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.
