It's not a new codec, it's a new encoder/decoder for JPEG.

I consider codec to mean a pair of encoder and decoder programs.

I don't consider it to necessarily mean a new data format.

One data format can be implemented by multiple codecs.

Semantics and nomenclature within our field is likely underdeveloped and the use of these terms varies.

This should have been in a H1 tag at the top of the page. Had to dig into a paragraph to find out Google wasn’t about to launch another image format supported in only a scattering of apps yet served as Image Search results.
