I've been at a conference last week and talked quite a bit there with Robert O'Callahan (Mozilla NZ). And he's told me that they have now ditched LCMS from Mozilla due to the fact of the (in-) security patch. They rather went the approach of re-implementing the parts of colour management that they depend on. For them that has got some further benefits: * Leaner code base and less dependencies on 3rd party libraries. * Potential to implement additional acceleration for rendering (e. g. using the GPU to perform transformations). Too bad, after all it's quite a prominent project that's dropped it's use of LCMS. Guy -- Guy K.
