LibTiff library with support for the new BigTIFF format

LibTiff (http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/) maintainers have started work on LibTiff 4.0, the next major upgrade of the time-proven TIFF (http://www.awaresystems.be/imaging/tiff.html) codec. This upgrade will include support for the new BigTIFF file format. It is planned a preliminary version (LibTiff 4.0alpha1) will be operational by June 15, 2007. Testing and final release improvements for LibTiff 4.0 will be completed by July 30, 2007. For more information on the BigTIFF file format, we recommend AWare Systems' BigTIFF page at http://www.awaresystems.be/imaging/tiff/bigtiff.html
