a flag to change default. In 1.6.0 when the simplified API was used
to produce color-mapped output from an input image with no gamma
information the gamma assumed for the input could be different from
that assumed for non-color-mapped output. In particular 16-bit depth
input files were assumed to be sRGB encoded, whereas in the 'direct'
case they were assumed to have linear data. This was an error. The
fix makes the simplified API treat all input files the same way and
adds a new flag to the png_image::flags member to allow the
application/user to specify that 16-bit files contain sRGB data
rather than the default linear.
Fixed bugs in the pngpixel and makepng test programs.
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.
ignore all unknown chunks and all known chunks except for IHDR, PLTE, tRNS,
IDAT, and IEND. Previously it only meant ignore all unknown chunks, the
same as num_chunks == 0. Revised png_image_skip_unused_chunks() to
provide a list of chunks to be processed instead of a list of chunks to
ignore. Revised contrib/gregbook/readpng2.c accordingly.
on alignment increasing pointer casts when -Wcast-align is passed. This
fixes the cases clang warns about either (pngread.c) by eliminating the
casts from png_bytep to png_uint_16p or, for pngrutil.c where the cast
is previously verified or pngstest.c where it is OK by introducing new
png_aligncast macros to do the cast in a way that clang accepts.
checks. The code now does a png_error if an attempt is made to do the
row initialization twice; this is an application error and it has
serious consequences because the transform data in png_struct is
changed by each call.
This turns on PNG_FLAG_DETECT_UNINITIALIZED to detect app code that
fails to call one of the 'start' routines (not enabled in libpng-1.5
because it is technically an API change, since it did normally work
before.) It also makes duplicate calls to png_read_start_row (an
internal function called at the start of the image read) benign, as
they were before changes to use png_inflate_claim. Somehow webkit is
causing this to happen; this is probably a mis-feature in the zlib
changes so this commit is only a work-round.
default. Also changed some warnings in the iCCP and sRGB handling
from to benign errors. Configuration now makes read benign
errors warnings and write benign errors to errors by default (thus
changing the behavior on read). The simplified API always forces
read benign errors to errors (regardless of the system default, unless
this is disabled in which case the simplified API can't be built.)
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.
problems. This is an intermediate check-in that solves the immediate problems
and introduces one performance improvement (avoiding a copy via png_ptr->zbuf.)
Further changes will be made to make ICC profile handling more secure.
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.
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.
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.
using g++. The compiler imposes C++ rules on the C source; thus it
is desireable to make the source work with either C or C++ rules
without throwing away useful error information. This change adds
png_voidcast to allow C semantic (void*) cases or the corresponding
C++ static_cast operation, as appropriate.
