They + have been combined with PNG_SET_USER_LIMITS_SUPPORTED (resolves + bug report by Andrew Church). + Fixed rgb_to_gray checks and added tRNS checks to pngvalid.c. This + fixes some arithmetic errors that caused some tests to fail on + some 32-bit platforms (Bug reports by Peter Breitenlohner [i686] + and Petr Gajdos [i586]). + Suppressed some warnings from the Borland C++ 5.5.1/5.82 compiler + (Bug report by Viktor Szaka'ts). + Replaced "unexpected" with an integer (0xabadca11) in pngset.c + where a long was expected, to avoid a compiler warning when PNG_DEBUG > 1. + Added contrib/examples/simpleover.c, to demonstrate how to handle + alpha compositing of multiple images, using the "simplified API" + and an example PNG generation tool, contrib/examples/genpng.c + (John Bowler). + PNG_RELEASE_BUILD replaces tests where the code depended on the build base + type and can be defined on the command line, allowing testing in beta + builds (John Bowler). + Avoid Coverity issue 80858 (REVERSE NULL) in pngtest.c + Avoid a harmless potential integer overflow in png_XYZ_from_xy() (Bug + report from Christopher Ferris). + Backport filter selection code from libpng-1.7.0beta51, to combine + sub_row, up_row, avg_row, and paeth_row into try_row and tst_row. + Changed png_voidcast(), etc., to voidcast(), etc., in contrib/tools/pngfix.c + to avoid confusion with the libpng private macros. + Fixed old cut&paste bug in the weighted filter selection code in + pngwutil.c, introduced in libpng-0.95, March 1997. + Removed WRITE_WEIGHTED_FILTERED code, to save a few kbytes of the + compiled library size. It never worked properly and as far as we can + tell, no one uses it. The png_set_filter_heuristics() and + png_set_filter_heuristics_fixed() APIs are retained but deprecated + and do nothing. + Quieted some Coverity issues in pngfix.c, png-fix-itxt.c, pngvalid.c, + pngstest.c, and pngimage.c. Most seem harmless, but png-fix-itxt + would only work with iTXt chunks with length 255 or less. + Removed non-working progressive reader 'skip' function. This + function has apparently never been used. It was implemented + to support back-door modification of png_struct in libpng-1.4.x + but (because it does nothing and cannot do anything) was apparently + never tested (John Bowler). + Fixed cexcept.h in which GCC 5 now reports that one of the auto + variables in the Try macro needs to be volatile to prevent value + being lost over the setjmp (John Bowler). + Added #ifdef's to contrib/examples programs so people don't try + to compile them without the minimum required support enabled + (suggested by Flavio Medeiros). + Eliminated the final two Coverity defects (insecure temporary file + handling in contrib/libtests/pngstest.c; possible overflow of + unsigned char in contrib/tools/png-fix-itxt.c). To use the "secure" + file handling, define PNG_USE_MKSTEMP, otherwise "tmpfile()" will + be used. + Removed some unused WEIGHTED_FILTER macros from pngstruct.h + Replaced arbitrary use of 'extern' with #define PNG_LINKAGE_*. To + preserve API compatibility, the new defines all default to "extern" + (requested by Jan Nijtmans). + Belatedly added Mans Rullgard and James Yu to the list of Contributing + Authors. + +Send comments/corrections/commendations to png-mng-implement at lists.sf.net +(subscription required; visit +https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/png-mng-implement +to subscribe) +or to glennrp at users.sourceforge.net + +Glenn R-P |
