-Changes since the last public release (1.6.16):
-
-  Removed duplicate PNG_SAFE_LIMITS_SUPPORTED handling from pngconf.h
-  Corrected the width limit calculation in png_check_IHDR().
-  Removed user limits from pngfix. Also pass NULL pointers to
-    png_read_row to skip the unnecessary row de-interlace stuff.
-  Added testing of png_set_packing() to pngvalid.c
-  Regenerated configure scripts in the *.tar distributions with libtool-2.4.4
-  Implement previously untested cases of libpng transforms in pngvalid.c
-  Fixed byte order in 2-byte filler, in png_do_read_filler().
-  Made the check for out-of-range values in png_set_tRNS() detect
-    values that are exactly 2^bit_depth, and work on 16-bit platforms.
-  Merged some parts of libpng-1.6.17beta01 and libpng-1.7.0beta47.
-  Added #ifndef __COVERITY__ where needed in png.c, pngrutil.c and
-    pngset.c to avoid warnings about dead code.
-  Do not build png_product2() when it is unused.
-  Display user limits in the output from pngtest.
-  Eliminated the PNG_SAFE_LIMITS macro and restored the 1-million-column
-    and 1-million-row default limits in pnglibconf.dfa, that can be reset
-    by the user at build time or run time.  This provides a more robust
-    defense against DOS and as-yet undiscovered overflows.
-  Added PNG_WRITE_CUSTOMIZE_COMPRESSION_SUPPORTED macro, on by default.
-  Allow user to call png_get_IHDR() with NULL arguments (Reuben Hawkins).
-  Rebuilt configure scripts with automake-1.15 and libtool-2.4.6
-  Moved png_set_filter() prototype into a PNG_WRITE_SUPPORTED block
-    of png.h.
-  Avoid runtime checks when converting integer to png_byte with
-    Visual Studio (Sergey Kosarevsky)
-  Removed some comments that the configure script did not handle
-    properly from scripts/pnglibconf.dfa and pnglibconf.h.prebuilt.
-  Free the unknown_chunks structure even when it contains no data.
-  Updated CMakeLists.txt to add OSX framework, change YES/NO to ON/OFF
-    for consistency, and remove some useless tests (Alexey Petruchik).
-  Remove pnglibconf.h, pnglibconf.c, pnglibconf.pre, pnglibconf.dfn,
-    and pnglibconf.out instead of pnglibconf.* in "make clean" (Cosmin).
-  Fixed simplified 8-bit-linear to sRGB alpha. The calculated alpha
-    value was wrong.  It's not clear if this affected the final stored
-    value; in the obvious code path the upper and lower 8-bits of the
-    alpha value were identical and the alpha was truncated to 8-bits
-    rather than dividing by 257 (John Bowler).
+Changes since the last public release (1.6.17):
+  Removed PNG_SET_CHUNK_[CACHE|MALLOC]_LIMIT_SUPPORTED macros.  They
+    have been combined with PNG_SET_USER_LIMITS_SUPPORTED (resolves
+    bug report by Andrew Church).
+  Fixed rgb_to_gray checks and added tRNS checks to pngvalid.c.  This
+    fixes some arithmetic errors that caused some tests to fail on
+    some 32-bit platforms (Bug reports by Peter Breitenlohner [i686]
+    and Petr Gajdos [i586]).
+  Suppressed some warnings from the Borland C++ 5.5.1/5.82 compiler
+    (Bug report by Viktor Szaka'ts).
+  Replaced "unexpected" with an integer (0xabadca11) in pngset.c
+    where a long was expected, to avoid a compiler warning when PNG_DEBUG > 1.
+  Added contrib/examples/simpleover.c, to demonstrate how to handle
+    alpha compositing of multiple images, using the "simplified API"
+    and an example PNG generation tool, contrib/examples/genpng.c
+    (John Bowler).
+  PNG_RELEASE_BUILD replaces tests where the code depended on the build base
+    type and can be defined on the command line, allowing testing in beta
+    builds (John Bowler).
+  Avoid Coverity issue 80858 (REVERSE NULL) in pngtest.c
+  Avoid a harmless potential integer overflow in png_XYZ_from_xy() (Bug
+    report from Christopher Ferris).
