history
Project history and usage
DjVuLibre is the open source implementation of DjVu, a document-image format and software platform aimed at fast distribution of scanned documents, digital documents, and high-resolution images.
Project history
DjVu was originally developed at AT&T Labs-Research and was sold to LizardTech in March 2000. LizardTech released the reference implementation under the GNU GPL in October 2000, after which DjVuLibre continued as an enhanced open source version maintained by original DjVu inventors.
Adoption history
The official DjVuLibre site describes DjVu as being used by hundreds of academic, commercial, governmental, and non-commercial sites, and lists distribution availability through Fedora, openSUSE, Debian, Ubuntu, Windows, and Mac OS packages.
How it is used
Package users get a broad command-line toolkit for creating, inspecting, assembling, extracting, decoding, and converting DjVu documents, plus the C++ DjVu reference library. The source README also notes that most users on macOS can install the Homebrew package directly.
Why package nerds care
DjVuLibre matters in package collections because it is both an archival-document utility suite and the reusable library behind many DjVu workflows. It is the package that turns a historically web-centric scanned-document format into normal Unix command-line plumbing.
