Thank you Damjan for cutting another release!

In the future, please summarize changes from RC to RC in the VOTE email.
The link to the VOTE thread is too much of a hunt to understand what's
changed. I might as well look at SVN.

I admire Damjan's persistence and patience in seeing through another RC
toward 1.0 :)

[X] -0 OK, but really should fix...

- The RAT report shows "40 Unknown Licenses", either add license headers or
get RAT to ignore these files.

- On the "References" page, all the links to Geocities are broken. Either
remove the broken links or link to the internet archive wayback machine or
similar.

- Is the to-do list on the site 100% accurate?
https://people.apache.org/~damjan/imaging-1.0-RC5/todo.html

- I would also change the title of the page from "To Do" to "Roadmap" and
talk about the upcoming 2.0 plan how 1.0 relates to 0.97 (new package).

- We need a "Migrating from 0.97 to 1.0" and "Plans for 2.0" sections, IMO.

- For the page "Project Status and History", I would just call it
"History". This page is missing versions.

- Javadoc: Most packages are missing a package-level description.

- Findbugs reports
org.apache.commons.imaging.icc.IccProfileParser.issRGB(ICC_Profile) has
Boolean return type and returns explicit null BAD_PRACTICE (and others like
it).
For methods like
org.apache.commons.imaging.icc.IccProfileParser.issRGB(ICC_Profile), it
seems to complicate the code a lot more to return a Boolean instead of a
boolean.
We should consider changing these APIs to boolean. I've only looks at
IccProfileParser.issRGB
and this one case seems OK for change.

- Checkstyle: We have a lot of 'Useless parentheses', the few I've checked
seem like they should be removed. This is a lot of work to check one at a
time and I do not think we should remove them all automatically (like
Eclipse can do) unless the person most familiar with the code chooses to do
so.

- I'm not a fan of using interfaces (instead of classes) to define
constants, but if this in fact the style we're going forward with, we
should not redundantly define each constant as public, a fact that is
implied by being an interface member (and which Checkstyle complains about.)

- Findbugs: WRT byte arrays and "malicious code", it seems safe to ignore
these since we are working with bytes all the time. I'm not sure if it is
worth Javadoc'ing this intention or adding some kinds of comment in the
source Findbugs can use to avoid these warnings. It's probably NOT worth
doing, but I thought I'd mention it.
