Change Details

[JPEG XL](http://sneyers.info/jxl/) is a new royalty-free format by the JPEG Group that excels at doing {near-,visually,mathematically}lossless compression. Compared to video-inspired codecs like WebP and AVIF, it [claims to preserve photographic texture better](https://cloudinary.com/blog/how_jpeg_xl_compares_to_other_image_codecs). It works well for photographs and synthetic images alike, so it may as well become some sort of universal format for Commons. The bitstream is frozen on [December 25, 2020](https://twitter.com/jonsneyers/status/1342150988623466498). ImageMagick already has [RW support](https://imagemagick.org/script/formats.php) by delegating to the reference implementation library (Apache License 2.0).
