I'm still working through the list of "wontfix-unmaintained" issues. But, the ones remaining total 21 and are numbered #254 to #1. (I've been working through them in reverse order.) I don't imagine it will take me long to wrap it up. I've already gotten through 50 of them so far this week.

I've completed the work of going through all of the "wontfix-unmaintained" bug reports**. All resulting code fixes are available here:

https://gitlab.com/faxguy/libtiff-tools/-/commits/master

I do not believe that there are any outstanding security issues or CVEs that were not addressed. If I've missed anything let me know, and I will address it.

Please review, apply upstream, and restore the tools to the package as they were.

Thank you,

Lee.

** There are a few bug reports which are more accurately feature requests which I did not address or which I responded to for further discussion. There are also a couple of bug reports which are too vague to really make much sense of, but I did what I could to check on things expressed there. There do remain a couple of unresolved bugs there, in particular with tiff2pdf, which are not security matters. In those cases there seems to be a workaround available, and the continued bug report may be mostly academic in nature.
