WARPJPEG V45.16 + WARPPNG V45.24 RELEASED

New versions of WarpJPEG and WarpPNG are now available for download
from http://www.warpdt.co.uk/ and also via AmiUpdate or Aminet. These
have been tuned to take advantage of a new feature in AmigaOS 3.2
(also coming to OS4 soon), unlocking extra performance. There are
also some speed boosts for OS4 and MorphOS. The full list of changes
follows:

WarpJPEG:

 - Further optimized data cache utilisation on OS4 and MorphOS to
   allow up to 5% faster decoding performance (10% with AltiVec).
 - When the OS3.2 V47 picture.datatype is in use, decoding speed will
   now be 5-10% faster for both 68k and WarpOS.
 - Benchmarks now performed using PicDTBench.

WarpPNG:

 - When the OS3.2 V47 picture.datatype is in use, decoding speed will
   now be 5-10% faster for both 68k and WarpOS.
 - When the OS4 V54 picture.datatype is in use, decoding speed will
   now be 5-10% faster and up to 25% faster for interlaced images.
 - Significantly reduced memory usage when decoding interlaced
   images, if using the OS3.2 V47 or OS4 V54 picture.datatype.
 - Benchmarks now performed using PicDTBench.
