ExactImage is a fast C++ image processing library. Unlike ImageMagick, it allows operation in several color spaces and bit depths natively, resulting in much lower memory and computational requirements. Some optimized algorithms operate in 1/20 of the time ImageMagick requires, and displaying large images can be as fast as 1/10 of the time the "display" program takes.

Changes:
Lossless and faster JPEG cropping now takes residual crops into account, left over from 8x8 JPEG DCT blocks. The PDF writer was fixed to write floating point numbers in a well defined format (fixes JPEG writing on Debian and similar patched C library variants). The install targets were improved to make sure the directories exist before copying the files, as well as take DESTDIR into account in all places.
