fastiv
======

'fastiv' is a fast image viewer, supporting BMP, PNG, GIF, JPEG, and optionally
RAW, SVG and X11 cursors, or whatever gdk-pixbuf loads.

It still has some road to go, but it's already become quite usable,
and it has received basic polishing.

Non-goals
---------
 - fancy UI--the focus is on speed of use first, colour accuracy second
 - editing--that's what _editors_ are for, be it GIMP or Rawtherapee;
   nothing beyond the most basic of adjustments is desired
 - 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, glib>=2.64, pixman-1, shared-mime-info,
spng>=0.7.0, libturbojpeg, LibRaw (optional), librsvg-2.0 (optional),
