Hi, I've never heard 1.7 called unstable. It's been out for nearly 2 years > without the need for an update. >
Yes, I wasn't implying that 1.7 is unstable. I was just saying that 1.6.1 is the latest stable release "by definition", as stated here: http://www.openexr.com/downloads.html Other than that, I don't claim to know the design reasons for staying on a particular version. My point was that there are compatibility concerns that could play a role in that decision, specially considering that most vendors (afaik), have not moved to 1.7 either. With regards to 4:2:0 support, you should definitely get in touch with support. What I meant was that this is most likely not due to outdated exr libraries, but to an oversight (or intentional decision to leave it out) in the exrReader code. Hope that clarifies my previous answer a bit. :) Cheers, Ivan On Tue, Mar 13, 2012 at 2:58 PM, fnordware < [email protected]> wrote: > ** > *ivanbusquets wrote:* > 1.6.1 is the latest stable release, and there are other reasons not to > move to 1.7, like the fact that exr files with long channel names are not > backwards compatible. > > > I've never heard 1.7 called unstable.
