- The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG software
- ==========================================
-
- README for release 6 of 2-Aug-95
- ================================
-
- This distribution contains the sixth public release of the Independent JPEG
- Group's free JPEG software. See the file README for legal issues.
-
- This software is the work of Tom Lane, Philip Gladstone, Luis Ortiz, Jim
- Boucher, Lee Crocker, Julian Minguillon, George Phillips, Davide Rossi,
- Ge' Weijers, and other members of the Independent JPEG Group.
-
- IJG is not affiliated with the official ISO JPEG standards committee.
-
- This port for the Amiga is done by Günther Röhrich.
-
- I used the original jpegsrc.v6.tar.gz archive ftp'ed directly from ftp.uu.net
- for compiling the programs.
-
- You can find all the files in the archive gfx/conv/jpegV6*.lha on Aminet.
-
- System requirements:
-
- - OS 2.0 or higher
-
- - programs with the ending .020881 need a 68020/68881 (or better)
-
- - JPEGTMP: must be assigned to a directory with enough free disk space
-
- - a stack size of 4000 bytes should be enough
-
- - ixemul.library is NOT needed
-
-
- ********************
- NEW IN THIS RELEASE:
- ********************
-
- - progressive JPEG files are supported
- - new program: jpegtran, for lossless transcoding between different JPEG
- formats
- - compiled with gcc 2.7.0 and libnix 1.0, switches: -O3 -fbaserel
- - all programs should be a bit faster because of that
- - see change.log for more information
-
-
- ******************
- NEW IN RELEASE 5b:
- ******************
-
- The ixemul.library is not needed any more. Starting with this release cjpeg
- and djpeg are using the Unix-like command line style. Redirection and piping
- is now fully supported. Examples:
-
- cjpeg inputfile >outputfile
- cjpeg <inputfile >outputfile
- djpeg -scale 1/4 inputfile | cjpeg >outputfile
-
- The last example creates a 1/4 scaled JPEG file of your inputfile. Note
- that a temporary ppm file will not be created. To use this with the
- standard Amiga shell you need one of those pipe archives:
-
- Aminet: util/shell/MJPipe09.lha
- util/shell/Pipe_1_5.lha
- util/cli/pipe3310.lha
-
- Use the -outfile option if you don't want to use redirection. New shell
- scripts for the jpegAGA program are also included in this release. They are
- now working with all versions of djpeg and not just with those using the "two-
- file" command line style.
-
-
- If you found a bug then please let me know about it. (Every behaviour that
- does not correspond to the original documentation is considered a bug.)
- If it is not Amiga-specific you may also report it directly to the
- Independent JPEG Group.
