Yes, and they incorporated our compiler-warning patches too now:
https://github.com/mircomir/jxrlib/pull/16

But our little test.sh is failing now -- a simple BMP->JXR->BMP conversion
produces a file, that's different from the original. This is something,
mircomir's repository inherited from the 4creaters:
https://github.com/4creators/jxrlib/issues/11

I'm happy, that the code's got an active maintainer -- and appreciate adridg@'s
raising my awareness -- but there is a lot of work for these maintainers to do.
Some of the code even still has Microsoft's EOLs in it! It has no obvious
self-testing, no CI/CD, and does not even accept bug-reports (only
merge-requests)...

The sole security problem I found solved is a potential DOS-attack (and the fix
seems somewhat crude, to be honest). Nothing to ignore, but shouldn't be a
show-stopper either.

Once I figure out, how to perform even a simple test properly, I'll update the
port. But, as I said earlier, this should not be a blocker for incorporating
the library into anything...
