Devpt are happening here: http://jpeg.sf.net.
I created this sf.net project back then when looking for info on IJG +
lossless patch. I was afraid info would get lost so I simply gather
all JPEG implementation there (IJG 6b, lossless patch, JPEG-LS, jasper
...). I was only very recently pointed to libjpeg sf.net project
(which was created after mine).
There hasn't been much discussion on the jpeg ML:
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jpeg-users
I guess we all have different goals. My sole interest is to support
all kind of JPEG encoding as found in DICOM. My sole interest in
jpeg1x/ijg 6c is that AFAIK it is compatible with the previous
arithmetic encoder but is patent free. I tried working with the
debian-med people to prepare a libjpeg6c debian package ... maybe one
day.
I have even started supporting JPEG-LS within the IJG codec, but my
laptop was stolen around that time, and I never tried again. But it
would be nice if some guru out there had some time to spent on the
venerable IJG codec to support the different JPEG specifications :)
Thanks & Regards
