Moved reading of file signature into png_read_sig (Cosmin)
Fixed atomicity of chunk header serialization (Cosmin)
Added test for io_state in pngtest.c (Cosmin)
Added "#!/bin/sh" at the top of contrib/pngminim/*/gather.sh scripts.
The Try/Catch blocks were checking that the context had not changed -
unnecessary and cexcept cannot handle separate (potentially interleaved)
contexts anyway. Changed the code to make the Catch re-instate the context -
this should help the compiler because the context is the png_store and
minimising the need for the compiler to avoid optimizing it away is good.
literal pointers declare them (John Bowler).
Many APIs did not change their arguments but were not declared using
PNG_CONST. This change corrects this. In a few cases APIs that return
constant string literal pointers have also been changed to declare this.
Unlike the argument change this may require app changes; however the
results could never be written to (the app would crash on some platforms
where strings are not writable), so this seems advisable.
The changes include support for function attributes in VC in addition to
those already present in GCC - necessary because without these some
warnings are unavoidable. Fixes include signed/unsigned fixes in
pngvalid and checks with gcc -Wall -Wextra -Wunused.
VC requires function attributes on function definitions as well as
declarations, PNG_FUNCTION has been added to enable this and the
relevant function definitions changed.
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.
