**** Changes from 97.09.18 (eichelberg)

- Missing operator= added to class DcmDictEntryListIterator
  Affects: dcmdata/include/dchashdi.h

- Name clash for "changeVR" attribute/local variable removed.
  Affects: dcmdata/libsrc/dcvrpobw.cc

- Overloading ambiguity removed. Affects systems on which NULL is defined
  as a (typeless) 0. OFString comparisons with a non-casted NULL will
  cause compile errors on such systems because 0 is a valid pointer and a
  valid char at the same time.
  Affects: dcmdata/apps/dcmgpdir.cc

- Now also trying include file <netdb.h> when looking for gethostid().
  function prototype. Required for OSF/1.
  Affects: config/configure.in
           config/configure

- Many minor type conflicts (e.g. long passed as int) solved.

           wlistctn/libsrc/wrklstdb.cc
           wlistctn/tests/wltest.cc

- Removed unused (and undocumented) option -XF from wlistctn.
  Affects: wlistctn/apps/wlistctn.cc

- Corrected forward and friend declarations (needed for DEC cxx)
  Affects: dcmdata/include/dchashdi.h

- Some systems, e.g. NeXTStep, need the third argument
  for fcntl calls to be casted to int. Other systems,
  e.g. OSF1/Alpha, won't accept this because int and struct flock *
  have different sizes. The workaround used here is to use a typecast to int
  if sizeof(void *) == sizeof(int) and leave it away otherwise.
  Affects: config/configure
           config/configure.in
           config/include/config.h.in
           dcmnet/libsrc/dcompat.cc
           wlistctn/libsrc/wrklstdb.cc

**** Changes from 97.09.12 (eichelberg)

- Corrected bug in wlistctn perl scripts leading to incorrect accession
  numbers when application entity titles longer than 12 characters were
  used. Updated documentation to recommend AEtitles to be unique
  (significant) within the first eight letters. Based on a suggestion from
  Heinz Blendinger (mailto:Heinz.Blendinger@med.siemens.de).
  Affects: wlistctn/docs/wwwapp.doc
           wlistctn/docs/wwwapp.txt
           wlistctn/perl/workedit.pl
           wlistctn/perl/write.ph
  Removed: wlistctn/docs/wwwapp.ps

- Command line option '-h' in storescp now works correctly.
  Affects: dcmnet/apps/storescp.cc

- The algorithm introduced on 97.08.28 to detect incorrect odd-length
  value fields falsely reported undefined length sequences and items
  to be wrong. Corrected.
  Affects: dcmdata/libsrc/dcitem.cc
           dcmdata/libsrc/dcsequence.cc

**** Changes from 97.09.12 (hewett)

- Added FAQ entries and more detailed documentation about using built-in
  data dictionaries.  Several people have complained that even small apps
  take too long to start.  They don't have to and the dcmdata/docs/datadict.txt
  now explains have to avoid the start-up overhead of loading a data
  dictionary from a text file.
  Affects: FAQ
           dcmdata/docs/datadict.txt

- Updated INSTALL instructions for Windows95/NT and current supported
  systems collection.
  Affects: INSTALL

- Modified the dcmgpdir program to use the OFString and OFList classes.
  Deleted program specific String and StringList classes.
  Affects: dcmdata/apps/dcmgpdir.cc

**** Changes from 97.09.11 (hewett)

- Fixed OFString bug associated with the assign method
  when n == OFString_npos.  Since OFString_npos is represented
  by -1 the assign method  was reserving zero space for the string.
  This case is now explicitly handled.
  Affects: ofstd/libsrc/ofstring.cc

- Corrected erroneous setting of the source filename when
  constructing a DcmDirrectoryRecord.  This corrects a bug
  introduced by the changes from 97.07.21.
  Affects: dcmdata/libsrc/dcdirrec.cc

