Thus the numbering scheme needed to tell which version was newer than the required one. A variety of version numbering schemes have been created to keep track of different versions of a piece of software. The ubiquity of computers has also led to these schemes being used in contexts outside computing. In sequence-based software versioning schemes, each software release is assigned a unique identifier that consists of one or more sequences of numbers or letters.

This is the extent of the commonality; schemes vary widely in areas such as the number of sequences, the attribution of meaning to individual sequences, and the means of incrementing the sequences. In some schemes, sequence-based identifiers are used to convey the significance of changes between releases.

Changes are classified by significance level, and the decision of which sequence to change between releases is based on the significance of the changes from the previous release, whereby the first sequence is changed for the most significant changes, and changes to sequences after the first represent changes of decreasing significance.

Depending on the scheme, significance may be assessed by lines of code changed, function points added or removed, the potential impact on customers in terms of work required to adopt a new version, risk of bugs or undeclared breaking changes, degree of changes in visual layout, the number of new features, or almost anything the product developers or marketers deem to be significant, including marketing desire to stress the “relative goodness” of the new version.

Semantic versioning aka SemVer [1] is a widely-adopted version scheme [6] that uses a three-part version number Major.

Patch , an optional pre-release tag, and an optional build meta tag. In this scheme, risk and functionality are the measures of significance. Breaking changes are indicated by increasing the major number high risk ; new, non-breaking features increment the minor number medium risk ; and all other non-breaking changes increment the patch number lowest risk.

The presence of a pre-release tag -alpha, -beta indicates substantial risk, as does a major number of zero 0. As an example of inferring compatibility from a SemVer version, software which relies on version 2. Developers may choose to jump multiple minor versions at a time to indicate that significant features have been added, but are not enough to warrant incrementing a major version number; for example Internet Explorer 5 from 5. This may be done to emphasize the value of the upgrade to the software user, or, as in Adobe’s case, to represent a release halfway between major versions although levels of sequence based versioning are not necessarily limited to a single digit, as in Blender version 2.

A different approach is to use the major and minor numbers, along with an alphanumeric string denoting the release type, e. A software release train using this approach might look like 0. It is a common practice in this scheme to lock out new features and breaking changes during the release candidate phases, and for some teams, even betas are locked down to bug fixes only, to ensure convergence on the target release.

Again, in these examples, the definition of what constitutes a “major” as opposed to a “minor” change is entirely subjective and up to the author, as is what defines a “build”, or how a “revision” differs from a “minor” change.

Shared libraries in Solaris and Linux may use the current. A similar problem of relative change significance and versioning nomenclature exists in book publishing, where edition numbers or names can be chosen based on varying criteria. In most proprietary software, the first released version of a software product has version 1.

Some projects use the major version number to indicate incompatible releases. Often programmers write new software to be backward compatible , i. This enables people who run a high availability computer cluster to keep most of the computers up and running while one machine at a time is shut down, upgraded, and restored to service.

Often packet headers and file format include a version number — sometimes the same as the version number of the software that wrote it; other times a “protocol version number” independent of the software version number.

The code to handle old deprecated protocols and file formats is often seen as cruft. Software in the experimental stage alpha or beta often uses a zero in the first “major” position of the sequence to designate its status.

However, this scheme is only useful for the early stages, not for upcoming releases with established software where the version number has already progressed past 0. Semantic versioning actually does not specify specific terms for development stages; the comparison is simply in lexicographical order. There are two schools of thought regarding how numeric version numbers are incremented. Most free and open-source software packages, including MediaWiki , treat versions as a series of individual numbers, separated by periods, with a progression such as 1.

On the other hand, some software packages identify releases by decimal numbers: 1. The standard GNU version numbering scheme is major. In some cases, developers may decide to reset the major version number. This is sometimes used to denote a new development phase being released. For example, Minecraft Alpha ran from version 1. Once the game was fully released, the major version number again reset to 1.

When printed, the sequences may be separated with characters. The choice of characters and their usage varies by the scheme. The following list shows hypothetical examples of separation schemes for the same release the thirteenth third-level revision to the fourth second-level revision to the second first-level revision : [ original research?

When a period is used to separate sequences, it may or may not represent a decimal point—see ” Incrementing sequences ” section for various interpretation styles.

