    <P>Added ZSTD compression codec.
    <A HREF="https://github.com/facebook/zstd">Zstandard<A> or zstd as
    short version, is a fast lossless compression algorithm, targeting
    real-time compression scenarios at zlib-level and better
    compression ratios. It's backed by a very fast entropy stage,
    provided by Huff0 and FSE library.</P>

    <P>We require libzstd >= 1.0.0 so as to be able to use streaming
    compression and decompression methods.</P>

    <P>The default compression level we have selected is 9 (range goes
    from 1 to 22), which experimentally offers equivalent or better
    compression ratio than the default deflate/ZIP level of 6, and
    much faster compression.</P>

    <P>For example on a 6600x4400 16bit image, tiffcp -c zip runs in
    10.7 seconds, while tiffcp -c zstd runs in 5.3
    seconds. Decompression time for zip is 840 ms, and for zstd 650
    ms. File size is 42735936 for zip, and 42586822 for zstd. Similar
    findings on other images.</P>

    <P>On a 25894x16701 16bit image,</P>

  <LI><P>Added WebP compression codec.

    <A HREF="https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/">WebP</A> is
    a high performance compressor intended for photos as commonly used
    on the Web.  The WebP encoder is not designed for huge images, but
    serves very well for compressing strips and tiles in TIFF as long
    as the strips or tiles do not exceed the capability of the
    encoder.</P>

    <P>As a test of compression performance metrics, GraphicsMagick
    was used on an extremely high quality 8-bit TIFF image from a
    Hasselblad H4D-200MS camera with pixel dimensions of
    16352x12264. The image was re-encoded with 1024x1024 tiles and
    various compression algorithms, using default settings for each
    algorithm.  Based on this test, the compression and decompression
    performance (in iterations per second), the resulting file size,
    and the calculated total PSNR are provided here.  It can be seen
    that WebP provided excellent encode and decode performance, and
    the compressed file size was very small:</P>

  </LI>

  <LI>TIFFPrintDirectory(): fix null pointer dereference on corrupted
  file. Fixes <A HREF="http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2770">Bug
  2770 - NULL Pointer Dereference in tiffinfo.c with crafted TIFF
  image</A>.</LI>

  <LI>_TIFFVGetField(): fix heap out-of-bounds access when requesting
  TIFFTAG_NUMBEROFINKS on a EXIF
  directory. Fixes <A HREF="http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2765">Bug
  2765 - Heap Out-Of-Bounds Memory Access - 68122422</A>. Reported by
  Google Autofuzz project</LI>

  <LI>Fix a memory leak in TIFFStreamOpen. TIFFStreamOpen allocates a
  new tiff{o,i}s_data, but if TIFFClientOpen fails then that struct is
  leaked.</LI>

  <LI><P>Fix for bug 2772. It is possible to craft a TIFF document where
  the IFD list is circular, leading to an infinite loop while
  traversing the chain. The libtiff directory reader has a failsafe
  that will break out of this loop after reading 65535 directory
  entries, but it will continue processing, consuming time and
  resources to process what is essentially a bogus TIFFdocument.</P>

  <P>This change fixes the above behavior by breaking out of processing
  when a TIFF document has >= 65535 directories and terminating with an
  error.</P></LI>

  <LI>ChopUpSingleUncompressedStrip: avoid memory exhaustion
  (CVE-2017-11613).  In ChopUpSingleUncompressedStrip(), if the
  computed number of strips is big enough and we are in read only
  mode, validate that the file size is consistent with that number of
  strips to avoid useless attempts at allocating a lot of memory for
  the td_stripbytecount and td_stripoffset
  arrays. Fixes <A HREF="http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2724">Bug
  2724 - memory exhaustion in ChopUpSingleUncompressedStrip</A></LI>

  <LI>Port code: Add strtol, strtoll and strtoull. Also update
  strtoul.  All use the same implementation from NetBSD libc.</LI>

  <LI>Fix for CVE-2018-7456 "NULL pointer dereference in
  TIFFPrintDirectory".</LI>

  <LI>TIFFWriteDirectorySec: avoid
  assertion. Fixes <A HREF="http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2795">Bug
  2795 - There is a reachable assertion abort in function
  TIFFWriteDirectorySec() of libtiff 4.0.9. A crafted input will lead
  to remote denial of attack. (CVE-2018-10963)</A>.</LI>

  <LI>LZWDecodeCompat(): fix potential index-out-of-bounds
  write. Fixes <A HREF="http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2780">Bug
  2780 - A heap-buffer-overflow in function LZWDecodeCompat in
  libtiff4.0.9 (CVE-2018-8905)</A>. The fix consists in using the
  similar code as LZWDecode() to validate we don't write outside of
  the output buffer.</LI>

  <LI><P>Remove builtin support for GUI warning and error message
  boxes. Now warnings always go to the console by default unless
  applications define their own warning and error handlers.</P>

  <P>GUI applications (and Windows CE) are required to define such handlers.</P></LI>

  <LI>Add tag and pseudo-tag definitions for ESRI LERC codec (out of
  tree codec whose source is
  at <A HREF="https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/master/gdal/frmts/gtiff/tif_lerc.c">
      https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/master/gdal/frmts/gtiff/tif_lerc.c</A>).</LI>

  <LI>Fix libtiff 4.0.8 regression when reading LZW-compressed strips with scanline API
        Fixes <A HREF="http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2800">
      Bug 2800 - Regression: Opening a tiff file with v4.0.9 gives an error with LZWDecode</A>.</LI>

  <LI>TIFFSetupStrips(): avoid potential uint32 overflow on 32-bit
  systems with large number of strips.  Probably relates
  to <A HREF="http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2788">Bug
  2788 - Heap Buffer Overflow in TIFFWriteScanline of tif_write.c
  (CVE-2018-10779)</A></LI>

  <LI>Fix out-of-bound read on some tiled images.</LI>

  <LI>Avoid potential int32 overflows in multiply_ms().</LI>

  <LI>Only read/write TIFFTAG_GROUP3OPTIONS or TIFFTAG_GROUP4OPTIONS
  if compression is COMPRESSION_CCITTFAX3 or
  COMPRESSION_CCITTFAX4.</LI>

  <LI>JBIG: fix potential out-of-bounds write in JBIGDecode(). Also
  fix a (harmless) potential use of uninitialized memory when
  tif->tif_rawsize > tif->tif_rawcc. In case libtiff is compiled with
  CHUNKY_STRIP_READ_SUPPORT, make sure that whole strip data is
  provided to JBIGDecode().</LI>

  <LI>LZMAPreEncode: emit verbose error if lzma_stream_encoder() fails
  (typically because not enough memory available)</LI>
