I've been asked to write a news item for jpeg upgrade by few developers. |

Personally I don't see it's required, it's a default library upgrade, |
| 3 |
but here's my attempt: |

Since media-libs/jpeg-7 the .so version changed from libjpeg.so.62 |
| 14 |
to libjpeg.so.7. This will break temporarily a lot of packages, |
| 15 |
including environments like Gnome, Xfce4 or KDE. You will need to run |
| 16 |
revdep-rebuild from gentoolkit package. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Installing media-libs/jpeg-compat isn't the correct solution because |
| 19 |
the package is meant to be used only with binary only applications like |
| 20 |
games-strategy/savage2-bin where recompiling isn't an option. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
You can temporarily install media-libs/jpeg-compat to get libjpeg.so.62 |
| 23 |
back so you'll be able to run applications again but it will most likely |
| 24 |
cause you random crashing issues. [1]. |
