## Notes

### [tyhicks](https://launchpad.net/~tyhicks)

There are large changes between openjpeg trunk and the 1.5 and 1.3
branches that we shipped in Vivid and older. However, it looks like those
code bases are also affected because I don't see similar sanity checks. As of
2015-07-24, I don't see a fix in the 1.5 branch.
