TwelveMonkeys ImageIO 3.7.0 release notes
The TwelveMonkeys ImageIO version 3.7.0 is ready for release.
Thanks to everyone who has committed code, patches, filed bug reports or otherwise contributed to the development of this version!
What's new?
Initial WebP read support. Currently supports the basic compressed format, but not the lossless or compressed with lossless alpha. This work is still in progress. Let me know if you need it, and consider supporting the project if you do!
Improvements to the JPEG and TIFF plugins, and interoperability tests for JAI and JEP-262.
Rewrite of JPEG thumbnail handling, to be more efficient and more lenient about malformed thumbnails (warnings instead of exceptions), to allow readAll to complete, even if the thumbnail is broken.
Read support for XWD and PNTG legacy formats.
This version adds initial support for JPMS modules, via Automatic-Module-Name in JAR manifest. The module naming will be used in the 4.0 release, which will also require/support more recent Java versions and use JPMS modules. Feedback and reports on this feature is highly appreciated.
