- TIFFFindFieldInfo() (and related functions in tif_dirinfo.c) is now deprecated in favour of TIFFFindField. Right now, it just silently returns 0. But a return value of 0 could just mean that the particular tag was not found, not that we no longer support this API. I feel
If a function no longer has any use, we should simply delete it since this is the time to do so. To me "deprecate" means that the function continues to work, but that code should move away from it.
- We need something better than TIFFLIB_VERSION as a date so that we can easily compile code that works under both libtiff 3.9.5 and 4.0.0. Right now, they both have the same TIFFLIB_VERSION value. Yes, I know TIFFGetVersion() can be used but it doesn't help me if I need a compile time library API decision.
In GraphicsMagick, the only define I am using which identifies a feature in libtiff 4.0 is TIFF_VERSION_BIG. The cases should be very rare that perfectly written code should care about which library version is being used.
I do agree that the versioning info is rather lame.
