Version 9a 19-Jan-2014
|
|
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add support for wide gamut color spaces (JFIF version 2).
|
|
|
|
Improve clarity and accuracy in color conversion modules.
|
|
|
|
Note: Requires rebuild of test images.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Extend the bit depth support to all values from 8 to 12
|
|
|
|
(BITS_IN_JSAMPLE configuration option in jmorecfg.h).
|
|
|
|
jpegtran now supports N bits sample data precision with all N from 8 to 12
|
|
|
|
in a single instance. Thank to Roland Fassauer for inspiration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Try to resolve issues with new boolean type definition.
|
|
|
|
Thank also to v4hn for suggestion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enable option to use default Huffman tables for lossless compression

|
|
with reversible color transform. Thank to Benny Alexandar for hint.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Extend the entropy decoding structure, so that extraneous bytes between
|
|
|
|
compressed scan data and following marker can be reported correctly.
|
|
|
|
Thank to Nigel Tao for hint.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add jpegtran -wipe option and extension for -crop.
|
|
|
|
Thank to Andrew Senior, David Clunie, and Josef Schmid for suggestion.

Version 9 13-Jan-2013
|
|
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add cjpeg -rgb1 option to create an RGB JPEG file, and insert
|
|
|
|
a simple reversible color transform into the processing which
|
|
|
|
significantly improves the compression.
|
|
|
|
The recommended command for lossless coding of RGB images is now
|
|
|
|
cjpeg -rgb1 -block 1 -arithmetic.
|
|
|
|
As said, this option improves the compression significantly, but
|
|
|
|
the files are not compatible with JPEG decoders prior to IJG v9
|
|
|
|
due to the included color transform.
|
|
|
|
The used color transform and marker signaling is compatible with
|
|
|
|
other JPEG standards (e.g., JPEG-LS part 2).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Remove the automatic de-ANSI-fication support (Automake 1.12).
|
|
|
|
Thank also to Nitin A Kamble for suggestion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add remark for jpeg_mem_dest() in jdatadst.c.
|
|
|
|
Thank to Elie-Gregoire Khoury for the hint.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Support files with invalid component identifiers (created
|
|
|
|
by Adobe PDF). Thank to Robin Watts for the suggestion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Adapt full buffer case in jcmainct.c for use with scaled DCT.
|
|
|
|
Thank to Sergii Biloshytskyi for the suggestion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add type identifier for declaration of noreturn functions.
|
|
|
|
Thank to Brett L. Moore for the suggestion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Correct argument type in format string, avoid compiler warnings.
|
|
|
|
Thank to Vincent Torri for hint.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add missing #include directives in configuration checks, avoid
|
|
|
|
configuration errors. Thank to John Spencer for the hint.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
Version 8d 15-Jan-2012
|
|
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add cjpeg -rgb option to create RGB JPEG files.
|
|
|
|
Using this switch suppresses the conversion from RGB
|
|
|
|
colorspace input to the default YCbCr JPEG colorspace.
|
|
|
|
This feature allows true lossless JPEG coding of RGB color images.
|
|
|
|
The recommended command for this purpose is currently
|
|
|
|
cjpeg -rgb -block 1 -arithmetic.
|
|
|
|
SmartScale capable decoder (introduced with IJG JPEG 8) required.
|
|
|
|
Thank to Michael Koch for the initial suggestion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add option to disable the region adjustment in the transupp crop code.
|
|
|
|
Thank to Jeffrey Friedl for the suggestion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thank to Richard Jones and Edd Dawson for various minor corrections.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thank to Akim Demaille for configure.ac cleanup.

|
|
Version 8c 16-Jan-2011
|
|
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add option to compression library and cjpeg (-block N) to use
|
|
|
|
different DCT block size.
|
|
|
|
All N from 1 to 16 are possible. Default is 8 (baseline format).
|
|
|
|
Larger values produce higher compression,
|
|
|
|
smaller values produce higher quality.
|
|
|
|
SmartScale capable decoder (introduced with IJG JPEG 8) required.

|
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Repair problem in new memory source manager with corrupt JPEG data.
|
|
|
|
Thank to Ted Campbell and Samuel Chun for the report.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Repair problem in Makefile.am test target.
|
|
|
|
Thank to anonymous user for the report.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Support MinGW installation with automatic configure.
|
|
|
|
Thank to Volker Grabsch for the suggestion.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Version 8a 28-Feb-2010
|
|
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Writing tables-only datastreams via jpeg_write_tables works again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Support 32-bit BMPs (RGB image with Alpha channel) for read in cjpeg.
|
|
|
|
Thank to Brett Blackham for the suggestion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Improve accuracy in floating point IDCT calculation.
|
|
|
|
Thank to Robert Hooke for the hint.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 8 10-Jan-2010
|
|
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
jpegtran now supports the same -scale option as djpeg for "lossless" resize.
|
|
|
|
An implementation of the JPEG SmartScale extension is required for this
|
|
|
|
feature. A (draft) specification of the JPEG SmartScale extension is
|
|
|
|
available as a contributed document at ITU and ISO. Revision 2 or later
|
|
|
|
of the document is required (latest document version is Revision 3).
|
|
|
|
The SmartScale extension will enable more features beside lossless resize
|
|
|
|
in future implementations, as described in the document (new compression
|
|
|
|
options).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add sanity check in BMP reader module to avoid cjpeg crash for empty input
|
|
|
|
image (thank to Isaev Ildar of ISP RAS, Moscow, RU for reporting this error).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add data source and destination managers for read from and write to
|
|
|
|
memory buffers. New API functions jpeg_mem_src and jpeg_mem_dest.
|
|
|
|
Thank to Roberto Boni from Italy for the suggestion.

