* KNOWN ISSUES *
prototypes may contain Class1TCFRecvHack. This is no longer desireable
for production use, and this feature should now only be used for
debugging purposes.
-* Some of the CallID changes in this release required some reordering of
- the command-line parameters with which the DynamicConfig scripts were
- called. If you use DynamicConfig check your scripts after upgrading.
-* TIFFs received prior to upgrading to this release will display their
- CIDName and CIDNumber information reversed (CallID2, CallID1) when
- examined with faxinfo.
+* If upgrading from any release other than 4.2.2 directly, be advised that
+ CIDName/CIDNumber are now part of a larger CallID framework.
* libtiff-3.6.1 is fatally flawed when dealing with Group 3 images.
Don't use it as-is.
