This is necessary because the VS2010 output window otherwise simply loses
the error messages on error (they weren't flushed to the window before
the process exited, apparently!)
all potentially valid ICC profiles and reject obviously invalid ones.
It now uses png_error() to do so rather than casually writing a PNG
without the necessary color data.
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.
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.
compiler issues slightly different warnings from those issued by the
current vesions of GCC. This eliminates those warnings by
adding/removing casts and small code rewrites.