|
Version 7 27-Jun-2009
|
|
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New scaled DCTs implemented.
|
|
|
|
djpeg now supports scalings N/8 with all N from 1 to 16.
|
|
|
|
cjpeg now supports scalings 8/N with all N from 1 to 16.
|
|
|
|
Scaled DCTs with size larger than 8 are now also used for resolving the
|
|
|
|
common 2x2 chroma subsampling case without additional spatial resampling.
|
|
|
|
Separate spatial resampling for those kind of files is now only necessary
|
|
|
|
for N>8 scaling cases.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, separate scaled DCT functions are provided for direct resolving
|
|
|
|
of the common asymmetric subsampling cases (2x1 and 1x2) without additional
|
|
|
|
spatial resampling.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cjpeg -quality option has been extended for support of separate quality
|
|
|
|
settings for luminance and chrominance (or in general, for every provided
|
|
|
|
quantization table slot).
|
|
|
|
New API function jpeg_default_qtables() and q_scale_factor array in library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Added -nosmooth option to cjpeg, complementary to djpeg.
|
|
|
|
New variable "do_fancy_downsampling" in library, complement to fancy
|
|
|
|
upsampling. Fancy upsampling now uses direct DCT scaling with sizes
|
|
|
|
larger than 8. The old method is not reversible and has been removed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Support arithmetic entropy encoding and decoding.
|
|
|
|
Added files jaricom.c, jcarith.c, jdarith.c.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Straighten the file structure:
|
|
|
|
Removed files jidctred.c, jcphuff.c, jchuff.h, jdphuff.c, jdhuff.h.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
jpegtran has a new "lossless" cropping feature.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Implement -perfect option in jpegtran, new API function
|
|
|
|
jtransform_perfect_transform() in transupp. (DP 204_perfect.dpatch)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Better error messages for jpegtran fopen failure.
|
|
|
|
(DP 203_jpegtran_errmsg.dpatch)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fix byte order issue with 16bit PPM/PGM files in rdppm.c/wrppm.c:
|
|
|
|
according to Netpbm, the de facto standard implementation of the PNM formats,
|
|
|
|
the most significant byte is first. (DP 203_rdppm.dpatch)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add -raw option to rdjpgcom not to mangle the output.
|
|
|
|
(DP 205_rdjpgcom_raw.dpatch)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Make rdjpgcom locale aware. (DP 201_rdjpgcom_locale.dpatch)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add extern "C" to jpeglib.h.
|
|
|
|
This avoids the need to put extern "C" { ... } around #include "jpeglib.h"
|
|
|
|
in your C++ application. Defining the symbol DONT_USE_EXTERN_C in the
|
|
|
|
configuration prevents this. (DP 202_jpeglib.h_c++.dpatch)