There is sometimes a fourth, unpublished number which denotes the software build as used by Microsoft. Adobe Flash is a notable case where a four-part version number is indicated publicly, as in Some companies also include the build date. Version numbers may also include letters and other characters, such as Lotus Release 1a. Some projects use negative version numbers.

Many projects use a date-based versioning scheme called Calendar Versioning aka CalVer [18]. Ubuntu Linux is one example of a project using calendar versioning; Ubuntu This has the advantage of being easily relatable to development schedules and support timelines. Some video games also use date as versioning, for example the arcade game Street Fighter EX.

At startup it displays the version number as a date plus a region code, for example ASIA. The hyphens are sometimes omitted. The Wine project formerly used a date versioning scheme, which used the year followed by the month followed by the day of the release; for example, “Wine “. Microsoft Office build numbers are an encoded date: [20] the first two digits indicate the number of months that have passed from the January of the year in which the project started with each major Office release being a different project , while the last two digits indicate the day of that month.

So is the 19th day of the 34th month after the month of January of the year the project started. Other examples that identify versions by year include Adobe Illustrator 88 and WordPerfect Office When a year is used to denote version, it is generally for marketing purposes, and an actual version number also exists.

The Python Software Foundation has published PEP — Version Identification and Dependency Specification, [21] outlining their own flexible scheme, that defines an epoch segment, a release segment, pre-release and post-release segments and a development release segment. TeX has an idiosyncratic version numbering system. The current version is 3.

This is a reflection of TeX being very stable, and only minor updates are anticipated. In a similar way, the version number of Metafont asymptotically approaches e. During the era of the classic Mac OS , minor version numbers rarely went beyond “. When they did, they usually jumped straight to “. Mac OS X departed from this trend, in large part because “X” the Roman numeral for 10 was in the name of the product.

As a result, all versions of OS X began with the number The first major release of OS X was given the version number Instead, it was numbered Thus the 11th major version of OS X was labeled ” Even though the “X” was dropped from the name as of macOS Under the “X”-based versioning scheme, the third number instead of the second denoted a minor release, and additional updates below this level, as well as updates to a given major version of OS X coming after the release of a new major version, were titled Supplemental Updates.

The Roman numeral X was concurrently leveraged for marketing purposes across multiple product lines. Like Mac OS X itself, the products were not upgrades to previous versions, but brand-new programs. As with OS X, major releases for these programs incremented the second digit and minor releases were denoted using a third digit.

Apple’s next macOS release, provisionally numbered The Microsoft Windows operating system was first labelled with standard version numbers for Windows 1. After this Microsoft excluded the version number from the product name. For Windows 95 version 4. After Windows , Microsoft created the Windows Server family which continued the year-based style with a difference: For minor releases, Microsoft suffixed “R2” to the title, e.

This style had remained consistent to this date. The client versions of Windows however did not adopt a consistent style. First, they received names with arbitrary alphanumeric suffixes as with Windows ME 4. Then, once again Microsoft adopted incremental numbers in the title, but this time, they were not versioning numbers; the version numbers of Windows 7 , Windows 8 and Windows 8.

In Windows 10 , the version number leaped to The successor of Windows 10, Windows 11 , was released on October 5, Despite being named “11”, the new Windows release didn’t bump its major version number to Instead, it stayed at the same version number of Some software producers use different schemes to denote releases of their software. BLAG Linux and GNU features very large version numbers: major releases have numbers such as and , while minor releases increase the number by 1 e.

Alpha and beta releases are given decimal version numbers slightly less than the major release number, such as Starting at in , the most recent version as of [update] is Urbit uses Kelvin versioning named after the absolute Kelvin temperature scale : software versions start at a high number and count down to version 0, at which point the software is considered finished and no further modifications are made. Software may have an “internal” version number which differs from the version number shown in the product name and which typically follows version numbering rules more consistently.

Java SE 5. Note, however, that Windows NT is only on its fifth major revision, as its first release was numbered 3. In conjunction with the various versioning schemes listed above, a system for denoting pre-release versions is generally used, as the program makes its way through the stages of the software release life cycle. Programs that are in an early stage are often called “alpha” software, after the first letter in the Greek alphabet. After they mature but are not yet ready for release, they may be called “beta” software, after the second letter in the Greek alphabet.

