Libpng 1.0.8rc1 - July 17, 2000

This is a public release of libpng, intended for use in production codes.

Changes since the last public release (1.0.7):

  Added png_free(png_ptr, key) two places in pngpread.c to stop memory leaks.
  Changed PNG_NO_STDIO to PNG_NO_CONSOLE_IO, several places in pngrutil.c and
     pngwutil.c.
  Changed PNG_EXPORT_VAR to use PNG_IMPEXP, in pngconf.h.
  Removed unused "#include <assert.h>" from png.c
  Added WindowsCE support.
  Revised pnggccrd.c to work with gcc-2.95.2 and in the Cygwin environment.
  Only set the PNG_FLAG_FREE_TRNS or PNG_FREE_TRNS flag in png_handle_tRNS()
     for indexed-color input files to avoid potential double-freeing trans array
     under some unusual conditions; problem was introduced in version 1.0.7.
  Added the files pngbar.png and pngbar.jpg to the distribution.
  Added cygwin subdirectory, makefile.cygwin, and cygwin support in pngconf.h
  Added PNG_NO_ZALLOC_ZERO macro (makes png_zalloc skip zeroing memory)
  Revised png_debug() macros and statements to eliminate compiler warnings.
