• Fixes encoding and decoding on big endian systems
• Drops support for Python 3.8 and adds it for 3.13
• Require NumPy >= v2.0
• Use OpenJpeg v2.5.2

• Python3.8: uses NumPy < 2.0
• Python 3.9-3.12: uses NumPy >= 2.0

• Don't use MCT with RGB in encode_pixel_data()
• Remove bytearray as image data source in encode_pixel_data() and encode_buffer()

• Adds support for encoding bytes or bytearray
• Fixes encoding using the JP2 format
• Changes nr_components parameters to samples_per_pixel to be more in line with DICOM
• Encoding with compression_ratios=[1] or signal_noise_ratios=[0] should now result in lossless encoding

• Fixes MacOS arm64 wheel builds

• Adds support for encoding a NumPy ndarray using JPEG 2000 lossy or lossless
• Adds support for decoding JPEG 2000 images with up to 24 bit-depth

• Changed to v2.5.0 of OpenJPEG
