I would appreciate if the new jpeg xl (.jxl) image file format would be included in addition to the webp file format in J4 stable. Major browsers will soon support it, too.
See: https://jpegxl.info/
If I'm not mistaken, it would not require a code change, so '.jxl' could still be included into the J4 stable release.
although no one will be able to see the images yet
This is fixable, using a wasm decoder, eg from squoosh:
https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/squoosh/blob/dev/codecs/jxl/dec/jxl_dec.wasm
But I agree it's way too early
@Gitjk Would it be ok for you if we move this from issues to discussions? It's not really an issue as long as browsers don't support it, and you can already use that image format as described by @brianteeman above.

No problem. My 'feature request' was just meant as a suggestion. Perhaps somebody with commit rights can add it on his ToDo list. :-)
I can display .jxl images already in the latest J4 RC with my copy of Firefox 92 nightly build.

Its a bit too early for me https://caniuse.com/?search=jpeg%20xl
Nothing stops anyone adding it to the list of supported formats on their own site although no one will be able to see the images yet
