This is a comparison of the contribution experience to the Rust standard library in 2017 and 2023. I have the possibly unique perspective of having contributed to the Rust standard library twice separated by many years.

This is the second part of a series on how the png crate was able to acheive performance on-par or better than QOI, while remaining fully compatible with the PNG standard.

This post will cover the optimizations used by the PNG encoder to achieve QOI-class performance. The PNG format is more complex than QOI, but it is still possible to achieve competitive performance by leveraging SIMD instructions and other optimizations.

The purpose of lossless image compression is to reduce the size of an image while retaining the full pixel information. Modern formats generally use the same couple conceptual steps...
