GNOME’s Rust-based and sandboxed Glycin image loading library focused on safety now supports JPEG 2000 images by default.

Glycin 2.1 beta released this week and there is now JPEG 2000 image format support by default. This comes thanks to a new JPEG 2000 implementation written in Rust. This should be helpful particularly for PDF files where JPEG 2000 images are sometimes found.
