Changes since the last public release (1.5.0):
version 1.5.1beta01 [January 8, 2011]
Added description of png_set_crc_action() to the manual.
Added a note in the manual that the type of the iCCP profile was changed
from png_charpp to png_bytepp in png_get_iCCP(). This change happened
in version 1.5.0beta36 but is not noted in the CHANGES. Similarly,
it was changed from png_charpp to png_const_bytepp in png_set_iCCP().
Ensure that png_rgb_to_gray ignores palette mapped images, if libpng
internally happens to call it with one.
Fixed the failure to handle palette mapped images correctly.
Version 1.5.1beta02 [January 14, 2011]
Fixed a bug in handling of interlaced images (bero at arklinux.org).
Updated CMakeLists.txt (Clifford Yapp)
Version 1.5.1beta03 [January 14, 2011]
Fixed typecasting of some png_debug() statements (Cosmin)
Version 1.5.1beta04 [January 16, 2011]
Updated documentation of png_set|get_tRNS() (Thomas Klausner).
Mentioned in the documentation that applications must #include "zlib.h"
if they need access to anything in zlib.h, and that a number of
macros such as png_memset() are no longer accessible by applications.
Corrected pngvalid gamma test "sample" function to access all of the color
samples of each pixel, instead of sampling the red channel three times.
Prefixed variable names index, div, exp, gamma with "png_" to avoid "shadow"
warnings.
Version 1.5.1beta05 [January 16, 2011]
Changed variable names png_index, png_div, png_exp, and png_gamma to
char_index, divisor, exp_b10, and gamma_val, respectively, and
changed exp() back to png_exp().
Version 1.5.1beta06 [January 20, 2011]
Prevent png_push_crc_skip() from hanging while reading an unknown chunk
or an over-large compressed zTXt chunk with the progressive reader.
Eliminated more GCC "shadow" warnings.
Revised png_fixed() in png.c to avoid compiler warning about reaching the
end without returning anything.
Version 1.5.1beta07 [January 22, 2011]
In the manual, describe the png_get_IHDR() arguments in the correct order.
Added const_png_structp and const_png_infop types, and used them in
prototypes for most png_get_*() functions.
Version 1.5.1beta08 [January 23, 2011]
Added png_get_io_chunk_type() and deprecated png_get_io_chunk_name()
Added synopses for the IO_STATE functions and other missing synopses
to the manual. Removed the synopses from libpngpf.3 because they
were out of date and no longer useful. Better information can be
obtained by reading the prototypes and comments in pngpriv.h
Attempted to fix cpp on Solaris with S. Studio 12 cc, fix build
Added a make macro DFNCPP that is a CPP that will accept the tokens in
a .dfn file and adds configure stuff to test for such a CPP. ./configure
should fail if one is not available.
Corrected const_png_ in png.h to png_const_ to avoid polluting the namespace.
Added png_get_current_row_number and png_get_current_pass_number for the
benefit of the user transform callback.
Added png_process_data_pause and png_process_data_skip for the benefit of
progressive readers that need to stop data processing or want to optimize
skipping of unread data (e.g. if the reader marks a chunk to be skipped.)
Version 1.5.1beta09 [January 24, 2011]
Enhanced pngvalid, corrected an error in gray_to_rgb, corrected doc error.
pngvalid contains tests of transforms, which tests are currently disabled
because they are incompletely tested. gray_to_rgb was failing to expand
the bit depth for smaller bit depth images; this seems to be a long
standing error and resulted, apparently, in invalid output. The
documentation did not accurately describe what libpng really does when
converting RGB to gray.
