Changes since the last public release (1.6.18):
Version 1.6.19beta01 [July 30, 2015]
Updated obsolete information about the simplified API macros in the
manual pages (Bug report by Arc Riley).
Avoid potentially dereferencing NULL info_ptr in png_info_init_3().
Rearranged png.h to put the major sections in the same order as
in libpng17.
Eliminated unused PNG_COST_SHIFT, PNG_WEIGHT_SHIFT, PNG_COST_FACTOR, and
PNG_WEIGHT_FACTOR macros.
Suppressed some warnings from the Borland C++ 5.5.1/5.82 compiler
(Bug report by Viktor Szakats). Several warnings remain and are
unavoidable, where we test for overflow.
Fixed potential leak of png_pixels in contrib/pngminus/pnm2png.c
Fixed uninitialized variable in contrib/gregbook/rpng2-x.c
Version 1.6.19beta02 [August 17, 2015]
Moved config.h.in~ from the "libpng_autotools_files" list to the
"libpng_autotools_extra" list in autogen.sh because it was causing a
false positive for missing files (bug report by Robert C. Seacord).
Removed unreachable "break" statements in png.c, pngread.c, and pngrtran.c
to suppress clang warnings (Bug report by Viktor Szakats).
Fixed some bad links in the man page.
Changed "n bit" to "n-bit" in comments.
Changed 0xnnnn constants to 0xnnnnUL.
Added signed/unsigned 16-bit safety net. This removes the dubious
0x8000 flag definitions on 16-bit systems. They aren't supported
yet the defs *probably* work, however it seems much safer to do this
and be advised if anyone, contrary to advice, is building libpng 1.6
on a 16-bit system. It also adds back various switch default clauses
for GCC; GCC errors out if they are not present (with an appropriately
high level of warnings).
