But this is quite a different format than JPEG or better said the subset of JPEG that we know today as JPEG format and the JPEG encoder/decoders support. The whole JPEG format did have support for a lossless mode for JPEG (different on

But supported by no browser today and software support in general is quite limited. If the PNG authors would just incorporate this possibility into PNG from start it would be interesting, but it's too late now.

"Collabora clearly has a conflict of interest, as their Collabora Office products both benefit from, and compete with LibreOffice proper." But that was the point of TDF: being an umbrella for the community and the commercial partn

"...being removed from the TDF board" Not from the board, (implies board of directors), but from TDF membership (board of trustees). This essentially means you have no voting power and no benefits, but you're still free to st

Well, that's almost how it work but of course without the waiting bits. The change would be added to LOExt namespace and would be written to the document and read on load. Then the change is proposed for inclusion into the next ODF ver

JXL has Guetzli lossless JPEG compressor integrated into the standard so it produces reversible and completely standard compliant JXL images that are 15-20% smaller size. Reversible in sense that you can still convert the image back the ori

They ceased development on WebP2.. don't think they could've come up with anything better than AVIF or JXL already have anyway.

xHE-AAC from 2016 (also known as USAC) yes. The older HE-AAC from 2003 and HE-AACv2 are not. Codecs have similar names, but they are different and released at different times.

Well RED is mostly suing for their RAW video compression patents, which are just dumb an should never be allowed to be passed in the first place (and AFAIK Nikon is currently battling to invalidate that). But this is also their own problem

Camera manufacturers are old spineless companies. In all those years they have done nothing for digital image formats and it is the most important thing in a camera. They weren't even able to come up or attempt to make a standard RAW f

Most RAW formats are based on TIFF... no standard TIFF decoder can decode a RAW format either.

DSLR market has pretty much stopped (rarely any new DSLR camera is released) as everyone shifted to mirrorless cameras. Camera manufacturers mostly added HEIF (Canon, Sony, Fuji) as the non-RAW image format, because they already have HEVC f

In what way does Google control WebP? They have frozen the format and nothing will be added to it. WebP2 was abandoned. Google is also involved with JPEG XL - actually some developers that worked on WebP now work on JPEG XL. If someone cont

No. VP8 and VP9 bitstreams are frozen and stayed frozen when they decided to freeze it (they made that sure with automatic tests in libvpx that calculated the bitstream checksum) otherwise old VP8/VP9 files would stop playing. The diff

Apple probably held off adoption so that HEVC patent license situation improves a bit (at least most companies with patents join in some pool or start to offer licenses). If AV1 would be released sooner it wouldn't be even as good as H
