Changes since the last public release (1.6.8):
Version 1.6.9beta01 [December 26, 2013]
Bookkeeping: Moved functions around (no changes). Moved transform
function definitions before the place where they are called so that
they can be masde static. Move the intrapixel functions and the
grayscale palette builder out of the png?tran.c files. The latter
isn't a transform function and is no longer used internally, and the
former MNG specific functions are better placed in pngread/pngwrite.c
Made transform implementation functions static. This makes the internal
functions called by png_do_{read|write}_transformations static. On an
x86-64 DLL build (Gentoo Linux) this reduces the size of the text
segment of the DLL by 1208 bytes, about 0.6%. It also simplifies
maintenance by removing the declarations from pngpriv.h and allowing
easier changes to the internal interfaces.
Rebuilt configure scripts with automake-1.14.1 and autoconf-2.69
in the tar distributions.
Version 1.6.9beta02 [January 1, 2014]
Added checks for libpng 1.5 to pngvalid.c. This supports the use of
this version of pngvalid in libpng 1.5
Merged with pngvalid.c from libpng-1.7 changes to create a single
pngvalid.c
Removed #error macro from contrib/tools/pngfix.c (Thomas Klausner).
Merged pngrio.c, pngtrans.c, pngwio.c, and pngerror.c with libpng-1.7.0
Merged libpng-1.7.0 changes to make no-interlace configurations work
with test programs.
Revised pngvalid.c to support libpng 1.5, which does not support the
PNG_MAXIMUM_INFLATE_WINDOW option, so #define it out when appropriate in
pngvalid.c
Allow unversioned links created on install to be disabled in configure.
In configure builds 'make install' changes/adds links like png.h
and libpng.a to point to the newly installed, versioned, files (e.g.
libpng17/png.h and libpng17.a). Three new configure options and some
rearrangement of Makefile.am allow creation of these links to be disabled.
Version 1.6.9beta03 [January 10, 2014]
Removed potentially misleading warning from png_check_IHDR().
Version 1.6.9beta04 [January 12, 2014]
Updated scripts/makefile.* to use CPPFLAGS (Cosmin)
