This isn't the default jpeg library. That's libjpeg. In this case, the `jpeg` bit isn't as interesting as the `-turbo` bit. Keeping up with the fastest way to implement JPEG on new architectures and CPUs is worthwhile.
- st_goliath 3y agoDepends on what exactly the two of you mean by "default library". It's a fork of libjpeg alright, but from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libjpeg#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libjpeg#History we do get this: > In 2019, libjpeg-turbo became the ISO and ITU endorsed reference implementation for the JPEG format. [13] The paragraph that follows might help to clarify why this happened.
- regularfry 3y agoThat's entirely fair, but also worth pointing out that (according to the google groups post) libjpeg-turbo doesn't implement all of the standard. To be even more fair, I don't know if libjpeg does either.