|
Version 6b 27-Mar-1998
|
|
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
jpegtran has new features for lossless image transformations (rotation
|
|
|
|
and flipping) as well as "lossless" reduction to grayscale.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
jpegtran now copies comments by default; it has a -copy switch to enable
|
|
|
|
copying all APPn blocks as well, or to suppress comments. (Formerly it
|
|
|
|
always suppressed comments and APPn blocks.) jpegtran now also preserves
|
|
|
|
JFIF version and resolution information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New decompressor library feature: COM and APPn markers found in the input
|
|
|
|
file can be saved in memory for later use by the application. (Before,
|
|
|
|
you had to code this up yourself with a custom marker processor.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is an unused field "void * client_data" now in compress and decompress
|
|
|
|
parameter structs; this may be useful in some applications.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
JFIF version number information is now saved by the decoder and accepted by
|
|
|
|
the encoder. jpegtran uses this to copy the source file's version number,
|
|
|
|
to ensure "jpegtran -copy all" won't create bogus files that contain JFXX
|
|
|
|
extensions but claim to be version 1.01. Applications that generate their
|
|
|
|
own JFXX extension markers also (finally) have a supported way to cause the
|
|
|
|
encoder to emit JFIF version number 1.02.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
djpeg's trace mode reports JFIF 1.02 thumbnail images as such, rather
|
|
|
|
than as unknown APP0 markers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In -verbose mode, djpeg and rdjpgcom will try to print the contents of
|
|
|
|
APP12 markers as text. Some digital cameras store useful text information
|
|
|
|
in APP12 markers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Handling of truncated data streams is more robust: blocks beyond the one in
|
|
|
|
which the error occurs will be output as uniform gray, or left unchanged
|
|
|
|
if decoding a progressive JPEG. The appearance no longer depends on the
|
|
|
|
Huffman tables being used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Huffman tables are checked for validity much more carefully than before.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To avoid the Unisys LZW patent, djpeg's GIF output capability has been
|
|
|
|
changed to produce "uncompressed GIFs", and cjpeg's GIF input capability
|
|
|
|
has been removed altogether. We're not happy about it either, but there
|
|
|
|
seems to be no good alternative.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The configure script now supports building libjpeg as a shared library
|
|
|
|
on many flavors of Unix (all the ones that GNU libtool knows how to
|
|
|
|
build shared libraries for). Use "./configure --enable-shared" to
|
|
|
|
try this out.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New jconfig file and makefiles for Microsoft Visual C++ and Developer Studio.
|
|
|
|
Also, a jconfig file and a build script for Metrowerks CodeWarrior
|
|
|
|
on Apple Macintosh. makefile.dj has been updated for DJGPP v2, and there
|
|
|
|
are miscellaneous other minor improvements in the makefiles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
jmemmac.c now knows how to create temporary files following Mac System 7
|
|
|
|
conventions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
djpeg's -map switch is now able to read raw-format PPM files reliably.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cjpeg -progressive -restart no longer generates any unnecessary DRI markers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Multiple calls to jpeg_simple_progression for a single JPEG object
|
|
|
|
no longer leak memory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 6a 7-Feb-96
|
|
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Library initialization sequence modified to detect version mismatches
|
|
|
|
and struct field packing mismatches between library and calling application.
|
|
|
|
This change requires applications to be recompiled, but does not require
|
|
|
|
any application source code change.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All routine declarations changed to the style "GLOBAL(type) name ...",
|
|
|
|
that is, GLOBAL, LOCAL, METHODDEF, EXTERN are now macros taking the
|
|
|
|
routine's return type as an argument. This makes it possible to add
|
|
|
|
Microsoft-style linkage keywords to all the routines by changing just
|
|
|
|
these macros. Note that any application code that was using these macros
|
|
|
|
will have to be changed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DCT coefficient quantization tables are now stored in normal array order
|
|
|
|
rather than zigzag order. Application code that calls jpeg_add_quant_table,
|
|
|
|
or otherwise manipulates quantization tables directly, will need to be
|
|
|
|
changed. If you need to make such code work with either older or newer
|
|
|
|
versions of the library, a test like "#if JPEG_LIB_VERSION >= 61" is
|
|
|
|
recommended.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
djpeg's trace capability now dumps DQT tables in natural order, not zigzag
|
|
|
|
order. This allows the trace output to be made into a "-qtables" file
|
|
|
|
more easily.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New system-dependent memory manager module for use on Apple Macintosh.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fix bug in cjpeg's -smooth option: last one or two scanlines would be
|
|
|
|
duplicates of the prior line unless the image height mod 16 was 1 or 2.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Repair minor problems in VMS, BCC, MC6 makefiles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New configure script based on latest GNU Autoconf.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Correct the list of include files needed by MetroWerks C for ccommand().
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Numerous small documentation updates.
|
|
|
|

Version 6 2-Aug-95
|
|
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Progressive JPEG support: library can read and write full progressive JPEG
|
|
|
|
files. A "buffered image" mode supports incremental decoding for on-the-fly
|
|
|
|
display of progressive images. Simply recompiling an existing IJG-v5-based
|
|
|
|
decoder with v6 should allow it to read progressive files, though of course
|
|
|
|
without any special progressive display.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New "jpegtran" application performs lossless transcoding between different
|
|
|
|
JPEG formats; primarily, it can be used to convert baseline to progressive
|
|
|
|
JPEG and vice versa. In support of jpegtran, the library now allows lossless
|
|
|
|
reading and writing of JPEG files as DCT coefficient arrays. This ability
|
|
|
|
may be of use in other applications.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notes for programmers:
|
|
|
|
* We changed jpeg_start_decompress() to be able to suspend; this makes all
|
|
|
|
decoding modes available to suspending-input applications. However,
|
|
|
|
existing applications that use suspending input will need to be changed
|
|
|
|
to check the return value from jpeg_start_decompress(). You don't need to
|
|
|
|
do anything if you don't use a suspending data source.
|
|
|
|
* We changed the interface to the virtual array routines: access_virt_array
|
|
|
|
routines now take a count of the number of rows to access this time. The
|
|
|
|
last parameter to request_virt_array routines is now interpreted as the
|
|
|
|
maximum number of rows that may be accessed at once, but not necessarily
|
|
|
|
the height of every access.

Version 5b 15-Mar-95
|
|
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Correct bugs with grayscale images having v_samp_factor > 1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
jpeg_write_raw_data() now supports output suspension.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Correct bugs in "configure" script for case of compiling in

|
|
|
|
|
|
Borland C makefile and jconfig file work under either MS-DOS or OS/2.

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.
