+Changes since the last public release (1.5.2):
+
+ Re-initialize the zlib compressor before compressing non-IDAT chunks.
+ Added API functions to set parameters for zlib compression of non-IDAT
+ chunks.
+ Updated scripts/symbols.def with new API functions.
+ Only compile the new zlib re-initializing code when text or iCCP is
+ supported, using PNG_WRITE_COMPRESSED_TEXT_SUPPORTED macro.
+ Improved the optimization of the zlib CMF byte (see libpng-1.2.6).
+ Optimize the zlib CMF byte in non-IDAT compressed chunks
+ Fixed gcc -ansi -pedantic compile. A strict ANSI system does not have
+ snprintf, and the "__STRICT_ANSI__" detects that condition more reliably
+ than __STDC__ (John Bowler).
+ Removed the PNG_PTR_NORETURN attribute because it too dangerous. It tells
+ the compiler that a user supplied callback (the error handler) does not
+ return, yet there is no guarantee in practice that the application code
+ will correctly implement the error handler because the compiler only
+ issues a warning if there is a mistake (John Bowler).
+ Removed the no-longer-used PNG_DEPSTRUCT macro.
+ Updated the zlib version to 1.2.5 in the VStudio project.
+ Fixed 64-bit builds where png_uint_32 is smaller than png_size_t in
+ pngwutil.c (John Bowler).
+ Fixed bug with stripping the filler or alpha channel when writing, that
+ was introduced in libpng-1.5.2 (bug report by Andrew Church).
+ Updated pngtest.png with the new zlib CMF optimization.
+ Cleaned up conditional compilation code and of background/gamma handling
+ Internal changes only except a new option to avoid compiling the
+ png_build_grayscale_palette API (which is not used at all internally.)
+ The main change is to move the transform tests (READ_TRANSFORMS,
+ WRITE_TRANSFORMS) up one level to the caller of the APIs. This avoids
+ calls to spurious functions if all transforms are disabled and slightly
+ simplifies those functions. Pngvalid modified to handle this.
+ A minor change is to stop the strip_16 and expand_16 interfaces from
+ disabling each other; this allows the future alpha premultiplication
+ code to use 16-bit intermediate values while still producing 8-bit output.
+ png_do_background and png_do_gamma have been simplified to take a single
+ pointer to the png_struct rather than pointers to every item required
+ from the png_struct. This makes no practical difference to the internal
+ code.
+ A serious bug in the pngvalid internal routine 'standard_display_init' has
+ been fixed - this failed to initialize the red channel and accidentally
+ initialized the alpha channel twice.
+ Changed png_struct jmp_buf member name from png_jmpbuf to tmp_jmpbuf to
+ avoid a clash with the png_jmpbuf macro on some platforms.
+ Added appropriate feature test macros to ensure libpng sees the correct API
+ _POSIX_SOURCE is defined in pngpriv.h, pngtest.c and pngvalid.c to ensure
+ that POSIX conformant systems disable non-POSIX APIs. _ISOC99_SOURCE is
+ defined in pngpriv.h to obtain the ISO C99 snprintf definition, when
+ available.
+ Removed png_snprintf and added formatted warning messages. This change adds
+ internal APIs to allow png_warning messages to have parameters without
+ requiring the host OS to implement snprintf. As a side effect the
+ dependency of the tIME-supporting RFC1132 code on stdio is removed and
+ PNG_NO_WARNINGS does actually work now.
+ Added PNG_WRITE_OPTIMIZE_CMF_SUPPORTED macro to make the zlib "CMF" byte
+ optimization configureable.
+ Internal functions were added to claim/release the z_stream and, hopefully,
+ make the code more robust. Also deflateEnd checking is added - previously
+ libpng would ignore an error at the end of the stream.
+ Removed the -D_ALL_SOURCE from definitions for AIX in CMakeLists.txt
+ Implemented premultiplied alpha support: png_set_alpha_mode API
+ Added expand_16 support to the high level interface.
+ Added named value and 'flag' gamma support to png_set_gamma. Made a minor
+ change from the previous (unreleased) ABI/API to hide the exact value used
+ for Macs - it's not a good idea to embed this in the ABI!
+ Moved macro definitions for PNG_HAVE_IHDR, PNG_HAVE_PLTE, and PNG_AFTER_IDAT
+ from pngpriv.h to png.h because they must be visible to applications
+ that call png_set_unknown_chunks().
+ Check for up->location !PNG_AFTER_IDAT when writing unknown chunks
+ before IDAT.
+ Improved "pngvalid --speed" to exclude more of pngvalid from the time.
+ Documented png_set_alpha_mode(), other changes in libpng.3/libpng-manual.txt
+ The cHRM chunk now sets the defaults for png_set_rgb_to_gray() (when negative
+ parameters are supplied by the caller), while in the absence of cHRM
+ sRGB/Rec 709 values are still used.
+ The bKGD chunk no longer overwrites the background value set by
+ png_set_background(), allowing the latter to be used before the file
+ header is read. It never performed any useful function to override
+ the default anyway.
