The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG software
This package contains C software to implement JPEG image encoding, decoding,
and transcoding. JPEG (pronounced "jay-peg") is a standardized compression
method for full-color and gray-scale images. JPEG's strong suit is compressing
-photographic images or other types of images which have smooth color and
+photographic images or other types of images that have smooth color and
brightness transitions between neighboring pixels. Images with sharp lines or
other abrupt features may not compress well with JPEG, and a higher JPEG
quality may have to be used to avoid visible compression artifacts with such

libjpeg-turbo was originally based on libjpeg/SIMD by Miyasaka Masaru, but
the TigerVNC and VirtualGL projects made numerous enhancements to the codec in
2009, including improved support for Mac OS X, 64-bit support, support for
-32-bit and big endian pixel formats (RGBX, XBGR, etc.), accelerated Huffman
-encoding/decoding, and various bug fixes. The goal was to produce a fully open

-of 80-120% of TurboJPEG/IPP. It is faster in some areas but slower in others.

+With libjpeg v7 and v8, new features were added that necessitated extending the

built to use libjpeg v7 or v8 did not work with libjpeg-turbo, since it is
based on the libjpeg v6b code base. Although libjpeg v7 and v8 are still not
as widely used as v6b, enough programs (including a few Linux distros) have
made the switch that it was desirable to provide support for the libjpeg v7/v8

-decoder when decompressing a JPEG image that has restart markers. This can
