CHANGE LOG for Independent JPEG Group's JPEG software
+Version 6b 27-Mar-1998
+-----------------------
+
+jpegtran has new features for lossless image transformations (rotation
+and flipping) as well as "lossless" reduction to grayscale.
+
+jpegtran now copies comments by default; it has a -copy switch to enable
+copying all APPn blocks as well, or to suppress comments. (Formerly it
+always suppressed comments and APPn blocks.) jpegtran now also preserves
+JFIF version and resolution information.
+
+New decompressor library feature: COM and APPn markers found in the input
+file can be saved in memory for later use by the application. (Before,
+you had to code this up yourself with a custom marker processor.)
+
+There is an unused field "void * client_data" now in compress and decompress
+parameter structs; this may be useful in some applications.
+
+JFIF version number information is now saved by the decoder and accepted by
+the encoder. jpegtran uses this to copy the source file's version number,
+to ensure "jpegtran -copy all" won't create bogus files that contain JFXX
+extensions but claim to be version 1.01. Applications that generate their
+own JFXX extension markers also (finally) have a supported way to cause the
+encoder to emit JFIF version number 1.02.
+
+djpeg's trace mode reports JFIF 1.02 thumbnail images as such, rather
+than as unknown APP0 markers.
+
+In -verbose mode, djpeg and rdjpgcom will try to print the contents of
+APP12 markers as text. Some digital cameras store useful text information
+in APP12 markers.
+
+Handling of truncated data streams is more robust: blocks beyond the one in
+which the error occurs will be output as uniform gray, or left unchanged
+if decoding a progressive JPEG. The appearance no longer depends on the
+Huffman tables being used.
+
+Huffman tables are checked for validity much more carefully than before.
+
+To avoid the Unisys LZW patent, djpeg's GIF output capability has been
+changed to produce "uncompressed GIFs", and cjpeg's GIF input capability
+has been removed altogether. We're not happy about it either, but there
+seems to be no good alternative.
+
+The configure script now supports building libjpeg as a shared library
+on many flavors of Unix (all the ones that GNU libtool knows how to
+build shared libraries for). Use "./configure --enable-shared" to
+try this out.
+
+New jconfig file and makefiles for Microsoft Visual C++ and Developer Studio.
+Also, a jconfig file and a build script for Metrowerks CodeWarrior
+on Apple Macintosh. makefile.dj has been updated for DJGPP v2, and there
+are miscellaneous other minor improvements in the makefiles.
+
+jmemmac.c now knows how to create temporary files following Mac System 7
+conventions.
+
+djpeg's -map switch is now able to read raw-format PPM files reliably.
+
+cjpeg -progressive -restart no longer generates any unnecessary DRI markers.
+
+Multiple calls to jpeg_simple_progression for a single JPEG object
+no longer leak memory.
+
