The image rendering library isn't named libpr0n for nothing.

It's still used, it's part of what firefox so great.

Why the name "libpr0n"?

The main goal of the library is to render pornographic images in an efficient way. Plus, the name "imglib2" is boring.

Hey, they gave you libpr0n (safe-ish for work). The least you could do is to share some of the stuff back to them.

If you could view pr0n... say with libPr0nLite, then you'd have wr3ck3d wr1sts and thuck3dthumbz.

Wow, libpr0n does exist. I thought it was just a joke.

Before they (uncutely) renamed it to imglib2, the Mozilla's image reader library was officially called libpr0n.

Not really, Mozilla uses Libpr0n.

No, Mozilla uses libpr0n AKA libimg2 which uses libjpeg code.

The same type of people who thought up libpr0n.

Well the image rendering library is named libpr0n :)

1) I often find PNGs to be smaller than GIFs.
2) Who cannot see PNGs? IE supports them, Opera supports them, Netscape/libpr0n-based browsers all support PNGs. Hell, even Links 2 when run in X or svgalib supports PNG.

Also, don't forget that Mozilla uses the libpr0n image library.

Well, it does integrate libpr0n.

Because it works with libpr0n

Yes.

libpr0n is the Mozilla image rendering library. The developers decided to call it what it's gonna be used for 95% of the time anyway. Check out the site at http://www.libpr0n.com/. The humor didn't stop at just the lib name.

libpr0n was the working name for the new static image renderer. It was later renamed to imlib2 or something like that. More info at libpr0n.com
