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
