Changes since the last public release (1.6.7):
Version 1.6.8beta01 [November 24, 2013]
Changed #ifdef PNG_HANDLE_AS_UNKNOWN_SUPPORTED in pngpread.c to
#ifdef PNG_SET_UNKNOWN_CHUNKS_SUPPORTED to be consistent with
what is in pngpriv.h.
Moved prototype for png_handle_unknown() in pngpriv.h outside of
the #ifdef PNG_SET_UNKNOWN_CHUNKS_SUPPORTED/#endif block.
Added "-Wall" to CFLAGS in contrib/pngminim/*/makefile
Conditionally compile some unused functions reported by -Wall in pngminim.
Fixed 'minimal' builds. Various obviously useful minimal configurations
don't build because of missing contrib/libtests test programs and
overly complex dependencies in scripts/pnglibconf.dfa. This change
adds contrib/conftest/*.dfa files that can be used in automatic build
scripts to ensure that these configurations continue to build.
Enabled WRITE_INVERT and WRITE_PACK in contrib/pngminim/encoder.
Fixed pngvalid 'fail' function declaration on the Intel C Compiler.
This reverts to the previous 'static' implementation and works round
the 'unused static function' warning by using PNG_UNUSED().
Version 1.6.8beta02 [November 30, 2013]
Removed or marked PNG_UNUSED some harmless "dead assignments" reported
by clang scan-build.
Changed tabs to 3 spaces in png_debug macros and changed '"%s"m'
to '"%s" m' to improve portability among compilers.
Changed png_free_default() to free() in pngtest.c
Version 1.6.8rc01 [December 12, 2013]
Tidied up pngfix inits and fixed pngtest no-write builds.
Version 1.6.8rc02 [December 14, 2013]
Handle zero-length PLTE chunk or NULL palette with png_error()
instead of png_chunk_report(), which by default issues a warning
rather than an error, leading to later reading from a NULL pointer
(png_ptr->palette) in png_do_expand_palette().