Generally alpha software is tested by developers only, while beta software is distributed for community testing. Some systems use numerical versions less than 1 such as 0. This is a common convention in open source software. So the alpha version of the 2. An alternative is to refer to pre-release versions as “release candidates”, so that software packages which are soon to be released as a particular version may carry that version tag followed by “rc- “, indicating the number of the release candidate; when the final version is released, the “rc” tag is removed.

A software release train is a form of software release schedule in which a number of distinct series of versioned software releases for multiple products are released as a number of different “trains” on a regular schedule. Generally, for each product line, a number of different release trains are running at a given time, with each train moving from initial release to eventual maturity and retirement on a planned schedule.

Users may experiment with a newer release train before adopting it for production, allowing them to experiment with newer, “raw”, releases early, while continuing to follow the previous train’s point releases for their production systems prior to moving to the new release train as it becomes mature. Cisco’s IOS software platform used a release train schedule with many distinct trains for many years.

More recently, a number of other platforms including Firefox and Fenix for Android, [37] Eclipse , [38] LibreOffice , [39] Ubuntu , [40] Fedora, [41] Python, [42] digiKam [43] and VMware [44] have adopted the release train model. Between the 1. For example, Linux 2. After the minor version number in the Linux kernel is the release number, in ascending order; for example, Linux 2. In addition, Microsoft launched a separate lawsuit against Forgent in April This makes any appeal to reinstate the patent highly unlikely to succeed.

Forgent also possesses a similar patent granted by the European Patent Office in , though it is unclear how enforceable it is. As of October 27, , the U. The JPEG committee has as one of its explicit goals that their standards in particular their baseline methods be implementable without payment of license fees, and they have secured appropriate license rights for their JPEG standard from over 20 large organizations.

Patent 5,, issued in , is infringed by the downloading of JPEG images on either a website or through e-mail. If not invalidated, this patent could apply to any website that displays JPEG images. The patent was under reexamination by the U. Patent and Trademark Office from to ; in July , the Patent Office revoked all of the original claims of the patent but found that an additional claim proposed by Global Patent Holdings claim 17 was valid.

A fifth lawsuit was filed against Global Patent Holdings in Nevada. That lawsuit was filed by Zappos. Global Patent Holdings had also used the ‘ patent to sue or threaten outspoken critics of broad software patents, including Gregory Aharonian [33] and the anonymous operator of a website blog known as the ” Patent Troll Tracker. Patent and Trademark Office to reexamine the sole remaining claim of the ‘ patent on the basis of new prior art.

On March 5, , the U. Patent and Trademark Office agreed to reexamine the ‘ patent, finding that the new prior art raised substantial new questions regarding the patent’s validity.

Patent and Trademark Office’s review of the ‘ patent. On April 23, , a judge presiding over the two lawsuits in Chicago, Illinois granted the motions in those cases. Beginning in and continuing as of early , an entity known as Princeton Digital Image Corporation, [39] based in Eastern Texas, began suing large numbers of companies for alleged infringement of U.

Patent 4,, Princeton claims that the JPEG image compression standard infringes the ‘ patent and has sued large numbers of websites, retailers, camera and device manufacturers and resellers. The patent was originally owned and assigned to General Electric. The patent expired in December , but Princeton has sued large numbers of companies for “past infringement” of this patent. Under U. As of March , Princeton had suits pending in New York and Delaware against more than 55 companies.

General Electric’s involvement in the suit is unknown, although court records indicate that it assigned the patent to Princeton in and retains certain rights in the patent. The JPEG compression algorithm operates at its best on photographs and paintings of realistic scenes with smooth variations of tone and color. For web usage, where reducing the amount of data used for an image is important for responsive presentation, JPEG’s compression benefits make JPEG popular.

However, JPEG is not well suited for line drawings and other textual or iconic graphics, where the sharp contrasts between adjacent pixels can cause noticeable artifacts. The JPEG standard includes a lossless coding mode, but that mode is not supported in most products. As the typical use of JPEG is a lossy compression method, which reduces the image fidelity, it is inappropriate for exact reproduction of imaging data such as some scientific and medical imaging applications and certain technical image processing work.

