+ some options.</LI>
+
+ <LI>cmake: update minimum version and policy version to 3.9.</LI>
+
+ <LI>Remove NMake build support. The functionality provided by the NMake build
+ is now completely superseded by the CMake build.</LI>

+<UL>
+
+ <LI>Use of "int8", "uint8", "int16", "uint16", "int32", "uint32", "int64", "uint64"
+ typedefs is now deprecated. libtiff code and headers no longer use them,
+ and use their C99 standard equivalents (with "_t" suffix). Those typedefs
+ are still available, with deprecation warnings, but external code is strongly
+ encouraged to use the corresponding C99 stdint.h types. The deprecated
+ types might be removed in a future release.</LI>
+
+ <LI>Removal of unused, or now useless due to C99 availability, functions in port/</LI>
+
+ <LI>A few issues spotted by static code analysis tools fixed. Compiler
+ warnings addressed.</LI>
