-Changes since the last public release (1.5.9):
-
- Removed two useless #ifdef directives from pngread.c and one from pngrutil.c
- Always put the CMAKE_LIBRARY in "lib" (removed special WIN32 case).
- Removed empty vstudio/pngstest directory (Clifford Yapp).
- Eliminated redundant png_push_read_tEXt|zTXt|iTXt|unknown code from
- pngpread.c and use the sequential png_handle_tEXt, etc., in pngrutil.c;
- now that png_ptr->buffer is inaccessible to applications, the special
- handling is no longer useful.
- Fixed bug with png_handle_hIST with odd chunk length (Frank Busse).
- Added PNG_SAFE_LIMITS feature to pnglibconf.dfa and code in pngconf.h
- to reset the user limits to safe ones if PNG_SAFE_LIMITS is defined.
- To enable, use "CPPFLAGS=-DPNG_SAFE_LIMITS_SUPPORTED" on the configure
- command or put "#define PNG_SAFE_LIMITS_SUPPORTED" in pnglibconf.h.
- Revised the SAFE_LIMITS feature to be the same as the feature in libpng16.
- Added information about the new limits in the manual.
- Updated Makefile.in
- Removed unused "current_text" members of png_struct and the png_free()
- of png_ptr->current_text from pngread.c
- Fixed PNG_LIBPNG_BUILD_BASE_TYPE definition.
- Fixed CMF optimization of non-IDAT compressed chunks, which was added at
- libpng-1.5.4. It sometimes produced too small of a window.
- Reject all iCCP chunks after the first, even if the first one is invalid.
- Added palette-index checking. Issue a png_benign_error() if an invalid
- index is found.
- Revised example.c to put text strings in a temporary character array
- instead of directly assigning string constants to png_textp members.
- This avoids compiler warnings when -Wwrite-strings is enabled.
- Prevent PNG_EXPAND+PNG_SHIFT doing the shift twice.
- Revised png_set_text_2() to avoid potential memory corruption (fixes
- CVE-2011-3048).

+Changes since the last public release (1.5.10):
+ Revised scripts/makefile.darwin: use system zlib; remove quotes around
+ architecture list; add missing ppc architecture; add architecture options
+ to shared library link; don't try to create a shared lib based on missing
+ RELEASE variable.
+ Enable png_set_check_for_invalid_index() for both read and write.
+ Removed #ifdef PNG_HANDLE_AS_UNKNOWN_SUPPORTED/#endif in pngpriv.h around
+ declaration of png_handle_unknown().
+ Added -lssp_nonshared in a comment in scripts/makefile.freebsd
+ and changed deprecated NOOBJ and NOPROFILE to NO_OBJ and NO_PROFILE.
+ Revised CMakeLists.txt to not attempt to make a symlink under mingw.
+ Added two images to contrib/pngsuite (1-bit and 2-bit transparent grayscale),
+ and renamed three whose names were inconsistent with those in
+ pngsuite/README.txt.
+ Do not depend upon a GCC feature macro being available for use in generating
+ the linker mapfile symbol prefix.
+ Made fixes for new optimization warnings from gcc 4.7.0. The compiler
+ performed an optimization which is safe but then warned about it.
+ Changing the type of 'palette_number' in pngvalid.c removes the warning.
+ Improved efficiency of new do_check_palette_indexes() function.
+ Don't check palette indexes if num_palette is 0 (as it can be in MNG files).
+ Include zlib.h in contrib/gregbook and contrib/visupng examples.
