Someone might want to update it with the most recent info. :) Probably so. For libtiff 'alpha' and 'beta' seem like fairly meaningless terms. For example "3.9.0beta" is clearly better than the formal 3.8.2 release. This is the current set of files appearing in the top directory of libtiff ftp sites: pics-3.8.0.tar.gz tiff-3.8.2.tar.gz tiff-3.8.2.zip tiff-3.9.0beta.tar.gz tiff-3.9.0beta.zip tiff-4.0.0alpha.tar.gz tiff-4.0.0alpha.zip tiff-4.0.0beta1.tar.gz tiff-4.0.0beta1.zip tiff-4.0.0beta2.tar.gz tiff-4.0.0beta2.zip If people really want to see libtiff 4.0.0 formally released, they should give it a serious try and report their findings (good or bad). This is a pretty big step since it involves API changes. Fixing the API after formal release will be very difficult.
