Yes.  I'll quote the second paragraph of the announcement:

CHANGES:

- dll is now called 'cygtiff3.dll' to avoid naming conflicts dlls from
other platforms. If you have an application that depends on libtiff.dll,
you must either recompile so that the app depends on cygtiff3.dll, or
take special steps to preserve libtiff.dll (see below).  Hopefully this
short-term inconvenience will reduce long-term difficulties.

And in the INSTALLATION section:

Since setup will uninstall the old version, if you want to preserve
/usr/bin/libtiff.dll, do:
   'cp /usr/bin/libtiff.dll /usr/bin/libtiff.dll.bak'
BEFORE continuing.  AFTER running setup.exe, do:
   'cp /usr/bin/libtiff.dll.bak /usr/bin/libtiff.dll'
(yes, I know this is obvious; I just wanted to emphasize that there is
no automated way of doing it)

Since you already updated without reading this announcement or
preserving your old libtiff.dll, you'll have to manually download
tiff-3.5.5-2.tar.gz, unpack it somewhere (NOT from /) and copy
"libtiff.dll" into /usr/bin.
