See the many release notes: https://github.com/libvips/libvips/releases
Along that version bump:
- Change source code archive compression from .gz to .xz as this the
new upstream delivery format
- Switch from autotools to meson build system (see upstream commit
538aa2a841)
- Update the LICENSE file (see upstream commit
057703938e)
This fixes the following vulnerabilities:
- CVE-2025-29769:
libvips is a demand-driven, horizontally threaded image processing
library. The heifsave operation could incorrectly determine the
presence of an alpha channel in an input when it was not possible to
determine the colour interpretation, known internally within libvips
as "multiband". There aren't many ways to create a "multiband" input,
but it is possible with a well-crafted TIFF image. If a "multiband"
TIFF input image had 4 channels and HEIF-based output was requested,
this led to libvips creating a 3 channel HEIF image without an alpha
channel but then attempting to write 4 channels of data. This caused a
heap buffer overflow, which could crash the process. This
vulnerability is fixed in 8.16.1.

- CVE-2025-59933:
libvips is a demand-driven, horizontally threaded image processing
library. For versions 8.17.1 and below, when libvips is compiled with
support for PDF input via poppler, the pdfload operation is affected
by a buffer read overflow when parsing the header of a crafted PDF
with a page that defines a width but not a height. Those using libvips
compiled without support for PDF input are unaffected as well as
thosewith support for PDF input via PDFium. This issue is fixed in
version 8.17.2. A workaround for those affected is to block the
VipsForeignLoadPdf operation via vips_operation_block_set, which is
available in most language bindings, or to set VIPS_BLOCK_UNTRUSTED
environment variable at runtime, which will block all untrusted
loaders including PDF input via poppler.
