Short: IJG JPEG V6 source, dev. material
Author: Independent JPEG Group (jpeg-info@uunet.uu.net)
Uploader: Guenther@studbox.uni-stuttgart.de (Guenther Roehrich)
Type: gfx/conv
This distribution contains the sixth public release of the Independent JPEG
Group's free JPEG software.
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.
