Jon,
I have heard nothing in some time from Guido, and I'm not aware of him
producing any sort of libjpeg release.
I find the situation somewhat frustrating.
Agreed. So what's next? Is there a plan for further action, a new
primary maintainer, etc?
I think WRT gallery2, I'll see about patching the -crop call out of that
plugin.
