READ_GAMMA. Prior to 1.6.0 switching off READ_GAMMA did unpredictable things
to the interfaces that use it (specifically, png_do_background in 1.4 would
simply display composite for grayscale images but do composition
with the incorrect arithmetic for color ones). In 1.6 the semantic
of -DPNG_NO_READ_GAMMA is changed to simply disable any interface that
depends on it; this obliges people who set it to consider whether they
really want it off if they happen to use any of the interfaces in
question (typically most users who disable it won't).
management system (CMS). In practice it is not possible to obtain cHRM
information reliably using just the end-point tags because they do not exist
in the vast majority of profiles. Instead it is necessary to run the endpoints
through the ICC colorimetric intent transform (as described in the v4
spec). Since this is likely to be too much code inside libpng for too
little gain (it implies a fairly complete CMS implementation) the code
has been changed to allow an external CMS to be used. This code is
temporarily disabled until a suitable set of test cases using one or more
external CMS implementations have been implemented.
png_set_keep_unknown_chunks() to be turned off if not required and causes
both read and write to behave appropriately (on read this is only possible
if the user callback is used to handle unknown chunks). The change
also removes the support for storing unknown chunks in the info_struct
if the only unknown handling enabled is via the callback, allowing libpng
to be configured with callback reading and none of the unnecessary code.
control of the unknown handling, corrects the pre-existing bug where
the per-chunk 'keep' setting is ignored and makes it possible to skip
IDAT chunks in the sequential reader (broken in earlier 1.6 versions).
There is a new test program, test-unknown.c, which is a work in progress
(not currently part of the test suite). Comments in the header files now
explain how the unknown handling works.
default. Also changed some warnings in the iCCP and sRGB handling
from to benign errors. Configuration now makes read benign
errors warnings and write benign errors to errors by default (thus
changing the behavior on read). The simplified API always forces
read benign errors to errors (regardless of the system default, unless
this is disabled in which case the simplified API can't be built.)
functions [rw]util.c. A new shared keyword check routine was also added
and the 'zbuf' is no longer allocated on progressive read. It is now
possible to call png_inflate() incrementally.
to reset the user limits to safe ones if PNG_SAFE_LIMITS is defined.
To enable, use CPPFLAGS=-DPNG_SAFE_LIMITS on the configure command
or put #define PNG_SAFE_LIMITS_SUPPORTED in pnglibconf.h.prebuilt.
(Reverted previous implementation of PNG_SECURE.)
It is too risky. Exactly how png_ptr->zbuf is used is under control of the
individual chunk implementation and there could easily be significant changes
within a major release.
wrong (high by one) 25% of the time. Dividing by 257 with rounding is
wrong in 128 out of 65536 cases. Getting the right answer all the time
without division is easy.
This was because the attempt to reset the zlib stream in png_write_IDAT
happened after the first IDAT chunk had been deflated - much too late.
In this change internal functions are added to claim/release the z_stream
and, hopefully, make the code more robust. Also deflateEnd checking is
added - previously libpng would ignore an error at the end of the stream.
This change adds internal APIs to allow png_warning messages to have parameters
without requiring the host OS to implelment snprintf. As a side effect the
dependency of the RFC1132 code on stdio is removed and PNG_NO_WARNINGS does
actually work now.
handling. Internal changes only except for a new option to avoid compiling
in the png_build_grayscale_palette API (which is not used at all internally.)
The main change is to move the transform tests (READ_TRANSFORMS,
WRITE_TRANSFORMS) up one level to the caller of the APIs.
the namespace. Added png_get_current_row_number and
png_get_current_pass_number for the
benefit of the user transform callback.
Added png_process_data_pause and png_process_data_skip for the benefit of
progressive readers that need to stop data processing or want to optimize
skipping of unread data (e.g. if the reader marks a chunk to be skipped.)
in pngpriv.h in case the user forgot to define them in their pngusr.h. This
means it is safe for people not building a DLL to omit these defines from pngusr.h.
that were recently introduced, mostly resulting from
safe but uncast assignments to shorter integers. Also added a zlib
VStudio release library project because the latest zlib Official Windows
build does not include such a thing.
Fixed point APIs are now supported throughout (no missing APIs).
Internal fixed point arithmetic support exists for all internal floating
point operations.
sCAL validates the floating point strings it is passed.
Safe, albeit rudimentary, Watcom support is provided by PNG_API_RULE==2
Two new APIs exist to get the number of passes without turning on the
PNG_INTERLACE transform and to get the number of rows in the current
pass.
A new test program, pngvalid.c, validates the gamma code.
Errors in the 16 bit gamma correction (overflows) have been corrected.
cHRM chunk testing is done consistently (previously the floating point
API bypassed it, because the test really didn't work on FP, now the test
is performed on the actual values to be stored in the PNG file so it
works in the FP case too.)
Most floating point APIs now simply call the fixed point APIs after
converting the values to the fixed point form used in the PNG file.
The standard headers no longer include zlib.h, which is currently only
required for pngstruct.h and can therefore be internal.

options. This makes the installed pnglibconf.h more readable but causes no
other change. The intention is that users of libpng will find it
easier to understand if an API they need is missing.
This allows the functions
to read and write ints to be disabled independently of PNG_USE_READ_MACROS,
which allows libpng to be built with the functions even though the default
is to use the macros - this allows applications to choose at app build
time whether or not to use macros (previously impossible because the
functions weren't in the default build.)