+  Backport filter selection code from libpng-1.7.0beta51, to combine
+    sub_row, up_row, avg_row, and paeth_row into try_row and tst_row.
+  Changed png_voidcast(), etc., to voidcast(), etc., in contrib/tools/pngfix.c
+    to avoid confusion with the libpng private macros.
+  Fixed old cut&paste bug in the weighted filter selection code in
+    pngwutil.c, introduced in libpng-0.95, March 1997.
+  Removed WRITE_WEIGHTED_FILTERED code, to save a few kbytes of the
+    compiled library size. It never worked properly and as far as we can
+    tell, no one uses it. The png_set_filter_heuristics() and
+    png_set_filter_heuristics_fixed() APIs are retained but deprecated
+    and do nothing.
+  Quieted some Coverity issues in pngfix.c, png-fix-itxt.c, pngvalid.c,
+    pngstest.c, and pngimage.c. Most seem harmless, but png-fix-itxt
+    would only work with iTXt chunks with length 255 or less.
+  Removed non-working progressive reader 'skip' function. This
+    function has apparently never been used. It was implemented
+    to support back-door modification of png_struct in libpng-1.4.x
+    but (because it does nothing and cannot do anything) was apparently
+    never tested (John Bowler).
+  Fixed cexcept.h in which GCC 5 now reports that one of the auto
+    variables in the Try macro needs to be volatile to prevent value
+    being lost over the setjmp (John Bowler).
+  Added #ifdef's to contrib/examples programs so people don't try
+    to compile them without the minimum required support enabled
+    (suggested by Flavio Medeiros).
+  Eliminated the final two Coverity defects (insecure temporary file
+    handling in contrib/libtests/pngstest.c; possible overflow of
+    unsigned char in contrib/tools/png-fix-itxt.c). To use the "secure"
+    file handling, define PNG_USE_MKSTEMP, otherwise "tmpfile()" will
+    be used.
+  Removed some unused WEIGHTED_FILTER macros from pngstruct.h
+  Replaced arbitrary use of 'extern' with #define PNG_LINKAGE_*.  To
+    preserve API compatibility, the new defines all default to "extern"
+    (requested by Jan Nijtmans).
+  Belatedly added Mans Rullgard and James Yu to the list of Contributing
+    Authors.

+  Removed some unused WEIGHTED_FILTER macros from png.h and pngstruct.h
+
+Version 1.6.18beta09 [July 5, 2015]
+  Removed some useless typecasts from contrib/tools/png-fix-itxt.c
+  Fixed a new signed-unsigned comparison in pngrtran.c (Max Stepin).

+ * Read several PNG files, which should have an alpha channel or transparency
+ * information, and composite them together to produce one or more 16-bit linear
+ * RGBA intermediates.  This involves doing the correct 'over' composition to
+ * combine the alpha channels and corresponding data.
+ *
+ * Finally read an output (background) PNG using the 24-bit RGB format (the
+ * PNG will be composited on green (#00ff00) by default if it has an alpha
+ * channel), and apply the intermediate image generated above to specified
+ * locations in the image.
+ *
+ * The command line has the general format:
+ *
+ *    simpleover <background.png> [output.png]
+ *        {--sprite=width,height,name {[--at=x,y] {sprite.png}}}
+ *        {--add=name {x,y}}
+ *
+ * The --sprite and --add options may occur multiple times. They are executed
+ * in order.  --add may refer to any sprite already read.
+ *
+ * This code is intended to show how to composite multiple images together
+ * correctly.  Apart from the libpng Simplified API the only work done in here
+ * is to combine multiple input PNG images into a single sprite; this involves
+ * a Porter-Duff 'over' operation and the input PNG images may, as a result,
+ * be regarded as being layered one on top of the other with the first (leftmost

+ * United States.
+ *
+ * Generate a PNG with an alpha channel, correctly.
+ *
+ * This is a test case generator; the resultant PNG files are only of interest
+ * to those of us who care about whether the edges of circles are green, red,
+ * or yellow.
+ *
+ * The program generates an RGB+Alpha PNG of a given size containing the given
+ * shapes on a transparent background:
+ *
+ *  genpng width height { shape }
+ *    shape ::= color width shape x1 y1 x2 y2
+ *
+ * 'color' is:
+ *
+ *  black white red green yellow blue brown purple pink orange gray cyan
+ *
+ * The point is to have colors that are linguistically meaningful plus that old
+ * bugbear of the department store dress murders, Cyan, the only color we argue
+ * about.
