Re: [Libjpeg-devel-6x] Is version 6b still being supported for security patches??

[Bob F. <bfr...@si...>]

Distributions like Debian likely have security patches for 6b but the 
Independent JPEG Group (Guido Vollbeding) is definitely not supporting 
it.  While it was used for a great many years, 6b is an antique 
version and should no longer be used.

Volunteers have produced updated versions of formal IJG releases and 
they are available as lettered versions at http://www.ijg.org/files/.

Many people/distributions are using TurboJPEG, which is not supported 
by IJG.  There are other variants of libjpeg which are also not 
supported by IJG.
