the #ifdef PNG_SET_UNKNOWN_CHUNKS_SUPPORTED/#endif block.
Removed recently-added #ifdef from pngpread.c; moving the prototype
in pngpriv.h fixed the compiler warning that the #ifdef was trying
to solve.
fixed Cygwin+MSVC build errors. The ICC profile handling now includes more
checking. Several errors that caused rejection of the profile are now
handled with a warning in such a way that the invalid profiles will be
read by default in release (but not pre-RC) builds but will not be
written by default. The easy part of handling a cHRM chunk is written,
where the ICC profile contains the required data. The more difficult
part plus guessing a gAMA value requires code to pass selected RGB values
through the profile.
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.
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.
read code now claims and releases png_ptr->zstream, like the write code.
The bug whereby the progressive reader failed to release the zstream
is now fixed, all initialization is delayed, and the code checks for
changed parameters on deflate rather than always calling
deflatedEnd/deflateInit.
pngpread.c and use the sequential png_handle_tEXt, etc., in pngrutil.c;
now that png_ptr->buffer is inaccessible to applications, the special
handling is no longer useful.
Added new "png_structrp" typedef. Because of the
way libpng works both png_info and png_struct are always accessed via a
single pointer. This means adding C99 'restrict' to the pointer gives
the compiler some opportunity to optimize the code. This change allows that.
changes alter how the tricky allocation of the initial png_struct and png_info
structures are handled. png_info is now handled in pretty much the same
way as everything else, except that the allocations handle NULL return
silently. png_struct is changed in a similar way on allocation and on
deallocation a 'safety' error handler is put in place (which should never
be required). The error handler itself is changed to permit mismatches
in the application and libpng error buffer size; however, this means a
silent change to the API to return the jmp_buf if the size doesn't match
the size from the libpng compilation; libpng now allocates the memory and
this may fail. Overall these changes result in slight code size
reductions; however, this is a reduction in code that is always executed
so is particularly valuable. Overall on a 64-bit system the libpng DLL
decreases in code size by 1733 bytes. pngerror.o increases in size by
about 465 bytes because of the new functionality.
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.)
Certain optional gcc warning flags resulted in warnings in libpng code.
With these changes only -Wconversion and -Wcast-qual cannot be turned on.
Changes are trivial rearrangements of code. -Wconversion is not possible
for pngrutil.c (because of the widespread use of += et al on variables
smaller than (int) or (unsigned int)) and -Wcast-qual is not possible
with pngwio.c and pngwutil.c because the 'write' callback and zlib
compression both fail to declare their input buffers with 'const'.
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.
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.
(Patches by John Bowler)
for DEF file generation.
PNG_CALLBACK added to make callback definitions uniform. PNGAPI split
into PNGCAPI (base C form), PNGAPI (exports) and PNGCBAPI (callbacks),
and appropriate changes made to all files. Cygwin builds re-hinged to
allow procedure call standard changes and to remove the need for the DEF
file (fixes build on Cygwin).

from the source files, along with "#define PNG_EXPOSE_INTERNAL_STRUCTURES"
and "#define PNG_NO_PEDANTIC_WARNINGS" (John Bowler).
Also created new pngdebug.h and moved debug definitions there.
