3.0.0 (2022-02-05)
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:
This release of the JasPer software introduced some changes in the API
and/or behavior of the library relative to earlier releases, which may
necessitate some small changes in code using the library (e.g., to avoid
memory leaks or other problems). Please refer to the "News" section
of the JasPer Reference Manual for more details. For convenience,
this manual is available online (for various JasPer releases) at:
