version 1.4.0beta93 [November 7, 2009]
  Added PNG_DEPSTRUCT, PNG_DEPRECATED, PNG_USE_RESULT, PNG_NORETURN, and
    PNG_ALLOCATED macros to detect deprecated direct access to the
    png_struct or info_struct members and other deprecated usage in
    applications (John Bowler).
  Updated scripts/makefile* to add "-DPNG_CONFIGURE_LIBPNG" to CFLAGS,
    to prevent warnings about direct access to png structs by libpng
    functions while building libpng.  They need to be tested, especially
    those using compilers other than gcc.
  Updated projects/visualc6 and visualc71 with "/d PNG_CONFIGURE_LIBPNG".
    They should work but still need to be updated to remove
    references to pnggccrd.c or pngvcrd.c and ASM building.
  Added README.txt to the beos, cbuilder5, netware, and xcode projects warning
    that they need to be updated, to remove references to pnggccrd.c and

    that were detected by the new PNG_DEPSTRUCT macro.

  Removed recently removed function names from scripts/*.def

version 1.4.0beta97 [November 13, 2009]
  Restored pngtest.png to the libpng-1.4.0beta7 version.

  Fixed a typo in scripts/pngwin.def introduced in beta97.

version 1.4.0beta99 [November 14, 2009]
  Moved libpng-config.in and libpng.pc-configure.in out of the scripts
    directory, to libpng-config.in and libpng-pc.in, respectively, and
    modified Makefile.am and configure.ac accordingly.  Now "configure"
    needs nothing from the "scripts" directory.

    accidentally deleted from the zip and 7z distributions when the xcode
    project was added.

version 1.4.0beta102 [November 18, 2009]

  Removed obsolete comments about ASM from projects/visualc71/README_zlib.txt
  Align row_buf on 16-byte boundary in memory.
  Restored the PNG_WRITE_FLUSH_AFTER_IEND guard around the call to png_flush()
    after png_write_IEND().  See 1.4.0beta32, 1.4.0beta50 changes above
    and 1.2.30, 1.2.30rc01 and rc03 in 1.2.41 CHANGES.  Someone needs this
    feature.
  Make the 'png_jmpbuf' macro expand to a call that records the correct
    longjmp function as well as returning a pointer to the setjmp
    jmp_buf buffer, and marked direct access to jmpbuf 'deprecated'.
    (John Bowler)

version 1.4.0beta104 [November 22, 2009]

    alpha premultiplication when PNG_READ_COMPOSITE_NODIV_SUPPORTED is defined.
  Changed "/255" to "/255.0" in background calculations to make it clear
    that the 255 is used as a double.

version 1.4.0beta106 [November 27, 2009]
