- libtiff for Debian
- +----------------+
-
- This version of libtiff is installed with a different shared library
- soname from the upstream version. This is because an accidental
- change to the library's ABI was introduced somewhere between 3.5.7 and
- 3.6.1. There are no source-level incompatibilities between 3.5.7 and
- the current version, so any application that worked with 3.5.7 should
- work fine when recompiled with the libtiff4 packages.
-
- libtiff version 3.7.1 introduced an experimental and minimal C++
- interface. To use it, you must link against -ltiffxx.
-
- libtiff version 3.8.0 upstream introduced another binary
- incompatibility, but it was fixed within a few days of 3.8.0's
- release, and the binary incompatible never appeared in any debian
- version of the tiff packages.
-
- Example tiff files are available:
-
- ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/libtiff/pics-<version>.tar.gz
-
- These files may be useful for people testing software to make sure it
- can work with a wide variety of tiff files.
