Use spng to load thumbnails
Speed matters here, and this makes us about 20 percent faster
at loading large directories.

Moreover, libpng's PNG_ALPHA_BROKEN is indeed broken.

Thumbnails have a fairly fixed format, so there are very few practical
corner cases that could have been missed.

fastiv
======
'fastiv' is a fast image viewer, supporting BMP, PNG, GIF, JPEG, and optionally
RAW and SVG pictures, or whatever gdk-pixbuf loads. Currently, it's very basic.
Non-goals
---------
- fancy UI--the focus is on speed of use first, colour accuracy second
- memory efficiency, though preloading can cause some pressure
- portability to non-UNIXy systems
Packages
--------
Regular releases are sporadic. git master should be stable enough. You can get
a package with the latest development version from Archlinux's AUR.
Building and Running
--------------------
Build dependencies: Meson, pkg-config +
Runtime dependencies: gtk+-3.0, pixman-1, shared-mime-info, spng>=0.7.0,
libturbojpeg, LibRaw (optional), librsvg-2.0 (optional),
gdk-pixbuf-2.0 (optional)
$ git clone --recursive https://git.janouch.name/p/fastiv.git
