tiff 3.9.1 in okay in debian

[Jay Berkenbilt-2]

For those members of the mailing list who may package libtiff for
various distributions, I'm reporting that tiff 3.9.1 has been in debian
for 13 days (since minutes after its release) with no reported problems.
The critical problem in 3.9.0 that prompted 3.9.1 was detected in
debian, among other places, and as tiff is widely used, major problems
after releases have historically been found within two or three days.
So my opinion, for what it's worth, this provides at least one data
point to suggest that 3.9.1 is ready to be distributed as part of any
system that previously included 3.8.2.  Just my $0.02.

If there are any debian users out there looking for an easy way to test
4.0.0 beta 4, you can find it in debian's "experimental" distribution.
The debian version is pristine -- no patches at all have been applied.

My $0.01 ...

OJPEG format does not work with the JPEG 7 library in 3.9.1 or Beta4.
Fixed in CVS.

Bob, can you please tell me where I can get some test OJPEG-encoded images?

collection available from "ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/libtiff".
