The slightly modified tables reduce the number of 16-bit values that
convert to an off-by-one 8-bit value. The "makesRGB.c" code that was used
to generate the tables is now in a contrib/sRGBtables sub-directory.
Also added scripts/chkfmt to validate the format of all the files that can
reasonably be validated (it is suggested to run "make distclean" before
checking, because some machine generated files have long lines.)
Reformatted the CHANGES file to be more consistent throughout.
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)
where it is not appropriate. If mainprog->jmpbuf is used by setjmp,
then png_longjmp cannot be used.
Reversed patch to remove error handler when the jmp_buf is stored in the
main program structure, not the png_struct.
The error handler is needed because the default handler in libpng will
always use the jmp_buf in the library control structure; this is never
set. The gregbook code is a useful example because, even though it
uses setjmp/longjmp, it shows how error handling can be implemented
using control mechanisms not directly supported by libpng. The
technique will work correctly with mechanisms such as Microsoft
Structure Exceptions or C++ exceptions (compiler willing - note that gcc
does not by default support interworking of C and C++ error handling.)
