XII. Changes to Libpng from version 1.5.x to 1.6.x

A "simplified API" has been added (see documentation in png.h and a simple

Starting with libpng-1.6.0, you can configure libpng to prefix all exported

symbols, using the PNG_PREFIX macro.

We no longer include string.h in png.h. The include statement has been moved

The png_sizeof(), png_strlen(), png_memcpy(), png_memcmp(), and

png_memset() macros are no longer used in the libpng sources and

have been removed. These had already been made invisible to applications

|

(i.e., defined in the private pngpriv.h header file) since libpng-1.5.0.
|
||||
|
||||
The signatures of many exported functions were changed, such that
|
||||
png_structp became png_structrp or png_const_structrp
|
||||
png_infop became png_inforp or png_const_inforp
|
||||
where "rp" indicates a "restricted pointer".
|
||||
|
||||
The new default for chunk_benign_error() is warn on read, error on write.
|
||||
In some cases png_warning has been replaced by png_chunk_error(); applications
|
||||
won't see a change unless the it makes benign_error call png_error.
|
||||
|
||||
Error detection in some chunks has improved; in particular the iCCP chunk
|
||||
reader now does pretty complete validation of the basic format. Some bad
|
||||
profiles that were previously accepted are now rejected, in particular the
|
||||
very old broken Microsoft/HP sRGB profile.
|
||||
|
||||
The library now issues a warning if both background processing and RGB to
|
||||
gray are used when gamma correction happens. As with previous versions of
|
||||
the library the results are numerically very incorrect.
|
||||
|
||||
There are some minor arithmetic changes in some transforms such as
|
||||
png_set_background(), that might be detected by certain regression tests.
|
||||
|
||||
Unknown chunk handling has been improved internally, without any API change.
|
||||
This adds more correct option control of the unknown handling, corrects
|
||||
a pre-existing bug where the per-chunk 'keep' setting is ignored, and makes
|
||||
it possible to skip IDAT chunks in the sequential reader.

XVI. Y2K Compliance in libpng

Since the PNG Development group is an ad-hoc body, we can't make

an official declaration.

This is your unofficial assurance that libpng from version 0.71 and
|

upward through 1.6.0beta32 are Y2K compliant. It is my belief that earlier
|
||||
upward through 1.6.0beta33 are Y2K compliant. It is my belief that earlier
|

versions were also Y2K compliant.
