    JPEG XL image format reference implementation

    The versions of other stuff (on the verification process page linked waaaay at the bottom) look up-to-date, but there's still some suspicious fiddling in how they ran time to measure the total time taken by the avif{dec,enc} and {d,c}jxl binaries one transcode at a time; quite plausible that one of the two has a different startup/initialization cost for the binary that would normally only be paid once when starting up the app that does transcoding. When the majority of transcodes are around the 0.02 seconds mark and according to their "running" section they transcode each image around 2500 times, even a minor difference will skew the results horribly, while such a thing poses no actual impact to the performance of legitimate applications. The JPEG XL team's benchmark_xl tool uses the libraries directly and looking at the source it has full support for AVIF, so it feels kind of weird it wasn't used.
