All,
      <br>
      <br>
Tuesday, April 9th, 2013<br>
      <br>
OpenEXR v2.0.0 has been released and is available for download.&nbsp; <br>
      <p>The release includes a number of new features that align with
the major version number increase. Amongst the major improvements are:</p>
      <ol>
        <li><strong>Deep Data support</strong> - Pixels can now store a
variable-length list of samples. The main rationale behind deep images
is to enable the storage of multiple values at different depths for
each pixel. OpenEXR 2.0 supports both hard-surface and volumetric
representations for Deep Compositing workflows.</li>
        <li><strong>Multi-part Image Files</strong> - With OpenEXR 2.0,
files can now contain a number of separate, but related, data parts in
one file. Access to any part is independent of the others, pixels from
parts that are not required in the current operation don't need to be
accessed, resulting in quicker read times when accessing only a subset
of channels. The multipart interface also incorporates support for
Stereo images where views are stored in separate parts. This makes
stereo OpenEXR 2.0 files significantly faster to work with than the
previous multiview support in OpenEXR.</li>
        <li><strong>Optimized pixel reading</strong> - decoding RGB(A)
scanline images has been accelerated on SSE processors providing a
significant speedup when reading both old and new format images,
including multipart and multiview files.</li>
        <li><strong>Namespacing </strong><font
 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">- The library introduces
versioned namespaces to avoid conflicts between packages compiled with
different versions of the library.</font></li>
      </ol>
      <br>

I think this situation absolutely requires that a really futile and
stupid gesture be done on somebody's part. And we're just the guys to
do it.