JPEG is also not well suited to files that will undergo multiple edits, as some image quality is lost each time the image is recompressed, particularly if the image is cropped or shifted, or if encoding parameters are changed — see digital generation loss for details. To prevent image information loss during sequential and repetitive editing, the first edit can be saved in a lossless format, subsequently edited in that format, then finally published as JPEG for distribution.

A perceptual model based loosely on the human psychovisual system discards high-frequency information, i. In the transform domain, the process of reducing information is called quantization. In simpler terms, quantization is a method for optimally reducing a large number scale with different occurrences of each number into a smaller one, and the transform-domain is a convenient representation of the image because the high-frequency coefficients, which contribute less to the overall picture than other coefficients, are characteristically small-values with high compressibility.

The quantized coefficients are then sequenced and losslessly packed into the output bitstream. Nearly all software implementations of JPEG permit user control over the compression ratio as well as other optional parameters , allowing the user to trade off picture-quality for smaller file size.

In embedded applications such as miniDV, which uses a similar DCT-compression scheme , the parameters are pre-selected and fixed for the application.

The compression method is usually lossy , meaning that some original image information is lost and cannot be restored, possibly affecting image quality. There is an optional lossless mode defined in the JPEG standard. However, this mode is not widely supported in products.

There is also an interlaced progressive JPEG format, in which data is compressed in multiple passes of progressively higher detail. This is ideal for large images that will be displayed while downloading over a slow connection, allowing a reasonable preview after receiving only a portion of the data. However, support for progressive JPEGs is not universal. When progressive JPEGs are received by programs that do not support them such as versions of Internet Explorer before Windows 7 [41] the software displays the image only after it has been completely downloaded.

There are also many medical imaging, traffic and camera applications that create and process bit JPEG images both grayscale and color. The libjpeg codec supports bit JPEG and there even exists a high-performance version. Several alterations to a JPEG image can be performed losslessly that is, without recompression and the associated quality loss as long as the image size is a multiple of 1 MCU block Minimum Coded Unit usually 16 pixels in both directions, for chroma subsampling.

Utilities that implement this include:. Blocks can be rotated in degree increments, flipped in the horizontal, vertical and diagonal axes and moved about in the image. Not all blocks from the original image need to be used in the modified one.

This limits the possible lossless crop operations, and also prevents flips and rotations of an image whose bottom or right edge does not lie on a block boundary for all channels because the edge would end up on top or left, where — as aforementioned — a block boundary is obligatory.

Rotations where the image is not a multiple of 8 or 16, which value depends upon the chroma subsampling, are not lossless. Rotating such an image causes the blocks to be recomputed which results in loss of quality. When using lossless cropping, if the bottom or right side of the crop region is not on a block boundary, then the rest of the data from the partially used blocks will still be present in the cropped file and can be recovered.

It is also possible to transform between baseline and progressive formats without any loss of quality, since the only difference is the order in which the coefficients are placed in the file. Furthermore, several JPEG images can be losslessly joined, as long as they were saved with the same quality and the edges coincide with block boundaries.

However, this “pure” file format is rarely used, primarily because of the difficulty of programming encoders and decoders that fully implement all aspects of the standard and because of certain shortcomings of the standard:.

Several additional standards have evolved to address these issues. Within these segments of the file that were left for future use in the JIF standard and are not read by it, these standards add specific metadata.

Thus, in some ways, JFIF is a cut-down version of the JIF standard in that it specifies certain constraints such as not allowing all the different encoding modes , while in other ways, it is an extension of JIF due to the added metadata.

The documentation for the original JFIF standard states: [44]. Nor should it, for the only purpose of this simplified format is to allow the exchange of JPEG compressed images. Most image capture devices such as digital cameras that output JPEG are actually creating files in the Exif format, the format that the camera industry has standardized on for metadata interchange.

This allows older readers to correctly handle the older format JFIF segment, while newer readers also decode the following Exif segment, being less strict about requiring it to appear first. The most common filename extensions for files employing JPEG compression are. Because these color spaces use a non-linear transformation, the dynamic range of an 8-bit JPEG file is about 11 stops ; see gamma curve. If the image doesn’t specify color profile information untagged , the color space is assumed to be sRGB for the purposes of display on webpages.

A JPEG image consists of a sequence of segments , each beginning with a marker , each of which begins with a 0xFF byte, followed by a byte indicating what kind of marker it is. Some markers consist of just those two bytes; others are followed by two bytes high then low , indicating the length of marker-specific payload data that follows. The length includes the two bytes for the length, but not the two bytes for the marker. Some markers are followed by entropy-coded data; the length of such a marker does not include the entropy-coded data.

