DRC 84893085 2018-07-10T15:06:46 README.ijg: Clarification regarding JPEG 2000/XR The sentence: "Indeed, one of the original reasons for developing this free software was to help force convergence on common, interoperable format standards for JPEG files." might be seen to imply that JPEG 2000 and JPEG XR are not interoperable with themselves, although it is certainly the case that those formats are not interoperable with each other, nor with ITU T.81 | ISO/IEC 10918. They are also certainly not as common as ITU T.81 | ISO/IEC 10918, and (as an example) popular web browsers will not display JPEG 2000 files. The sentence in question was originally referring to proprietary, non-standard formats and was meant to provide historical context. libjpeg was originally released prior to the adoption of JFIF as an official standard, so it encouraged adoption of JFIF as a de facto standard by providing, under a business-friendly free software license, a library for reading and writing images in that format.
DRC ed3c5273 2018-04-06T17:07:56 README.ijg: Wordsmith per ISO/ITU-T suggestions This commit merges the following paragraph from the latest libjpeg release: https://github.com/libjpeg-turbo/ijg/blob/jpeg-9c/README#L222-L229 which takes into account the fact that JFIF is now an official ISO/ITU-T standard. I also included the ISO/IEC document number for the JFIF spec (jpeg-9c included only the ITU-T rec number.) This commit also heavily wordsmiths the "FILE FORMAT WARS" section. In jpeg-7 and later, this section has become somewhat impolitic, referring to JPEG 2000 and JPEG XR as "faulty technologies" and "momentary mistakes." The original intent of this section, which was introduced in jpeg-5 and refined in jpeg-6 (https://github.com/libjpeg-turbo/ijg/blob/jpeg-5/README#L317-L338, https://github.com/libjpeg-turbo/ijg/blob/jpeg-6b/README#L335-L367) was to highlight the problem of JPEG file format divergence that existed in the 1990s prior to the adoption of JFIF as an official ISO/ITU-T standard. That problem is fortunately no longer a problem, thanks in part to the existence of libjpeg. I have attempted to preserve Tom's intent of using this section to describe which file formats the code is compatible with and why it isn't compatible with some file formats bearing the name "JPEG." Such modifications always put our project in a very awkward position, because we are not the IJG and do not claim to be, but it is still necessary for us to modify the IJG README file from time to time to eliminate obsolete information while attempting to remain as neutral as possible.
DRC 19c791cd 2018-03-08T10:55:20 Improve code formatting consistency With rare exceptions ... - Always separate line continuation characters by one space from preceding code. - Always use two-space indentation. Never use tabs. - Always use K&R-style conditional blocks. - Always surround operators with spaces, except in raw assembly code. - Always put a space after, but not before, a comma. - Never put a space between type casts and variables/function calls. - Never put a space between the function name and the argument list in function declarations and prototypes. - Always surround braces ('{' and '}') with spaces. - Always surround statements (if, for, else, catch, while, do, switch) with spaces. - Always attach pointer symbols ('*' and '**') to the variable or function name. - Always precede pointer symbols ('*' and '**') by a space in type casts. - Use the MIN() macro from jpegint.h within the libjpeg and TurboJPEG API libraries (using min() from tjutil.h is still necessary for TJBench.) - Where it makes sense (particularly in the TurboJPEG code), put a blank line after variable declaration blocks. - Always separate statements in one-liners by two spaces. The purpose of this was to ease maintenance on my part and also to make it easier for contributors to figure out how to format patch submissions. This was admittedly confusing (even to me sometimes) when we had 3 or 4 different style conventions in the same source tree. The new convention is more consistent with the formatting of other OSS code bases. This commit corrects deviations from the chosen formatting style in the libjpeg API code and reformats the TurboJPEG API code such that it conforms to the same standard. NOTES: - Although it is no longer necessary for the function name in function declarations to begin in Column 1 (this was historically necessary because of the ansi2knr utility, which allowed libjpeg to be built with non-ANSI compilers), we retain that formatting for the libjpeg code because it improves readability when using libjpeg's function attribute macros (GLOBAL(), etc.) - This reformatting project was accomplished with the help of AStyle and Uncrustify, although neither was completely up to the task, and thus a great deal of manual tweaking was required. Note to developers of code formatting utilities: the libjpeg-turbo code base is an excellent test bed, because AFAICT, it breaks every single one of the utilities that are currently available. - The legacy (MMX, SSE, 3DNow!) assembly code for i386 has been formatted to match the SSE2 code (refer to ff5685d5344273df321eb63a005eaae19d2496e3.) I hadn't intended to bother with this, but the Loongson MMI implementation demonstrated that there is still academic value to the MMX implementation, as an algorithmic model for other 64-bit vector implementations. Thus, it is desirable to improve its readability in the same manner as that of the SSE2 implementation.
DRC 8c40ac8a 2017-11-16T18:46:01 Add TurboJPEG C example and clean up Java example Also rename example.c --> example.txt and add a disclaimer to that file so people will stop trying to compile it.

DRC 54e6b8e8 2016-02-18T15:16:17 Include some comments/doc tweaks from jpeg-9+
DRC 7e3acc0e 2015-10-10T10:25:46 Rename README, LICENSE, BUILDING text files The IJG README file has been renamed to README.ijg, in order to avoid confusion (many people were assuming that that was our project's README file and weren't reading README-turbo.txt) and to lay the groundwork for markdown versions of the libjpeg-turbo README and build instructions.