+ *
+ * 'shape' is:
+ *
+ *  circle: an ellipse
+ *  square: a rectangle
+ *  line: a straight line
+ *
+ * Each shape is followed by four numbers, these are two points in the output
+ * coordinate space (as real numbers) which describe the circle, square, or
+ * line.  The shape is filled if it is preceded by 'filled' (not valid for
+ * 'line') or is drawn with a line, in which case the width of the line must
+ * precede the shape.
+ *
+ * The whole set of information can be repeated as many times as desired:
+ *
+ *    shape ::= color width shape x1 y1 x2 y2
+ *
+ *    color ::= black|white|red|green|yellow|blue
+ *    color ::= brown|purple|pink|orange|gray|cyan
+ *    width ::= filled
+ *    width ::= <number>
+ *    shape ::= circle|square|line
+ *    x1    ::= <number>
+ *    x2    ::= <number>
+ *    y1    ::= <number>
+ *    y2    ::= <number>
+ *
+ * The output PNG is generated by down-sampling a 4x supersampled image using
+ * a bi-cubic filter.  The bi-cubic has a 2 (output) pixel width, so an 8x8
+ * array of super-sampled points contribute to each output pixel.  The value of
+ * a super-sampled point is found using an unfiltered, aliased, infinite
+ * precision image: Each shape from the last to the first is checked to see if
+ * the point is in the drawn area and, if it is, the color of the point is the
+ * color of the shape and the alpha is 1, if not the previous shape is checked.
+ *
+ * This is an aliased algorithm because no filtering is done; a point is either
+ * inside or outside each shape and 'close' points do not contribute to the
+ * sample.  The down-sampling is relied on to correct the error of not using
+ * a filter.
+ *
+ * The line end-caps are 'flat'; they go through the points.  The square line
+ * joins are mitres; the outside of the lines are continued to the point of
+ * intersection.

+/* IMPLEMENTATION NOTE:
+ *
+ * We want the contribution of each shape to the sample corresponding to each
+ * pixel.  This could be obtained by super sampling the image to infinite
+ * dimensions, finding each point within the shape and assigning that a value
+ * '1' while leaving every point outside the shape with value '0' then
+ * downsampling to the image size with sinc; computationally very expensive.
+ *
+ * Approximations are as follows:
+ *
+ * 1) If the pixel coordinate is within the shape assume the sample has the
+ *    shape color and is opaque, else assume there is no contribution from
+ *    the shape.
+ *
+ *    This is the equivalent of aliased rendering or resampling an image with
+ *    a block filter.  The maximum error in the calculated alpha (which will
+ *    always be 0 or 1) is 0.5.
+ *
+ * 2) If the shape is within a square of size 1x1 centered on the pixel assume
+ *    that the shape obscures an amount of the pixel equal to its area within
+ *    that square.
+ *
+ *    This is the equivalent of 'pixel coverage' alpha calculation or resampling
+ *    an image with a bi-linear filter.  The maximum error is over 0.2, but the
+ *    results are often acceptable.
+ *
+ *    This can be approximated by applying (1) to a super-sampled image then
+ *    downsampling with a bi-linear filter.  The error in the super-sampled
+ *    image is 0.5 per sample, but the resampling reduces this.
+ *
+ * 3) Use a better filter with a super-sampled image; in the limit this is the
+ *    sinc() approach.
+ *
+ * 4) Do the geometric calculation; a bivariate definite integral across the
+ *    shape, unfortunately this means evaluating Si(x), the integral of sinc(x),
+ *    which is still a lot of math.
+ *
+ * This code uses approach (3) with a bi-cubic filter and 8x super-sampling
+ * and method (1) for the super-samples.  This means that the sample is either
+ * 0 or 1, depending on whether the sub-pixel is within or outside the shape.
+ * The bi-cubic weights are also fixed and the 16 required weights are
+ * pre-computed here (note that the 'scale' setting will need to be changed if
+ * 'super' is increased).
+ *
+ * The code also calculates a sum to the edge of the filter. This is not
+ * currently used by could be used to optimize the calculation.
