Changes since previous Aminet release:
- Merged in changes from IJG jpeglib v9e.
- Disabled asynchronous i/o when loading images via OS4 vector-port
filesystems, removing overhead to improve performance (still enabled
for older filesystems such as FFS2 and SFS).
- OS4 version recompiled with GCC 11.2.0.
- MorphOS and WarpOS versions recompiled with VBCC 0.9h.
- Tweaked version string so that CPU information can be viewed with
the version command.
FEATURES
- Supports regular JFIF files, and also many JPEG variant formats such
as Exif, Adobe, Photoshop, Mavi, Windows, JCCK/CMYK colorspace files
and other less common formats
- Supports both normal and progressive JPEG files
- SmartScale lossless capable JPEG decoder
- Can optionally downscale large images to fit the screen, during the
JPEG decoding process, allowing huge oversized images to be loaded
and displayed much faster.
- Full true colour (24-bit) and high quality reduced colour (256 colours
or less) and greyscale output modes, for graphics cards and native Amiga
displays respectively
- Highly optimized datatype dispatch engine, and fast JPEG decoder,
resulting in a very efficient, compact and quick JPEG datatype
- Asynchronous file i/o and double buffering techniques (WarpOS only),
which speeds up image decoding
- Optimized versions for 68020, 030, 040 and 060
- PowerPC support with native OS4, WarpOS and MorphOS versions
- AltiVec speed optimizations for OS4 and MorphOS
- Alter the pen allocation precision when images are remapped to an
8-bit display
- Specific support for the AmigaOS picture.datatype v44+, when available
- The dithering feature of the AmigaOS picture.datatype v44+ can be
configured to your liking (e.g. disabled for 15/16-bit displays)
- Based on the Independent JPEG Group's jpeglib 9e/6b and libjpeg-turbo

68k version
- Kickstart 3.0 or higher
- 68020 processor or higher (optimized versions included)
- picture.datatype v43 or higher
(supplied with AmigaOS 3.1.4, 3.2, 3.5, 3.9, CyberGraphX, P96 or AfA OS)
WarpOS version
- Kickstart 3.0 or higher