- Added a putOFStringArray method
  Affects: dcmdata/include/dcbytstr.h
           dcmdata/libsrc/dcbytstr.cc
           dcmdata/include/dcelem.h
           dcmdata/libsrc/dcelem.cc

- Modified getOFString method arguments by removing a default value
  for the pos argument.  By requiring the pos argument to be provided
  ensures that callers realise getOFString only gets one component of
  a multi-valued string.
  Affects: dcmdata/include/dcelem.h
           dcmdata/include/dcbytstr.h

           dcmdata/include/dcvrtm.h
           dcmdata/include/dcitem.h

- Changed DcmDicomDir constructor to take const char* arguments.
  Affects: dcmdata/include/dcdicdir.h
           dcmdata/libsrc/dcdirdir.cc

- Enhanced the configure macro AC_CHECK_PROTOTYPE to check the
  include files passed as aruments before searching for a
  prototype.  This makes the configure.in file considerably
  simpler.  The include files passed as arguments to the
  AC_CHECK_PROTOTYPE macro must have already been tested for
  using the AC_CHECK_HEADERS macro.  If not, the include files
  are assumed not to exist.
  Affects: config/configure.in
           config/aclocal.m4
           config/configure

- Minor changes to eliminate warnings when compiled under the
  Cygnus GNU-Win32 development envionment.  Changed order of initialisers
  for OFListLink and OFStackLink.  Make ~OFLisBase and ~OFStackBase
  virtual destructors.
  Affects: ofstd/include/oflist.h
           ofstd/include/ofstack.h

- DUL code now only tries to set the send/receive TCP buffer length
  socket options if the SO_SNDBUF and SO_RCVBUF preprocessor macros
  are defined.  Attempts to set these socket options will generate an
  error message on stderr if unavailable.  This modification was
  needed to compiled the dcmnet code under the Cygnus GNU-Win32
  development environment.
  Affects: dcmnet/libsrc/dul.cc
           dcmnet/libsrc/dulfsm.cc

- Conditionally included more standard header files into the
  the dcmnet compatibility header file to allow appropriate
  declarations to be picked up.  For the Cygnus GNU-Win32
  development environment.
  Affects: dcmnet/include/dcompat.h

**** Changes from 97.08.29 (barth)

- Adapted Win95 Makefile to support new data dictionary
  Affects: config/systems/win32/msvc4.mak

           dcmdata/libsrc/dcvrst.cc
           dcmdata/libsrc/dcvrtm.cc

- Corrected copy constructor for DcmHashDictIterator
  Affects: dcmdata/include/dchashdi.h

**** Changes from 97.08.28 (barth)

- Added methods getOFString and getOFStringArray for all
  string VRs. These methods are able to normalise the value, i. e.
  to remove leading and trailing spaces. This will be done only if
  it is described in the standard that these spaces are not relevant.
  These methods do not test the strings for conformance, this means
  especially that they do not delete spaces where they are not allowed!
  getOFStringArray returns the string with all its parts separated by \
  and getOFString returns only one value of the string.
  CAUTION: Currently getString returns a string with trailing
  spaces removed (if dcmEnableAutomaticInputDataCorrection == OFTrue) and
  truncates the original string (since it is not copied!). If you rely on this
  behaviour please change your application now.
  Future changes will ensure that getString returns the original
  string from the DICOM object (NULL terminated) inclusive padding.
  Currently, if you call getOF... before calling getString without
  normalisation, you can get the original string read from the DICOM object.

