The first release candidate of jpylyzer 2.0 is now available for community testing.
Jpylyzer is an open source validator and feature extractor for JP2 images, and part of the OPF reference toolset.
This release contains some major new features including:
- Validation of raw codestreams
- An option to generate NISO MIX output (code contributed by Thomas Ledoux of Bibliothèque nationale de France)
- Support for additional codestream marker segments
It also introduces some changes to the output format. Since these changes may cause backward compatibility issues in existing workflows, there is also an option to generate output in the previous (jpylyzer 1.x) format.
We have also made a number of continuous integration improvements.
Take a look at the draft release notes for further details on the changes.
Feedback welcome
We invite you to download and test the release candidate. If you experience a problem please report it on the jpylyzer issue tracker on GitHub or contact us.
We will continue internal testing of the release candidate and there may be a few small changes before the public production release.
Our thanks go to all contributors and the OPF Product Board for their ongoing input and feedback.
