stb/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md

Pull Requests and Issues are both welcome.

Responsiveness

General priority order is:

• Crashes
• Security issues in stb_image
• Bugs
• Security concerns in other libs
• Warnings
• Enhancements (new features, performance improvement, etc)

Pull requests get priority over Issues. Some pull requests I take as written; some I modify myself; some I will request changes before accepting them. Because I've ended up supporting a lot of libraries (20 as I write this, with more on the way), I am somewhat slow to address things. Many issues have been around for a long time.

Pull requests

• Make sure you're using a special branch just for this pull request. (Sometimes people unknowingly use a default branch, then later update that branch, which updates the pull request with the other changes if it hasn't been merged yet.)
• Do NOT update the version number in the file. (This just causes conflicts.)
• Do add your name to the list of contributors. (Don't worry about the formatting.) I'll try to remember to add it if you don't, but I sometimes forget as it's an extra step.
• Your change needs to compile as both C and C++. Pre-C99 compilers should be supported (e.g. declare at start of block)

Specific libraries

I generally do not want new file formats for stb_image because we are trying to improve its security, so increasing its attack surface is counter-productive.
