The changes in this release are as follows:
The BigTIFF specification is now supported, allowing the creation of
files larger than 4GiB. Despite this large upgrade, the library
remains almost completely source compatible with the previous
releases and in most cases you just need to recompile your
application with new library to get read support for BigTIFF.

Project description:
libtiff provides support for the Tag Image File Format (TIFF), a
widely used format for storing image data. The latest version of the
TIFF specification is available on-line in several different formats,
as are a number of TIFF Technical Notes (TTN's). Included in this
software distribution is a library, libtiff, for reading and writing
TIFF, a small collection of tools for doing simple manipulations of
TIFF images on UNIX systems, and documentation on the library and
tools. A small assortment of TIFF-related software for UNIX that has
been contributed by others is also included. The library, along with
associated tool programs, should handle most of your needs for
reading and writing TIFF images on 32- and 64-bit machines.
