Hi,

What is Libjpeg ?
Libjpeg is a library which loads / saves JPEG files. This library is
designed to work with Allegro, and basically is an add on for Allegro.

You can download the latest version at the following URL :
http://www-stud.enst.fr/~vannier/jpeg/jpeg.html

Any comments are welcome.

Changes :
Version 1.03 :
------------
 - Allowed the user to load jpeg files as thumbnails : faster output.
 - Added an option to have faster but less accurate decoding.
 - Allowed the user to specify the number of colors that the library can
use
       in 8 bits mode.
 - C++ now supported (as C calls) : Just added the extern "C" ...
 - Added an example program : sample.c.
 - Made the error handling safer : there should not be any memory leaks
any
   more whith corrupted jpeg files. (Thank you Douglas Eleveld)

Version 1.02 :
-------------
 - Allowed the user to save directly in jpeg grayscale format
 - Fixed the bug which prevented the user from loading jpeg Grayscale
images.


Version 1.01 :
-------------
 - Added load_jpeg_ex to allow the user to specify parameters for the
loading 
   : RGB, or Grayscale output.
 - Added the ability to load jpeg from Allegro datafiles with the
command : 
   load_jpeg("hello.dat#ROSE",pal);. Works with load_jpeg and
load_jpeg_ex.
 - Minor Bug fixes : palette generation, warnings, packaging bugs.
 - separated the compression and decompression routines to avoid getting
the
   load functions, if you only need the save functions, and vice versa.
You
   may save a 50K on the stripped version.
Version 1.0 :
------------
Initial version
