find something listed here, then it was not done in this timeframe, or
it was not considered important enough to be mentioned. The following

<A NAME="highlights"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>M</FONT>AJOR CHANGES:</B></A>
<UL>
<LI>Make defer strile offset/bytecount loading available at runtime
and add per-strile offset/bytecount loading capabilities. Part of
this commit makes the behaviour that was previously met when libtiff
was compiled with -DDEFER_STRILE_LOAD available for default builds
when specifying the new 'D' (Deferred) TIFFOpen() flag. In that
mode, the [Tile/Strip][ByteCounts/Offsets] arrays are only loaded
when first accessed. This can speed-up the opening of files stored
on the network when just metadata retrieval is needed.
Another addition is the capability of loading only the values of
the offset/bytecount of the strile of interest instead of the
whole array. This is enabled with the new 'O' (Ondemand) flag of
TIFFOpen() (which implies 'D').
The public TIFFGetStrileOffset[WithErr]() and
TIFFGetStrileByteCount[WithErr]() functions have been added to
API. They are of particular interest when using sparse files (with
offset == bytecount == 0) and you want to detect if a strile is
present or not without decompressing the data, or updating an
existing sparse file.
</LI>
<LI>The BigTIFF writer now optimizes file size by using 32-bit LONG
values (rather than 64-bit) where it is reasonable and safe to do
so. Likewise, the 16-bit SHORT type is used when possible for
StripByteCounts/TileByteCounts.

CMake builds. It was not being properly set!</LI>

Changes in the libtiff library may be viewed on-line
at <A HREF="https://gitlab.com/libtiff/libtiff/commits/master/libtiff">Libtiff
Library Commits</A>.
</LI>
<LI>
New function TIFFReadFromUserBuffer() which replaces the use of
TIFFReadEncodedStrip()/TIFFReadEncodedTile() when the user can
provide the buffer for the input data, for example when he wants
to avoid libtiff to read the strile offset/count values from the
[Strip|Tile][Offsets/ByteCounts] array.
</LI>
<LI>
New functions TIFFDeferStrileArrayWriting() and TIFFForceStrileArrayWriting()
Those advanced writing functions must be used in a particular sequence
to make their intended effect. Their aim is to control when/where
the [Strip/Tile][Offsets/ByteCounts] arrays are written into the file.
The purpose of this is to generate 'cloud-optimized geotiff' files where
the first KB of the file only contain the IFD entries without the potentially
large strile arrays. Those are written afterwards.
