We replaced all of these functions with simple stubs in libpng-1.2.20,

IX. Changes to Libpng from version 1.0.x/1.2.x to 1.4.x
Private libpng prototypes and macro definitions were moved from
png.h and pngconf.h into a new pngpriv.h header file.
Support for the iTXt chunk has been enabled by default.
Support for global arrays was removed.
Some obsolete/deprecated macros and functions have been removed.
These macros are deprecated:

The PNG_1_0_X and PNG_1_2_X macros were eliminated.
The PNG_LEGACY_SUPPORTED macro was eliminated.
Many WIN32_WCE #ifdefs were removed.
PNG_MAX_UINT was replaced with PNG_UINT_31_MAX. It has been

The functions png_read_init(info_ptr), png_write_init(info_ptr),
png_info_init(info_ptr), png_read_destroy(), and png_write_destroy()
have been removed. They have been deprecated since libpng-0.95.
The function
png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8()
which also expands tRNS to alpha was replaced with
png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8()

Support for numbered error messages was removed by default, since we
never got around to actually numbering the error messages. The function
png_set_strip_error_numbers() was removed from the library by default.
Functions png_set_benign_errors(), png_benign_error(), and
png_chunk_benign_error() were added.

We implemented support for I/O states. Added png_ptr member io_state, and
functions png_get_io_chunk_name() and png_get_io_state() in pngget.c
The png_calloc() function was added and is used in place of
of "png_malloc(); png_memset();" except in the case in png_read_png()
where the array consists of pointers; in this case a "for" loop is used
after the png_malloc() to set the pointers to NULL.
We added PNG_TRANSFORM_GRAY_TO_RGB to the available high-level
input transforms.
We added the png_set_premultiply_alpha and
png_do_read_premultiply_alpha() functions.
The call to png_do_chop() in pngrtran.c, which reduces 16-bit input
files to 8-bit bit depth, was relocated ahead of the building
of gamma tables. This allows us to build 8-bit tables instead
of 16-bit tables, when only 8-bit tables are needed. This avoids
wasting some computing resources when the application has called
the png_set_strip_16() function and encounters a 16-bit PNG file.
Checking for and reporting of errors in the IHDR chunk is more thorough.
