dir: /CHANGES/
Version 0.19 (2020 September 10)
* API change to use full 32 bit segment numbers, in accordance
to the JBIG2 specification.
* Better handling of end of input data stream and and when
encountering errors in the arithmetic decoder stream. This
should improve many situations where jbig2dec appeared to
run forever.
* Fix several bugs related to signedness or over-/underflow
checks that were not robust.
* Bug fixes for issues reported by Coverity/OSS-fuzz.
* Add option to limit memory usage to command line tool.
* Update manpages, and command line tool usage.
Version 0.18 (2020 February 11)
* Performance enhancements related to decoding of MMR and generic
regions as well as composing images onto pages.
* Bug fixes for a few issues reported by Coverity and OSS-Fuzz.
Version 0.17 (2019 September 16)
* Improved test suite by verifying input file contents and adding
all ubc test streams. Fixed bugs where previously missing ubc
test streams were decoded incorrectly.
* Bug fixes for a few issues reported by Coverity.
* Moved version number to jbig2.h, and adapted configure
correspondingly. Added pkg-config file to be installed
along side library.
Version 0.16 (2019 April 04)
* API change allowing for library users to get the custom allocator
so it may be freed if necessary. This is useful if the allocator
is extended with e.g. a custom pointer needed by the allocator
callbacks.
Version 0.15 (2018 September 04)
* Bug fix release, with many security related and stability fixes
as well as better tolerance/behaviour with out of spec files
Version 0.14 (2017 October 04)
* Bug fix release.
Version 0.13 (2016 April 07)
* Bug fix release.
Version 0.12 (2014 October 1)
* Bug fix release.
Version 0.11 (2010 February 2)
* Support for generic regions with typical prediction (042_8.jb2)
* Correct bitmap offsets with transposed text (042_19.jb2)

* Manpage for jbig2dec
* Code cleanup and robustness fixes
Version 0.10 (2009 May 28)

Adobe encoder.
Version 0.4 (released 2003 August 1)
