Changes since the last public release (1.4.1):
Restored the macro definition of png_check_sig().
Conditionally compile an "else" statement in png_decompress_chunk().
Documented the fact that png_set_dither() was disabled since libpng-1.4.0.
Reenabled png_set_dither() but renamed it to png_set_quantize() to reflect
more accurately what it actually does. At the same time, renamed
the PNG_DITHER_[RED,GREEN_BLUE]_BITS macros to
PNG_QUANTIZE_[RED,GREEN,BLUE]_BITS.
Added some "(long)" typecasts to printf calls in png_handle_cHRM().
Relaxed the overly-restrictive permissions of some files.
Added the "vstudio" project to replace "visualc6" and "visualc71" which
will be removed from libpng-1.5.0.
Demonstrate in example.c that lang_key should be initialized.
Set PNG_NO_READ_BGR, PNG_NO_IO_STATE, and PNG_NO_TIME_RFC1123 in
contrib/pngminim/decoder/pngusr.h to make a smaller decoder application.
Include png_reset_zstream() in png.c only when PNG_READ_SUPPORTED is defined.
Removed dummy_inflate.c and uncompr.c from contrib/pngminim/encoder
Corrected PNG_UNKNOWN_CHUNKS_SUPPORTED to PNG_HANDLE_AS_UNKNOWN_SUPPORTED
in gregbook/readpng2.c
Corrected protection of png_get_user_transform_ptr. The API declaration in
png.h is removed if both READ and WRITE USER_TRANSFORM are turned off
but was left defined in pngtrans.c
Moved declarations of umsg[] inside the proper #ifdef blocks in pngrutil.c