Note that consecutive 0xFF bytes are used as fill bytes for padding purposes, although this fill byte padding should only ever take place for markers immediately following entropy-coded scan data see JPEG specification section B. Within the entropy-coded data, after any 0xFF byte, a 0x00 byte is inserted by the encoder before the next byte, so that there does not appear to be a marker where none is intended, preventing framing errors.

Decoders must skip this 0x00 byte. Note however that entropy-coded data has a few markers of its own; specifically the Reset markers 0xD0 through 0xD7 , which are used to isolate independent chunks of entropy-coded data to allow parallel decoding, and encoders are free to insert these Reset markers at regular intervals although not all encoders do this. Since several vendors might use the same APP n marker type, application-specific markers often begin with a standard or vendor name e.

At a restart marker, block-to-block predictor variables are reset, and the bitstream is synchronized to a byte boundary. Restart markers provide means for recovery after bitstream error, such as transmission over an unreliable network or file corruption. Since the runs of macroblocks between restart markers may be independently decoded, these runs may be decoded in parallel. The encoding process consists of several steps:. The decoding process reverses these steps, except the quantization because it is irreversible.

In the remainder of this section, the encoding and decoding processes are described in more detail. Many of the options in the JPEG standard are not commonly used, and as mentioned above, most image software uses the simpler JFIF format when creating a JPEG file, which among other things specifies the encoding method. Here is a brief description of one of the more common methods of encoding when applied to an input that has 24 bits per pixel eight each of red, green, and blue.

This particular option is a lossy data compression method. It has three components Y’, C B and C R : the Y’ component represents the brightness of a pixel, and the C B and C R components represent the chrominance split into blue and red components.

This is basically the same color space as used by digital color television as well as digital video including video DVDs. The compression is more efficient because the brightness information, which is more important to the eventual perceptual quality of the image, is confined to a single channel. This more closely corresponds to the perception of color in the human visual system.

The color transformation also improves compression by statistical decorrelation. However, some JPEG implementations in “highest quality” mode do not apply this step and instead keep the color information in the RGB color model , [50] where the image is stored in separate channels for red, green and blue brightness components.

This results in less efficient compression, and would not likely be used when file size is especially important. Due to the densities of color- and brightness-sensitive receptors in the human eye, humans can see considerably more fine detail in the brightness of an image the Y’ component than in the hue and color saturation of an image the Cb and Cr components. Using this knowledge, encoders can be designed to compress images more efficiently.

The ratios at which the downsampling is ordinarily done for JPEG images are no downsampling , reduction by a factor of 2 in the horizontal direction , or most commonly reduction by a factor of 2 in both the horizontal and vertical directions.

For the rest of the compression process, Y’, Cb and Cr are processed separately and in a very similar manner. In video compression MCUs are called macroblocks. If the data for a channel does not represent an integer number of blocks then the encoder must fill the remaining area of the incomplete blocks with some form of dummy data. Filling the edges with a fixed color for example, black can create ringing artifacts along the visible part of the border; repeating the edge pixels is a common technique that reduces but does not necessarily eliminate such artifacts, and more sophisticated border filling techniques can also be applied.

This step reduces the dynamic range requirements in the DCT processing stage that follows. If we perform this transformation on our matrix above, we get the following rounded to the nearest two digits beyond the decimal point :.

Note the top-left corner entry with the rather large magnitude. This is the DC coefficient also called the constant component , which defines the basic hue for the entire block. The remaining 63 coefficients are the AC coefficients also called the alternating components. The quantization step to follow accentuates this effect while simultaneously reducing the overall size of the DCT coefficients, resulting in a signal that is easy to compress efficiently in the entropy stage.

This may force the codec to temporarily use bit numbers to hold these coefficients, doubling the size of the image representation at this point; these values are typically reduced back to 8-bit values by the quantization step.

The temporary increase in size at this stage is not a performance concern for most JPEG implementations, since typically only a very small part of the image is stored in full DCT form at any given time during the image encoding or decoding process.

