CHANGE LOG for Independent JPEG Group's JPEG software
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 5a 7-Dec-94
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Changed color conversion roundoff behavior so that grayscale values are
|
|
represented exactly. (This causes test image files to change.)
|
|
|
|
Make ordered dither use 16x16 instead of 4x4 pattern for a small quality
|
|
improvement.
|
|
|
|
New configure script based on latest GNU Autoconf.
|
|
Fix configure script to handle CFLAGS correctly.
|
|
Rename *.auto files to *.cfg, so that configure script still works if
|
|
file names have been truncated for DOS.
|
|
|
|
Fix bug in rdbmp.c: didn't allow for extra data between header and image.
|
|
|
|
Modify rdppm.c/wrppm.c to handle 2-byte raw PPM/PGM formats for 12-bit data.
|
|
|
|
Fix several bugs in rdrle.c.
|
|
|
|
NEED_SHORT_EXTERNAL_NAMES option was broken.
|
|
|
|
Revise jerror.h/jerror.c for more flexibility in message table.
|
|
|
|
Repair oversight in jmemname.c NO_MKTEMP case: file could be there
|
|
but unreadable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 5 24-Sep-94
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Version 5 represents a nearly complete redesign and rewrite of the IJG
|
|
software. Major user-visible changes include:
|
|
* Automatic configuration simplifies installation for most Unix systems.
|
|
* A range of speed vs. image quality tradeoffs are supported.
|
|
This includes resizing of an image during decompression: scaling down
|
|
by a factor of 1/2, 1/4, or 1/8 is handled very efficiently.
|
|
* New programs rdjpgcom and wrjpgcom allow insertion and extraction
|
|
of text comments in a JPEG file.
|
|
|
|
The application programmer's interface to the library has changed completely.
|
|
Notable improvements include:
|
|
* We have eliminated the use of callback routines for handling the
|
|
uncompressed image data. The application now sees the library as a
|
|
set of routines that it calls to read or write image data on a
|
|
scanline-by-scanline basis.
|
|
* The application image data is represented in a conventional interleaved-
|
|
pixel format, rather than as a separate array for each color channel.
|
|
This can save a copying step in many programs.
|
|
* The handling of compressed data has been cleaned up: the application can
|
|
supply routines to source or sink the compressed data. It is possible to
|
|
suspend processing on source/sink buffer overrun, although this is not
|
|
supported in all operating modes.
|
|
* All static state has been eliminated from the library, so that multiple
|
|
instances of compression or decompression can be active concurrently.
|
|
* JPEG abbreviated datastream formats are supported, ie, quantization and
|
|
Huffman tables can be stored separately from the image data.
|
|
* And not only that, but the documentation of the library has improved
|
|
considerably!
|
|
|
|
|
|
The last widely used release before the version 5 rewrite was version 4A of
|
|
18-Feb-93. Change logs before that point have been discarded, since they
|
|
are not of much interest after the rewrite.
