WARPTIFF V45.10 + WARPDTPREFS V45.10 RELEASED

An updated WarpTIFF datatype and WarpDTPrefs program are now
available for download from http://www.warpdt.co.uk/ and also via
AmiUpdate or Aminet with the following improvements...

WarpDTPrefs:

 - Added alpha channel options for WarpTIFF 45.10.
 - Enabled tab cycling.
 - Fixed corruption at end of saved BMP, PCX and PSD prefs files.
 - GUI code completely reworked (no longer requires the ReActor GUI
   builder's resource.library from OS3.5/3.9).
 - Added OS4 and MorphOS PowerPC native versions.
 - Integrated new picture.datatype feature detection code from the
   WarpDT engine.

WarpTIFF:

 - Updated with libtiff 4.1.0, zlib 1.2.11 and jpeglib 9d.
 - Fixed bug in file i/o optimizer, which could cause images with
   errors in their TIFF directory to fail to load properly.
 - Added support for 32-bit and 64-bit floating point samples.
 - Added pure 32-bit RGBA output for images accompanied by an alpha
   channel (requires a picture.datatype supporting RGBA - e.g. OS4,
   MorphOS and AfA OS).
 - Added ALPHA_MODE option to control whether the alpha channel is
   passed through to picture.datatype, discarded or combined with a
   background colour.
 - Added user control of the background colour to use when
   combining with an alpha channel.
 - Completely reworked more intelligent detection of features
   available in differing picture.datatype versions and a more
   robust detection of alpha channel support (OS 3.1.4 no longer
   misidentified as alpha aware).
 - Changed prefs loading routine due to broken dos/ReadArgs() in
   MorphOS 3.x (RDAF_NOALLOC and RDA_Buffer completely ignored!),
   which was causing the prefs to not always be read properly.
 - Minor optimizations and cleanups.
 - MorphOS and WarpOS versions recompiled with VBCC 0.9g.
 - OS4 version and MorphOS AltiVec code recompiled with GCC 8.1.0.
 - All benchmarks recomputed after the repair of my A1200, with
   SCSI2SD replacing my SCSI HDD and disabling all debug tools.
 - Updated Spanish installer.
