|
Changes since the last public release (1.5.7):
|
|
|
|
Version 1.6.0beta01 [December 15, 2011]
|
|
Removed machine-generated configure files from the GIT repository (they will
|
|
continue to appear in the tarball distributions).
|
|
Restored the new 'simplified' API, which was started in libpng-1.5.7beta02
|
|
but later deleted from libpng-1.5.7beta05.
|
|
Added example programs for the new 'simplified' API.
|
|
Added ANSI-C (C90) headers and require them, and take advantage of the
|
|
change. Also fixed some of the projects/* and contrib/* files that needed
|
|
updates for libpng16 and the move of pngvalid.c.
|
|
With this change the required ANSI-C header files are assumed to exist: the
|
|
implementation must provide float.h, limits.h, stdarg.h and stddef.h and
|
|
libpng relies on limits.h and stddef.h existing and behaving as defined
|
|
(the other two required headers aren't used). Non-ANSI systems that don't
|
|
have stddef.h or limits.h will have to provide an appropriate fake
|
|
containing the relevant types and #defines.
|
|
The use of FAR/far has been eliminated and the definition of png_alloc_size_t
|
|
is now controlled by a flag so that 'small size_t' systems can select it
|
|
if necessary. Libpng 1.6 may not currently work on such systems -- it
|
|
seems likely that it will ask 'malloc' for more than 65535 bytes with any
|
|
image that has a sufficiently large row size (rather than simply failing
|
|
to read such images).
|
|
New tools directory containing tools used to generate libpng code.
|
|
Fixed race conditions in parallel make builds. With higher degrees of
|
|
parallelism during 'make' the use of the same temporary file names such
|
|
as 'dfn*' can result in a race where a temporary file from one arm of the
|
|
build is deleted or overwritten in another arm. This changes the
|
|
temporary files for suffix rules to always use $* and ensures that the
|
|
non-suffix rules use unique file names.
|
|
|
|
Version 1.6.0beta02 [December 21, 2011]
|
|
Correct configure builds where build and source directories are separate.
|
|
The include path of 'config.h' was erroneously made relative in pngvalid.c
|
|
in libpng 1.5.7.
|
|
|
|
Version 1.6.0beta03 [December 22, 2011]
|
|
Start-up code size improvements, error handler flexibility. These 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.
|
|
|
|
Version 1.6.0beta04 [December 30, 2011]
|
|
Regenerated configure scripts with automake-1.11.2
|
|
Eliminated png_info_destroy(). It is now used only in png.c and only calls
|
|
one other internal function and memset().
|
|
Enabled png_get_sCAL_fixed() if floating point APIs are enabled. Previously
|
|
it was disabled whenever internal fixed point arithmetic was selected,
|
|
which meant it didn't exist even on systems where FP was available but not
|
|
preferred.
|
|
Added pngvalid.c compile time checks for const APIs.
|
|
Implemented 'restrict' for png_info and png_struct. 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.
|
|
Moved AC_MSG_CHECKING([if libraries can be versioned]) later to the proper
|
|
location in configure.ac (Gilles Espinasse).
|
|
Changed png_memcpy to C assignment where appropriate. Changed all those
|
|
uses of png_memcpy that were doing a simple assignment to assignments
|
|
(all those cases where the thing being copied is a non-array C L-value).
|
|
Added some error checking to png_set_*() routines.
|
|
Removed the reference to the non-exported function png_memcpy() from
|
|
example.c.
|
|
Fixed the Visual C 64-bit build - it requires jmp_buf to be aligned, but
|
|
it had become misaligned.
|
|
Revised contrib/pngminus/pnm2png.c to avoid warnings when png_uint_32
|
|
and unsigned long are of different sizes.
|
|
|
|
Version 1.6.0beta05 [January 15, 2012]
|
|
Updated manual with description of the simplified API (copied from png.h)
|
|
Fix bug in pngerror.c: some long warnings were being improperly truncated
|
|
(bug introduced in libpng-1.5.3beta05).
|
|
|
|
Version 1.6.0beta06 [January 24, 2012]
|
|
Added palette support to the simplified APIs. This commit
|
|
changes some of the macro definitions in png.h, app code
|
|
may need corresponding changes.
|
|
Increased the formatted warning buffer to 192 bytes.
|
|
Added color-map support to simplified API. This is an initial version for
|
|
review; the documentation has not yet been updated.
|
|
Fixed Min/GW uninstall to remove libpng.dll.a
|
|
|
|
Version 1.6.0beta07 [January 26, 2012]
|
|
Eliminated Intel icc/icl compiler warnings. The Intel (GCC derived)
|
|
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.
|
|
Updated configure.ac from autoupdate: added --enable-werror option.
|
|
Also some layout regularization and removal of introduced tab characters
|
|
(replaced with 3-character indentation). Obsolete macros identified by
|
|
autoupdate have been removed; the replacements are all in 2.59 so
|
|
the pre-req hasn't been changed. --enable-werror checks for support
|
|
for -Werror (or the given argument) in the compiler. This mimics the
|
|
gcc configure option by allowing -Werror to be turned on safely; without
|
|
the option the tests written in configure itself fail compilation because
|
|
they cause compiler warnings.
|
|
Rewrote autogen.sh to run autoreconf instead of running tools one-by-one.
|
|
Conditionalize the install rules for MINGW and CYGWIN in CMakeLists.txt and
|
|
set CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY to "lib" on all platforms (C. Yapp).
