GNOME’s Glycin project as the Rust-based sandboxed and extendable image loading library now supports XPM and XBM images. This is notable since those formats were the last unsandboxed image loading formats used on Fedora Linux.

Released yesterday was Glycin 2.1 Alpha that brings a number of component updates and adds XPM and XBM support to the image-rs code. X PixMap (XPM) was for icon pixmaps under the X Window System and X BitMap (XBM) for cursor and icon bitmaps with X GUIs as the successor to XPM.
