[gdal-dev] Fwd: [Tiff] Libtiff 4.1.0 is released

[Even Rouault]

FYI

This version will be especialy useful with GDAL 3.1.0 since it exposes in 
libtiff public API functions that are needed to better deal with large remote 
TIFF files (optimizations that were only available with a GDAL build using 
internal libtiff), and for the latest improvements regarding COG generation.

libtiff 4.1.0 is now available.  Read about this release at
http://www.simplesystems.org/libtiff/v4.1.0.html or 
http://libtiff.maptools.org/v4.1.0.html.

This release is a product of Even Rouault, Thomas Bernard, and 
several others.

These two files are available with the associated sha1sum:

7a882f8d55fd0620cbf89c47994d2d1d3b975452  tiff-4.1.0.tar.gz
e0f81cbb79760e81b4e6fe276cc530e41d7aeaf6  tiff-4.1.0.zip

The release files are also signed with my private PGP key, and the 
associated signature files have ".sig" extensions.

As usual, a great many security issues have been fixed in the 
software.  The large number of issues fixed are due to participating 
in Google's oss-fuzz project (as well as Coverity) and are not due to 
the software being abnormally insecure.  Libtiff has become quite 
robust.

The library should be upward compatable (drop in replacement without 
re-compiling dependent programs) with any 4.0.X release since it only 
adds a few extra functions and preserves the existing ABI.
