generator. The generator generates images that test the full range of sample
values, allow the error numbers in pngstest to be tuned and checked. makepng
also allows generation of images with extra chunks, although this is
still work-in-progress.
store intermediate files, or intermediate in-memory data, while processing
image data with the simplified API. The option makes the files larger
but faster to write and read. pngstest now uses this by default; this
can be disabled with the --slow option.
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.)
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.
FLOATING_POINT options were switched off, png.h ended up with lone ';'
characters. This is not valid ANSI-C outside a function. The ';'
characters have been moved inside the definition of PNG_FP_EXPORT and
PNG_FIXED_EXPORT. 2) If either option was switched off, the declaration
of the corresponding functions were completely omitted, even though some
of them are still used internally. The result is still valid, but
produces warnings from gcc with some warning options (including -Wall). The
fix is to cause png.h to declare the functions with PNG_INTERNAL_FUNCTION
when png.h is included from pngpriv.h.
Fixed a memory overwrite bug in simplified read of RGB PNG with
non-linear gamma Also bugs in the error checking in pngread.c and changed
quite a lot of the checks in pngstest.c to be correct; either correctly
written or not over-optimistic. The pngstest changes are insufficient to
allow all possible RGB transforms to be passed; pngstest cmppixel needs
to be rewritten to make it clearer which errors it allows and then changed
to permit known inaccuracies.
The API is extremely inaccurate for sRGB conversions because it uses an 8-bit
intermediate linear value and it does not use the sRGB transform, so it
suffers from the known instability in gamma transforms for values close
to 0 (see Poynton). The net result is that the calculation has a maximum
error of 14.99/255; 0.5/255^(1/2.2). pngstest now uses 15 for the
permitted 8-bit error. This may still not be enough because of arithmetic
error.
to the background parameter of png_image_finish_read. The --background
option is now done automagically only when required, so that commandline
option no longer exists.
