+
+<UL>

+  <LI>Optional support for using libdeflate is added.</LI>
+
+  <LI>Many of the tools now support a memory usage limit.</LI>

+
+<A NAME="configure"><B><FONT SIZE="+3">C</FONT>HANGES IN THE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:</B></A>
+
+<UL>
+
+  <LI>The Microsoft Windows 'nmake' build is resuscitated and provides
+  a default HAVE_STRTOLL setting in 'nmake.opt' which is suitable for
+  MSVC++ 14.0 ("Visual Studio 2015") and later but may be disabled in
+    order to compile with earlier compiler versions.</LI>
+
+  <LI>mingw-w64 cmake build fixes to not add libm</LI>

+</UL>

+<!-- ============================================================= -->
+
+<A NAME="libtiff"><B><FONT SIZE="+3">C</FONT>HANGES IN LIBTIFF:</B></A>
+
+<UL>
+
+  <LI>A great many issues discovered by fuzzers (via oss-fuzz and other reports) have been addressed.</LI>
+
+  <LI>EXIF 2.32 and GPS tags and functionality have been upgraded:
+    <UL>
+      <LI>Existing EXIF field definition of tags are upgraded to EXIF version 2.3.2</LI>
+      <LI>EXIF-GPS structure, tags and access functions are added as special CustomDirectory (like it was done for EXIF).</LI>
+      <LI>Reading error for FileSource and SceneType tags corrected.</LI>
+    </UL>
+
+  <LI>Make TIFFTAG_CFAPATTERN variable count.</LI>
+
+  <LI>Cmake configuration fixes for big-endian targets.</LI>
+
+  <LI><P>Added support for optional building against libdeflate for
+    faster Zip/Deflate compression/decompression.</P>
+
+    <P>We now have 2 kinds of builds with the Zip/Deflate codec:</P>
+    <UL>
+      <LI>zlib only</LI>
+      <LI>zlib + libdeflate</LI>
+    </UL>
+
+    <P>Speed improvements in the 35%-50% range can be expected when libdeflate is used.
+      Compression level up to 12 is now supported (capped to 9 when zlib is used).
+      Still requires zlib for situations where libdeflate cannot be used (that
+      is for scanline access, since libdeflate has no streaming mode)</P>
+
+    <P>Pseudo-tag TIFFTAG_DEFLATE_SUBCODEC=DEFLATE_SUBCODEC_ZLIB/DEFLATE_SUBCODEC_LIBDEFLATE
+      is added to control which subcodec (zlib or libdeflate) should be used (it defaults
+      of course to libdeflate, when it is available).
+      This is mostly aimed at being used on the writing side, to be able to reproduce
+      output of previous libtiff versions at a binary level, in situations where this would
+      be really needed. Or as a safety belt in case there would be unforeseen issues
+      with using libdeflate.
+      It can be used to know when libdeflate is available at runtime (DEFLATE_SUBCODEC_LIBDEFLATE
+      will be the default value in that situation).</P>
+    <P>Of course, deflate codestreams produced by libdeflate can be read by zlib, and vice-versa.</P>
+
