  72         <li> libtiff/{tif_dirread.c, tif_jpeg.c, tif_luv.c, tif_ojpeg.c,
  73         tif_pixarlog.c, tif_write.c}: Handle the zero strip/tile sizes
  74         properly (Dmitry V. Levin, Marcus Meissner).
  75
  76         <li> libtiff/tif_dirinfo.c: Type of the TIFFTAG_SUBIFD field changed
  77         to TIFF_IFD.
  78
  79         <li> Preliminary support for BigTIFF files: now libtiff can
  80         recognize and reject to open such images. ;-)
  81
  82         <li> libtiff/tif_dir.c: Initialize td_tilewidth and td_tilelength fields
  83         of the TIFFDirectory structure with the 0 instead of -1 to avoid
  84         confusing integer overflows in TIFFTileRowSize() for striped images.
  85
  86         <li> libtiff/tif_dir.c: Initialize td_tilewidth and td_tilelength fields
  87         of the TIFFDirectory structure with the 0 instead of -1 to avoid
  88         confusing integer overflows in TIFFTileRowSize() for striped images.
  89
  90         <li> libtiff/tif_dirinfo.c: Fix bug with tif_foundfield and reallocation
  91         of tif_fieldinfo as per bug
