You should find that 4.2.0 is forward-compatible with both 4.3.0 and 4.4.0.
There was a small ABI break with 4.4.0, but this concerned the use of private 
symbols not part of the public API.

It might be worth contacting the maintainer of this facility to ask if they 
would be willing to update to include the more recent libtiff releases.

However, the maintainer of this facility also maintains the 
"abi-compliance-checker" tool.  If you run this tool on the 4.2.0->4.3.0 and 
4.3.0->4.4.0 releases, you can get the full API and ABI difference reports 
yourself and assess the changes.


Kind regards,
Roger
