MAJOR CHANGES:

- None

CHANGES IN THE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:

- --enable-ld-version-script: New configure option to enable shared library symbol versioning on ELF-based systems (e.g. Linux and FreeBSD) which use the GNU linker. This allows multiple major versions of libtiff to be loaded simultaneously into the same application or library without conflict, as long as all libtiffs involved are built with versioned symbols. This option is not enabled by default.
- Added libtiff private dependency on -llzma for pkg-config.

CHANGES IN LIBTIFF:

- libtiff/tif_dir.c, libtiff/tif_dirread.c: Extra caution around assumption tag fetching is always successful.
- libtiff/tif_jpeg.c: Extra caution for case where sp is NULL.

CHANGES IN THE TOOLS:

- None

CHANGES IN THE CONTRIB AREA:

- None