The human eye is good at seeing small differences in brightness over a relatively large area, but not so good at distinguishing the exact strength of a high frequency brightness variation. This allows one to greatly reduce the amount of information in the high frequency components. This is done by simply dividing each component in the frequency domain by a constant for that component, and then rounding to the nearest integer.

This rounding operation is the only lossy operation in the whole process other than chroma subsampling if the DCT computation is performed with sufficiently high precision.

As a result of this, it is typically the case that many of the higher frequency components are rounded to zero, and many of the rest become small positive or negative numbers, which take many fewer bits to represent. The elements in the quantization matrix control the compression ratio, with larger values producing greater compression.

Notice that most of the higher-frequency elements of the sub-block i. Entropy coding is a special form of lossless data compression. It involves arranging the image components in a ” zigzag ” order employing run-length encoding RLE algorithm that groups similar frequencies together, inserting length coding zeros, and then using Huffman coding on what is left.

The JPEG standard also allows, but does not require, decoders to support the use of arithmetic coding , which is mathematically superior to Huffman coding. However, this feature has rarely been used, as it was historically covered by patents requiring royalty-bearing licenses, and because it is slower to encode and decode compared to Huffman coding.

The previous quantized DC coefficient is used to predict the current quantized DC coefficient. The difference between the two is encoded rather than the actual value. The encoding of the 63 quantized AC coefficients does not use such prediction differencing. The zigzag sequence for the above quantized coefficients are shown below.

This encoding mode is called baseline sequential encoding. Baseline JPEG also supports progressive encoding. While sequential encoding encodes coefficients of a single block at a time in a zigzag manner , progressive encoding encodes similar-positioned batch of coefficients of all blocks in one go called a scan , followed by the next batch of coefficients of all blocks, and so on.

Once all similar-positioned coefficients have been encoded, the next position to be encoded is the one occurring next in the zigzag traversal as indicated in the figure above. It has been found that baseline progressive JPEG encoding usually gives better compression as compared to baseline sequential JPEG due to the ability to use different Huffman tables see below tailored for different frequencies on each “scan” or “pass” which includes similar-positioned coefficients , though the difference is not too large.

In the rest of the article, it is assumed that the coefficient pattern generated is due to sequential mode. The JPEG standard provides general-purpose Huffman tables; encoders may also choose to generate Huffman tables optimized for the actual frequency distributions in images being encoded. The process of encoding the zig-zag quantized data begins with a run-length encoding explained below, where:.

The run-length encoding works by examining each non-zero AC coefficient x and determining how many zeroes came before the previous AC coefficient. With this information, two symbols are created:.

The higher bits deal with the number of zeroes, while the lower bits denote the number of bits necessary to encode the value of x. This has the immediate implication of Symbol 1 being only able store information regarding the first 15 zeroes preceding the non-zero AC coefficient. One is for ending the sequence prematurely when the remaining coefficients are zero called “End-of-Block” or “EOB” , and another when the run of zeroes goes beyond 15 before reaching a non-zero AC coefficient.

In such a case where 16 zeroes are encountered before a given non-zero AC coefficient, Symbol 1 is encoded “specially” as: 15, 0 0. The overall process continues until “EOB” — denoted by 0, 0 — is reached. See above. From here, frequency calculations are made based on occurrences of the coefficients. In our example block, most of the quantized coefficients are small numbers that are not preceded immediately by a zero coefficient.

These more-frequent cases will be represented by shorter code words. The resulting compression ratio can be varied according to need by being more or less aggressive in the divisors used in the quantization phase. Ten to one compression usually results in an image that cannot be distinguished by eye from the original.

A compression ratio of is usually possible, but will look distinctly artifacted compared to the original. The appropriate level of compression depends on the use to which the image will be put.

Those who use the World Wide Web may be familiar with the irregularities known as compression artifacts that appear in JPEG images, which may take the form of noise around contrasting edges especially curves and corners , or “blocky” images.

These are due to the quantization step of the JPEG algorithm. They are especially noticeable around sharp corners between contrasting colors text is a good example, as it contains many such corners. The analogous artifacts in MPEG video are referred to as mosquito noise , as the resulting “edge busyness” and spurious dots, which change over time, resemble mosquitoes swarming around the object.

These artifacts can be reduced by choosing a lower level of compression ; they may be completely avoided by saving an image using a lossless file format, though this will result in a larger file size.
