5.0.0 (2024-02-06)
- Removed all of the obsolete (and no longer used) make/imake-based build
infrastructure. - Removed the local copies of the source code for the external libraries
used for JPEG and TIFF support, as these local copies do not receive
bug fixes and are therefore very likely to have many serious security
vulnerabilities. Since the CMake-based build process already uses
whatever JPEG and TIFF libraries are installed on the system, these
local copies of external libraries are completely unnecessary.
