Yes, that is. > And especially if that meant that > it is now safe to share cmsHTRANSFORM between threads ? Yep. The details are: cache in 1.16 is now limited to each invocation of cmsDoTransform and stored in the stack. This eliminates 99,9% of chance of conflicts. For the remaining 0,1% you may turn on the pthread support by editing lcms.h, but in my testing it worked fine without that. Also, this applies only to transform logic. Functions that retrieve textual information (cmsTakeProductName and alike) are not thread safe, but I wonder why anybody would like to do so. Keep up your good work on Krita.
