[Openexr-user] OpenEXR 2.0 Advantage

[Christopher]

Hi, what are the advantages of OpenEXR 2.0, anyone presently using it ?

[Peter Hillman]

The announcement on http://www.openexr.com/#announ from April 9th 2013
lists the advantages.

Judging by activity on the openexr-devel list, it seems many packages
are compiling against the OpenEXR-2.0 libraries, and upcoming linux
distributions (e.g. OpenSUSE-13.1) will ship with it.

OpenEXR-2 images have been widely used for deep compositing for some
time now. We'll see more widespread use of the multipart features as
more tools support them

Regards,
Peter

It's unfortunate that some software is so slow to package it. It's a
grantee that Nuke has 2.0 support.

Hello,

speaking from personal experience I have tried packaging OpenEXR 2.0
and failed. Non-ancient releases (>1.0.) only pass the testsuite on
amd64 and therefore require package maintainers to be competent coders
as they need to do porting.
