Guess that doesn't stand for everything.
That freeze won't start until around Feb. 8, as announced. The jpeg
changes were announced earlier by the maintainer on this list on Jan.

Memory on my part had failed at this point. I recall both the HEADS-UP and
the announcement but thought that the announcement had stated an earlier
date. My mix up, Thanks for clearing it up.

Was there some type of security concern that caused this bump of jpeg in
the first place or was it just a creeping featurism?
The Independent JPEG group has always announced that they are going to
incorporate changes and improvements into their software, and that it
is not fixed in stone. The pace of change has varied. Your tone
suggests that you meant "creeping" in a pejorative sense: if you
don't like the changes, you can stick with the old version, or write
your own software.
No sorry it wasn't meant in that way I had just phrased it wrong and in a
hurry. I did mean it more inquiring than anything else. I just need to
slow it down a little before I type it out and hit send.
Should there be an UPDATING entry for those that don't subscribe to ports@
?
Thanks for the replies.
