Jpegoptim v1.5.4 - Copyright (C)  Timo Kokkonen, 1996-2023. All Rights Reserved.


REQUIREMENTS
	Independent JPEG Group's jpeg library (libjpeg) version 6b or later.
	(Alternatively should also work with libjpeg-turbo or mozjpeg)


TESTED PLATFORMS
	Linux
	MacOS
	Windows (setargv.obj "link option" is needed for wildcards expansion to work)

	tar file, make necessary changes to the Makefile,  and then

		tar xzvf jpegoptim-1.5.4.tar.gz
		cd jpegoptim-1.5.4
		./configure
		make
		make strip
		make install

	v1.4.0 - use memory (instead of temporary files) during optimization,
		 support for reading input from stdin (and sending output to
                 stdout),
		 report also libjpeg version when --version option used,
		 new option --strip-none to preserve "all" markers,
		 other minor fixes & cleanup
	v1.3.1 - XMP marker support and new --csv option (by Matteo Croce),
		 use DESTDIR instead of INSTALL_ROOT (by Samuli Suominen),
