Libjpeg-turbo has been the default jpeg image processor on Gentoo |
| 2 |
for some time now. But when I updated my system recently, the latest |
| 3 |
(unstable) libjpeg-turbo-1.3.0-r2 seems to have taken a giant step |
| 4 |
backward. Here is the Gentoo changelog for 1.3.0-r2: |

|
| 6 |
"Revert back to .so.62 with 2 functions backported from .so.8, namely |
| 7 |
jpeg_mem_dest() and jpeg_mem_src(). ABIs .so.7 and .so.8 are dead and |
| 8 |
shouldn't be used anywhere anymore." |

This sudden change required the re-emerge of a LOT of packages. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I have not been able to find any background information on the |
| 13 |
reason for this change. Does anyone know the story behind this |
| 14 |
elimination of the newer JPEG ABI's and the step back to .so.62? |
| 15 |
Has any functionality, such as lossless cropping, been affected? |
