I believe that 3.9.0 can be (is) very close to release.

4.0.0 could be close to release but there are bad things about it 
which should be corrected.  For example, the API documentation no 
longer matches the actual API definition since typedefs were removed 
from the function definitions.  Either the APIs should be updated so 
that they are similar to the documentation, or the documentation needs 
to be updated to match the APIs.  My preference is that the APIs 
should match the previously published documentation to the maximum 
extent possible since then new code will still work with libtiff 
3.X.X, which will surely continue to be used for many more years.
