SourceForge's release archive shows libwpg 0.1.0 published on 2007-08-06, followed by the 0.2 series beginning in 2010 and the 0.3 series beginning in 2014. The code repository and project site show the split personality that made libwpg useful: a core library for applications, command-line converters such as wpg2svg and wpg2raw, and viewer/converter work around Perfectspot. ### Adoption history libwpg was adopted where WPG files needed to cross into open formats. The project site lists Inkscape support since version 0.45, AbiWord, OpenOffice.org integration work, and Karbon14/KOffice work, while the Document Liberation Project later grouped this style of import library with other efforts around LibreOffice and open document conversion. ### How it is used Most users get libwpg indirectly through an application that imports WPG graphics. Packagers expose the converter tools so users can script WPG-to-SVG or diagnostic raw output without opening a full office suite. ### Why package nerds care libwpg matters because it covers a format that is obscure until archival or migration work makes it urgent. Its package is the small bridge between legacy WordPerfect/Corel graphics and modern SVG or OpenDocument workflows. ### Timeline - 2007-08-06: libwpg 0.1.0 published on SourceForge. - 2010-11-16: libwpg 0.2.0 published on SourceForge. -