+ Added memory overwrite and palette image checks to pngvalid.c
+ Previously palette image code was poorly checked. Since the transformation
+ code has a special palette path in most cases this was a severe weakness.
+ Minor cleanup and some extra checking in pngrutil.c and pngrtran.c. When
+ expanding an indexed image, always expand to RGBA if transparency is
+ present.
+ Reversed earlier 1.5.3 change of transformation order; move png_expand_16
+ back where it was. The change doesn't work because it requires 16-bit
+ gamma tables when the code only generates 8-bit ones. This fails
+ silently; the libpng code just doesn't do any gamma correction. Moving
+ the tests back leaves the old, inaccurate, 8-bit gamma calculations, but
+ these are clearly better than none!
+ png_set_background() and png_expand_16() did not work together correctly.
+ This problem is present in 1.5.2; if png_set_background is called with
+ need_expand false and the matching 16 bit color libpng erroneously just
+ treats it as an 8-bit color because of where png_do_expand_16 is in the
+ transform list. This simple fix reduces the supplied colour to 8-bits,
+ so it gets smashed, but this is better than the current behavior.
+ Added tests for expand16, more fixes for palette image tests to pngvalid.
+ Corrects the code for palette image tests and disables attempts to
+ validate palette colors.
+ Fixed uninitialized memory read in png_format_buffer() (Bug report by
+ Frank Busse, related to CVE-2004-0421).
+ Fixed png_handle_sCAL which is broken in 1.5; added sCAL to pngtest.png
+ Revised documentation about png_set_user_limits() to say that it also affects
+ png writing.
+ Revised handling of png_set_user_limits() so that it can increase the
+ limit beyond the PNG_USER_WIDTH|HEIGHT_MAX; previously it could only
+ reduce it.
+ Make the 16-to-8 scaling accurate. Dividing by 256 with no rounding is
+ wrong (high by one) 25% of the time. Dividing by 257 with rounding is
+ wrong in 128 out of 65536 cases. Getting the right answer all the time
+ without division is easy.
+ Added "_SUPPORTED" to the PNG_WRITE_CUSTOMIZE_ZTXT_COMPRESSION macro.
+ Added projects/owatcom, an IDE project for OpenWatcom to replace
+ scripts/makefile.watcom. This project works with OpenWatcom 1.9. The
+ IDE autogenerates appropriate makefiles (libpng.mk) for batch processing.
+ The project is configurable, unlike the Visual Studio project, so long
+ as the developer has an awk.
+ Changed png_set_gAMA to limit the gamma value range so that the inverse
+ of the stored value cannot overflow the fixed point representation,
+ and changed other things OpenWatcom warns about.
+ Revised pngvalid.c to test PNG_ALPHA_MODE_SUPPORTED correctly. This allows
+ pngvalid to build when ALPHA_MODE is not supported, which is required if
+ it is to build on libpng 1.4.
+ Removed string/memory macros that are no longer used and are not
+ necessarily fully supportable, particularly png_strncpy and png_snprintf.
+ Added log option to pngvalid.c and attempted to improve gamma messages.
+ People found the presence of a beta release following an rc release
+ to be confusing; therefore we bump the version to libpng-1.5.4beta01
+ and there will be no libpng-1.5.3 release.
+ Moved definitions of PNG_HAVE_IHDR, PNG_AFTER_IDAT, and PNG_HAVE_PLTE
+ outside of an unknown-chunk block in png.h because they are also
+ needed for other uses.
+ Added png_set_scale_16() API, to match inaccurate results from previous
+ libpng versions, configurable with PNG_READ_SCALE_16_TO_8_SUPPORTED.
+ Fixed a problem in png_do_expand_palette() exposed by optimization in
+ 1.5.3beta06
+ Also removed a spurious and confusing "trans" member ("trans") from png_info.
+ The palette expand optimization prevented expansion to an intermediate RGBA
+ form if tRNS was present but alpha was marked to be stripped; this exposed
+ a check for tRNS in png_do_expand_palette() which is inconsistent with the
+ code elsewhere in libpng.
+ Added PNG_TRANSFORM_SCALE_16 to the high-level read transforms.
+ If PNG_READ_16_TO_8_ACCURATE_SCALE is not enabled, png_set_scale_16()
+ and png_do_scale_16_to_8() aren't built.
+ Revised contrib/visupng, gregbook, and pngminim to demonstrate scale_16_to_8
+ Fixed pngvalid, simplified macros, added checking for 0 in sCAL.
+ The ACCURATE scale macro is no longer defined in libpng-1.5 - call the
+ png_scale_16_to_8 API. Made sure that PNG_READ_16_TO_8 is still defined
+ if the png_strip_16_to_8 API is present. png_check_fp_number now
+ maintains some state so that positive, negative and zero values are
+ identified. sCAL uses these to be strictly spec conformant.
+ Define PNG_ALLOCATED to "restrict" only if MSC_VER >= 1400.