- New error messages if length of an element is odd. Previously, no
  error was reported. But the length is corrected by the method
  newValueField and so it was impossible for a checking utility to find
  such an error in DICOM objects.
  Affects: dcmdata/libsrc/dcitem.cc
           dcmdata/libsrc/dcsequen.cc

**** Changes from 97.08.26 (hewett)

- Added +B command line option to imagectn application.  Use of this option
  causes imagectn to bypass the dcmdata encode/decode routines when receiving
  images and write image data to disk exactly as received in a C-STORE
  command over the network.  Inclusion of this option was suggested by
  David Clunie (david.clunie@med.ge.com) as being useful for testing.
  NOTE: This option does _not_ affect sending images.
  Affects: imagectn/apps/imagectn.cc
           imagectn/apps/imagectn.h
           imagectn/apps/scestore.cc

- Fix incorrect computation of lengths (both Sequence/Item length and
  group lengths) for unknown attributes when writing using an explicit-vr
  transfer syntax.  The method DcmXfer::sizeofTagHeader was not properly
  handling the (internal) EVR_UNKNOWN value representation which is
  converted to either EVR_UN or EVR_OB when writing out data.
  Affects: dcmdata/libsrc/dcxfer.cc

- New data structures for data-dictionary.  The main part of the
  data-dictionary is now stored in an hash table using an optimized
  hash function.  This new data structure reduces data-dictionary
  load times by a factor of 4!  The data-dictionary specific linked-list
  has been replaced by a linked list derived from OFList class
  (see ofstd/include/oflist.h).
  The only interface modifications are related to iterating over the entire
  data dictionary which should not be needed by "normal" applications.

- Updated Windows NT system dependent files to reflect the tested
  imagectn.
  Affects: config/systems/win32/README
           config/systems/win32/msvc4.mak

- Using Windows NT with Visual C++ 4.x the standard open mode for files
  is TEXT with conversions. For binary files (image files, imagectn database
  index) this must be changed (e.g. fopen(filename, "...b"); or
  open(filename, ..... |O_BINARY);)

- Corrected error in DUL finite state machine
  SCPs shall close sockets after the SCU have closed the socket in
  a normal association release. Therfore, an ARTIM timer is described
  in DICOM part 8 that is not implemented correctly in the
  DUL. Since the whole DUL finite state machine is affected, we
  decided to solve the proble outside the fsm. Now it is necessary to call the
  ASC_DropSCPAssociation() after the calling ASC_acknowledgeRelease().

  completely. The bytes 7-10 were left on the socket. This created no
  problems since it was the last read operation on the socket but no
  error checking was possible for this messages.

  the new DcmPixel class.
  Affects: dcmdata/apps/dump2dcm.cc

- Corrected error in DcmDirectoryRecord::write since this routine can
  change the length of the record after this is calculated in the
  sequence.
  Affects: dcmdata/include/dcdirrec.h
           dcmdata/libsrc/dcdirrec.cc

- DcmDirectoryRecord can be build with a referenced Name and a source
  filename. These name now can differ (lower case - upper case
  characters).

- With flag DEBUG dcmdump now tries to print the DICOM file even if
  an error in reading the file was detected.
  Affects: dcmdata/apps/dcmdump.cc

- Support for CP 14. PixelData and OverlayData can have VR OW or OB
  (depending on the transfer syntax). New internal value
  representation (only for ident()) for OverlayData.

- New environment for encapsulated pixel representations. DcmPixelData
  can contain different representations and uses codecs to convert
  between them. Codecs are derived from the DcmCodec class. New error
  codes are introduced for handling of representations. New internal
  value representation (only for ident()) for PixelData
  Added:   dcmdata/include/dccodec.h

  if libg++.a was not found in the default link path.
  Affects: config/aclocal.m4
           config/configure

- New shell script config/changext changes the file name extension
  for all C++ files from .cc to a different extension. This is useful
  for C++ compilers which do note recognise ".cc" as a valid extension
  for C++ code.
  Added: config/changext.sh

**** Changes from 97.07.02 (barth)

- Preliminary release of the OFFIS Standard Library.
  In the future this library shall contain a subset of the
  ANSI C++ Library (Version 3) that works on a lot of different
  compilers. Additionally this library shall include classes and
  functions that are often used. All classes and functions begin
  with OF... This library is independent of the DICOM development and
  shall contain no DICOM specific stuff.
