The project has been dead for over a year. I don’t know if I have the time or passion to continue its development, but as of right now I have some hope that it might return. Life has hit me hard. Now is the time that will form my future. I’ve been very stressed with school, exams, and other work. I’m not sorry for what I did; this “break” I took made me a better person.
For now I’m not going to update this topic, but rather create a new one once there is progress. For anyone waiting, there will be at least 1 last sign of life. A JPEG decoding library aimed at high performance and throughput. If I still have any will to move forward, you might see libraries for other image formats aiming for the same goals, or even better—an all-in-one solution for any image needs, including utilities for what was called “EditableImage.” I have no idea what happened to it or any of the new APIs. What I surely know is is is that it got much better, and if I’m not wrong, it finally supports taking a buffer as input, which is a huge improvement for performance, as working with buffers is much faster. One of the longest tasks was actually turning a buffer into a table, not decoding the actual image. I’m not going to make any statements yet, but I expect astonishing results with these new optimizations. I still have a lot to catch up on. I see native code was also upgraded with some new features (or old undocumented stuff I didn’t know about). I’m ending the yapping here; thank you for listening to me. Again, I’m sorry for dying and not updating anything.
About the Python script… I’m sick of that library constantly changing its API. If you have any issues, read the docs of the library and find the method and update it if needed (as mentioned above by BearBoi). I already had to update it 2 times because the person behind it did a lot of breaking changes. My Python skills are not so great, and I still don’t know how to version lock dependencies. I’m probably going to delete that repository and archive any comments mentioning it, as I’m sure there are a lot of better ways to get this work done. I know the script is bad lmao.
