<A NAME="highlights"><B><FONT SIZE="+3">M</FONT>AJOR CHANGES:</B></A>
<UL>
<LI>Build and usage of the library and its utilities requires a C99 capable
compiler.</LI>
<LI>New optional codec for the LERC (Limited Error Raster Compression) compression scheme.
To have it available, configure libtiff against the SDK available at
https://github.com/esri/lerc</LI>
<LI>CMake build: revamp of build scripts</LI>

<A NAME="configure"><B><FONT SIZE="+3">C</FONT>HANGES IN THE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:</B></A>
<UL>
<LI>cmake: revamp of the cmake build scripts. There are impacts on the case of
some options.</LI>
<LI>cmake: update minimum version and policy version to 3.9.</LI>
<LI>Remove NMake build support. The functionality provided by the NMake build
is now completely superseded by the CMake build.</LI>
<LI>Remove antiquated Scons and makefile.lcc build support.</LI>
<LI>Remove non-functional VMS and WinCE support.</LI>
<LI>autogen.sh now updates config.guess and config.sub from master gnulib version.</LI>
</UL>

<!-- ============================================================= -->
<A NAME="libtiff"><B><FONT SIZE="+3">C</FONT>HANGES IN LIBTIFF:</B></A>
<UL>
<LI>Use of "int8", "uint8", "int16", "uint16", "int32", "uint32", "int64", "uint64"
typedefs is now deprecated. libtiff code and headers no longer use them,
and use their C99 standard equivalents (with "_t" suffix). Those typedefs
are still available, with deprecation warnings, but external code is strongly
encouraged to use the corresponding C99 stdint.h types. The deprecated
types might be removed in a future release.</LI>
<LI>Removal of unused, or now useless due to C99 availability, functions in port/</LI>
<LI>A few issues spotted by static code analysis tools fixed. Compiler
warnings addressed.</LI>

<UL>
<LI>In usage text, insert a line of text summarizing each tool's purpose </LI>
<LI>tiff tools: made display of compression methods and their parameters
conditional on their actual availability</LI>
<LI>tiff2ps: exit the loop in case of error (#232)</LI>
<LI>tiff2pdf: check that tiff_datasize fits in a signed tsize_t (#202)</LI>
<LI>tiffsplit: exit with EXIT_FAILURE if there are extra args on the command line</LI>
<LI>tiffcmp: fix comparaison with pixels that are fractional number of bytes (#53)</LI>
