Description

A placeholder ticket, to link other issues and organize tasks related to the 1.0 release of Commons Imaging.

The 1.0 release of Commons Imaging has been postponed several times. Now we have a more clear idea of what's necessary for the 1.0 (see issues with fixVersion 1.0 and 1.0-alpha3, and other open issues), and the tasks are interesting as it involves both basic and advanced programming for tasks such as organize how test images are loaded, or work on performance improvements at byte level and following image format specifications.

The tasks are not too hard to follow, as normally there are example images that need to work with Imaging, as well as other libraries in C, C++, Rust, PHP, etc., that process these images correctly. Our goal with this issue is to a) improve our docs, b) improve our tests, c) fix possible security issues, d) get the parsers in Commons Imaging ready for the 1.0 release.

Assigning the label for GSoC 2023, and full time. Although it would be possible to work on a smaller set of tasks for 1.0 as a part time too.
