[Lcms-user] [ANNOUNCE] Little CMS 2.6 released

[<Mar...@li...>]

Hi,

I am glad to the announce the release 2.6 of the Little CMS open  
source color engine.

Version 2.6 is a featured release that introduces contexts, greatly  
improves concurrency and minimizes thread contention.  To do so, from  
this version an extra dependency of the pthreads library is required  
for all platforms except MS-Windows, which uses critical sections by  
default.


I wish to thank ARTIFEX Software, the creators of Ghost Script, for  
sponsoring this release: without their aid this functionality had  
never seen the light.


Many thanks also to all users that have tested this code, and special  
thanks to to Bob Friesenhahn and Jordi Vilar for their aid in  
incorporating the pthreads library.

Little CMS intends to be a small-footprint color management engine,  
with special focus on accuracy and performance. It uses the  
International Color Consortium standard (ICC), which is the modern  
standard when regarding to color management.

The ICC specification is widely used and is referred to in many  
International and other de-facto standards.
