Its changelog marks version 0.1.0 on May 17, 2023 as the first official release and says frequently used features were mostly implemented at that point. The project then expanded from a basic decoder into a set of smaller crates and integrations. The changelog records cropped decoding and output-format options in 0.4.0, parallel decoding and SIMD work in 0.5.0, HDR tone mapping and external color-management hooks in 0.6.0, WebAssembly bindings in 0.7.0, image crate integration work in 0.10.0 and 0.12.5, JPEG bitstream reconstruction in 0.11.0, and Rust 2024 adoption in 0.12.0. ### Adoption history jxl-oxide matters because JPEG XL support often depends on embeddable decoder libraries. The README documents a blanket `jxl-oxide` crate for library users and a `jxl-oxide-cli` crate that installs the command-line binary, while the crates.io and docs.rs badges show it is distributed through Rust's normal package infrastructure. ### How it is used Library users add the `jxl-oxide` crate to `Cargo.toml`; command-line users install `jxl-oxide-cli` with Cargo and run the `jxl-oxide` binary. Feature flags expose choices such as Rayon multithreading, Little CMS 2 integration, pure-Rust moxcms integration, and integration with the Rust `image` crate. ### Why package nerds care For package nerds, jxl-oxide is a signal package: it turns a modern image format with complicated browser and platform politics into a Rust-native decoder that can be packaged, audited, fuzzed, and embedded without C++ runtime assumptions. ### Timeline - 2023-05-17: 0.1.0 first official release. - 2023-11-21: 0.5.0 introduces parallelism and a pushed-data decoder API. - 2024-01-13: 0.6.0 adds HDR tone mapping and color-management integration points. - 2024-02-24: 0.7.0 adds WebAssembly bindings. - 2024-12-28: 0.11.0 implements JPEG bitstream reconstruction. - 2025-09-30: 0.12.5 adds an `image` crate decoding hook. - 2026-05-29: 0.12.6 fixes several security and correctness issues. ### Related projects - Related projects include the JPEG XL standard and libjxl reference implementation, Rust image-processing crates that can consume decoder hooks, and color-management libraries such as lcms2 and moxcms. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** jxl-oxide - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Language runtime packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/language-runtime-packages/) - Matched language runtime, compiler, or interpreter metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [little-cms2](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/little-cms2/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [rust](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [jpeg-xl](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/jpeg-xl/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, codec, image-codec, jpeg-xl, media. - [jpeg-turbo](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/jpeg-turbo/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, codec, image-codec, media. - [jasper](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/jasper/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, image-codec, media. - [openjpeg](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/openjpeg/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, image-codec, media. - [openjph](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/openjph/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, image-codec, media. - [a52dec](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/a52dec/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, codec, media. - [basis_universal](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/basis-universal/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, codec, media. - [dav1d](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/dav1d/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, codec, media. - [grokj2k](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/grokj2k/) - Both packages work with overlapping file formats or content types.
