Time to dump libjpegturbo and use libjpeg-src
by Ressy from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6CPH3)
extract:
libjpeg-turbo 3.0.0 has been released, and why there may never be a libjpeg-turbo 3.1
I will continue to fix bugs in libjpeg-turbo and issue bug-fix releases
in the 3.0.x release series, but there will not be a libjpeg-turbo 3.1
release series *unless* this project can secure more general funding.
As it stands, libjpeg-turbo only has general funding for about 8-10
hours of labor per month. Finishing the 3.0 beta release required
borrowing against all expected general funding for 2023, and fixing all
of the 3.0 post-beta bugs required borrowing against all expected
general funding through September of 2024. If things continue apace,
then libjpeg-turbo is effectively in "maintenance mode".
