+JPEG XL image coding system is particularly optimised for
+responsive web environments so that content renders well on
+a wide range of devices.Existing JPEG files can be losslessly
+transcoded to JPEG XL and can also restored to exact same JPEG
+file ensuring backward compatibility.
+
+JPEG XL is designed to meet the needs of image delivery on the
+web and professional photography. It supports wide colour gamut
+as well as high dynamic range and high bit depth images. JPEG XL
+further includes features such as animation, alpha channels, layers,
+thumbnails, lossless and progressive coding to support a wide range
+of use cases including but not limited to photo galleries, e-commerce,
+social media, user interfaces and cloud storage. To enable novel
+applications, it also adds support for 360 degree images,
+image bursts, large panoramas/mosaics, and printing.
+
+Optional dependencies:
+
+Sphinx and sphinx-rtd-theme is needed for building the html
+documentation.
+
+qt6 is needed if you want comparison tool,flicker test tool
+and directory viewer.
