          Packit Service 2594b8
        • support was added for registering new codecs external to the library
        • Packit Service 2594b8
             and for overriding the codecs that are builtin to the library
          Packit Service 2594b8
        • emulation support for the old <TT>DataType</TT> tag was improved
        • Packit Service 2594b8

        • Packit Service 2594b8
              tags whose values are not a multiple of 16 (per the spec); this
          Packit Service 2594b8
              permits old, improperly written, images to be read
          Packit Service 2594b8
        • the support for the <TT>Predictor</TT> tag was placed in a reusable
        • Packit Service 2594b8
              module so that it can be shared by multiple codecs
          Packit Service 2594b8
        • experimental compression support was added for the Deflate algorithm
        • Packit Service 2594b8

        • the DSO version of the library is now statically linked with the
        • Packit Service 2594b8
             JPEG and Deflate libraries; this means applications that link against
          Packit Service 2594b8
             the DSO do not also need to link against these ancillary libraries
