It's worth noting that libjpeg-turbo is now an official reference |
| 13 |
implementation. https://jpeg.org/items/20190204_press.html |

Also of interest is the fact that libjpeg-turbo can be built to be |
| 16 |
ABI-compatible with jpeg-7 and jpeg-8, though not the current jpeg-9. I |
| 17 |
added a turbo-based media-libs/jpeg-compat for version 8 to |
| 18 |
steam-overlay. |
