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.
changes the 'Paeth' reconstruction function to improve the GCC code
generation on x86. The changes are only part of the suggested ones;
just the changes that definitely improve speed and remain simple.
The changes also slightly increase the clarity of the code. In a
in pngmem.c; pngvalid would attempt to call png_error() if the allocation
of a png_struct or png_info failed. This would probably have led to a
crash. The pngmem.c implementation of png_malloc() included a cast
to png_size_t which would fail on large allocations on 16-bit systems.
The logical shift fix for Microsoft Visual C is required by other compilers,
so this enables that fix for all compilers when using compile-time constants.
Under MSYS 'byte' is a name declared in a system header file, so we
changed the name of a local variable to avoid the warnings that result.

overwrite the end of the image if the row width is not an exact multiple
of 8 bits and the image is not interlaced.
small percentage for 16-bit and 32-bit pixels in the typical case where the
output row buffers are appropriately aligned. The optimization was not
previously possible because the png_struct buffer was always misaligned.
caused by a bug in the code that attempted to align it; the code needs to
subtract one from the pointer to take account of the filter byte prepended to
each row.
to conditions where types that are 32 bits in the GCC 32-bit
world (uLong and png_size_t) become 64 bits in the 64-bit
world. This produces potential truncation errors which the
compiler correctly flags.
recognize the file extension, so it always compiles with C++ rules. Made minor
changes to pngrutil.c to cast results where C++ expects it but C does not.

The cHRM chunk now sets the defaults for png_set_rgb_to_gray() (when negative
parameters are supplied by the caller), while in the absence of cHRM
sRGB/Rec 709 values are still used.
The bKGD chunk no longer overwrites the background value set by
png_set_background(), allowing the latter to be used before the file
header is read. It never performed any useful function to override
the default anyway.

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.
