"Announcing Libtiff 4.0.0", by Bob Friesenhahn

At long last, libtiff 4.0.0 is finally released.  Libtiff 4.0.0 is the 
successor to the libtiff 3.9.X release series.  It is intended to be 
largely API compatible with the 3.9.X releases, but it is definitely 
not ABI compatible so any software which plans to use it will need to 
be recompiled.  With appropriate care, source code can easily compile 
with both the 3.9.X releases and libtiff 4.0.0.

This release supports the BigTIFF TIFF format in which all offsets are 
unsigned 64-bit, supporting huge files.  APIs which deal with tag 
offsets are necessarily updated to pass 64-bit values.  I/O functions 
supporting the TIFFClientOpen() interface are updated to pass 64-bit 
offset values.

Just FYI, I'm waiting on 4.0.1 before doing anything about this.  It's too late to consider it for F-17 in any case.

Comment 3 Volker Fröhlich 2012-03-27 17:39:11 UTC
4.0.1 is here.
