- update to 2.1.2:
* Fixed a regression introduced by 2.1 beta1[13] that caused the remaining
GAS implementations of AArch64 (Arm 64-bit) Neon SIMD functions (which are used
by default with GCC for performance reasons) to be placed in the `.rodata`
section rather than in the `.text` section. This caused the GNU linker to
automatically place the `.rodata` section in an executable segment, which
prevented libjpeg-turbo from working properly with other linkers and also
represented a potential security risk.
* Fixed an issue whereby the `tjTransform()` function incorrectly computed the
MCU block size for 4:4:4 JPEG images with non-unary sampling factors and thus
unduly rejected some cropping regions, even though those regions aligned with
8x8 MCU block boundaries.
* Fixed a regression introduced by 2.1 beta1[13] that caused the build system
to enable the Arm Neon SIMD extensions when targetting Armv6 and other legacy
architectures that do not support Neon instructions.
* libjpeg-turbo now performs run-time detection of AltiVec instructions on
FreeBSD/PowerPC systems if AltiVec instructions are not enabled at compile
time. This allows both AltiVec-equipped and non-AltiVec-equipped CPUs to be
supported using the same build of libjpeg-turbo.
* cjpeg now accepts a `-strict` argument similar to that of djpeg and
jpegtran, which causes the compressor to abort if an LZW-compressed GIF input
image contains incomplete or corrupt image data. (forwarded request 933591 from dirkmueller)
