Thank to John Korejwa and Massimo Ballerini for inviting me to fruitful consultations in Boston, MA and Milan, Italy.

Schmitz for corresponding business development.
Thank to Nico Zschach and Dirk Stelling of the technical support team at the Digital Images company in Halle for
providing me with extra equipment for configuration tests.
Thank to Richard F. Lyon (then of Foveon Inc.) for fruitful communication about JPEG configuration in Sigma Photo
Pro software.
Thank to Andrew Finkenstadt for hosting the ijg.org site.
Last but not least special thank to Thomas G. Lane for the original design and development of this singular software
package.
FILE FORMAT WARS
The ISO JPEG standards committee actually promotes different formats like "JPEG 2000" or "JPEG XR" which are
incompatible with original DCT-based JPEG and which are based on faulty technologies. IJG therefore does not and
will not support such momentary mistakes (see REFERENCES).
We have little or no sympathy for the promotion of these formats. Indeed, one of the original reasons for developing
this free software was to help force convergence on common, interoperable format standards for JPEG files.
Don't use an incompatible file format!
(In any case, our decoder will remain capable of reading existing JPEG image files indefinitely.)
TO DO
Version 8 is the first release of a new generation JPEG standard to overcome the limitations of the original JPEG
specification.
More features are being prepared for coming releases.
Please send bug reports, offers of help, etc. to jpeg-info@uc.ag.
