<A NAME="highlights">MAJOR CHANGES:</A>

<UL>

<li> None

</UL>

<A NAME="configure">CHANGES IN THE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:</A>

<UL>

<li> Updated to use Automake 1.12.4. Avoids security problem with
 'make distcheck' (CVE-2012-3386).

</UL>

<A NAME="libtiff">CHANGES IN LIBTIFF:</A>

<UL>

<li> Various memory buffer access fixes.

<li> Fix handling when writing RGBA jpeg compressed imagery
 (<A HREF="http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/4732">http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/4732</A>).

<li> Fix to work properly with IJG JPEG 7+.

<li> New functions TIFFFieldTag(), TIFFFieldName(),
 TIFFFieldDataType(), TIFFFieldPassCount(), TIFFFieldReadCount(),
 TIFFFieldWriteCount() to use as external accessors for the opaque
 type TIFFField.

<li> Fix bug rewriting image tiles in a compressed
 file (<A HREF="http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/4771">http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/4771</A>).

<li> Add TIFF/FX tag support in libtiff.

</UL>

<A NAME="tools">CHANGES IN THE TOOLS:</A>

<UL>

<li> tiff2pdf: Fail when TIFFSetDirectory() fails. This prevents
 core dumps or perhaps even arbitrary code execution when processing
 a corrupt input file (CVE-2012-3401).

<li> tiff2pdf: Fix two places where t2p_error didn't get set after a
 malloc failure. No crash risk AFAICS, but the program might not
 report exit code 1 as desired.

</UL>

<A NAME="contrib">CHANGES IN THE CONTRIB AREA:</A>

<UL>

<li> None

</UL>
