#784 closed enhancement (wontfix)
BPG compression support

Description (last modified by )
BPG is based on HEVC.
Unlike other options, in particular #616 - this library is clean and simple to use.
It supports transparency, a lossless mode, etc..
Potentially a good alternative for webp / png in lossless mode, and maybe even displacing jpeg at high quality (probably lower speed).

No packaging for any of the major distros makes it difficult to build against, delaying.

Raising: this is better than PNG, and we end up using PNG a lot.

The encoder code is just not very friendly and has to duplicate lots of tricky functions (ie: "build_modified_hevc", etc).
