* tif_fax3: For fax group 3 data if no EOL is detected, reading is retried without synchronisation for EOLs. (fixes issue #54)
* Updating TIFFMergeFieldInfo() with read_count=write_count=0 for FIELD_IGNORE. Updating TIFFMergeFieldInfo() with read_count=write_count=0 for FIELD_IGNORE. Improving handling when field_name = NULL. (fixes issue #532)

* TIFFWriteDirectorySec: Increment string length for ASCII tags for codec tags defined with FIELD_xxx bits, as it is done for FIELD_CUSTOM tags. (fixes issue #648)
* Do not error out on a tag whose tag count value is zero, just issue a warning.
Fix parsing a private tag 0x80a6 (fixes issue #647)

* tif_zip.c: Provide zlib allocation functions. Otherwise for zlib built with
-DZ_SOLO inflating will fail.
* Fix memory leak in _TIFFSetDefaultCompressionState. (fixes issue #676)

* tif_getimage.c: update some integer overflow checks (fixes issue #79)
* tif_getimage.c: Fix buffer underflow crash for less raster rows at TIFFReadRGBAImageOriented() (fixes issue #704, bsc#1250413, CVE-2025-9900)
* TIFFReadRGBAImage(): several fixes to avoid buffer overflows.
* Correct passing arguments to TIFFCvtIEEEFloatToNative() and TIFFCvtIEEEDoubleToNative() if HAVE_IEEEFP is not defined. (fixes issue #699)
* LZWDecode(): avoid nullptr dereference when trying to read again after EOI marker has been found with remaining output bytes (fixes issue #698)
* TIFFSetSubDirectory(): check _TIFFCheckDirNumberAndOffset() return.
* TIFFUnlinkDirectory() and TIFFWriteDirectorySec(): clear tif_rawcp when clearing tif_rawdata (fixes issue #711)
* JPEGEncodeRaw(): error out if a previous scanline failed to be written, to avoid out-of-bounds access (fixes issue #714)
* tif_jpeg: Fix bug in JPEGDecodeRaw() if JPEG_LIB_MK1_OR_12BIT is defined for 8/12bit dual mode, introduced in libjpeg-turbo 2.2, which was actually released as 3.0.
Fixes issue #717
* add assert for TIFFReadCustomDirectory infoarray check.
* ppm2tiff: Fix bug in pack_words trailing bytes, where last two bytes of each line were written wrongly. (fixes issue #467)
* fax2ps: fix regression of commit 28c38d648b64a66c3218778c4745225fe3e3a06d where TIFFTAG_FAXFILLFUNC is being used rather than an output buffer (fixes issue #649)
* tiff2pdf: Check TIFFTAG_TILELENGTH and TIFFTAGTILEWIDTH (fixes issue #650)
* tiff2pdf: check h_samp and v_samp for range 1 to 4 to avoid division by zero.
Fixes issue #654
* tiff2pdf: avoid null pointer dereference. (fixes issue #741)
