FreeImage 3.16.0 released

What is FreeImage ?

FreeImage is an Open Source library project for developers who would like to support popular graphics image formats like PNG, BMP, JPEG, TIFF and others as needed by today's multimedia applications. FreeImage is easy to use, fast, multithreading safe, compatible with all 32-bit/64-bit versions of Windows, and cross-platform (works both with Linux and Mac OS X).

Thanks to it's ANSI C interface, FreeImage is usable in many languages including C, C++, VB, C#, Delphi, Java and also in common scripting languages such as Perl, Python, PHP, TCL or Ruby.

What's new for FreeImage ?

Release 3.16.0 brings two brand new plugins: a WebP plugin and a JPEG-XR plugin. It also provides better support for RAW, JPEG-2000, BMP, SGI, ICO, PSD, TIFF, TGA, GIF formats, as well as enhanced functions for JPEG lossless transformations. The rescale function is also slightly improved.
The library has been updated with the new ZLib (1.2.8), LibJPEG (9a), LibPNG (1.6.10), LibTIFF (4.0.3), LibRaw (0.16.0), OpenJPEG (2.1.0), LibWebP (0.4.0), LibJXR (1.1).
