Hi all,

By Savko Sergey I have just been pointed to the upcoming BPG image  
compression library [1].

Quoting their website:

"""
BPG (Better Portable Graphics) is a new image format. Its purpose is  
to replace the JPEG image format when quality or file size is an  
issue. Its main advantages are:

    High compression ratio. Files are much smaller than JPEG for  
similar quality.
    Supported by most Web browsers with a small Javascript decoder  
(gzipped size: 55 KB).
    Based on a subset of the HEVC open video compression standard.
    Supports the same chroma formats as JPEG (grayscale, YCbCr 4:2:0,  
4:2:2, 4:4:4) to reduce the losses during the conversion. An alpha  
channel is supported. The RGB, YCgCo and CMYK color spaces are also  
supported.
    Native support of 8 to 14 bits per channel for a higher dynamic range.
    Lossless compression is supported.
    Various metadata (such as EXIF, ICC profile, XMP) can be included.
"""

We should take a look at this new compression library and check if it  
is usable in NX.

Mike
