-Changes since the last public release (1.5.17):
+Changes since the last public release (1.5.18):
- Delay calling png_init_filter_functions() until a row with nonzero filter
- is found.
- Changed tabs to 3 spaces in png_debug macros and changed '"%s"m'
- to '"%s" m' to improve portability among compilers.
- Added "-Wall" to CFLAGS in contrib/pngminim/*/makefile
- Conditionally compile some unused functions reported by -Wall in
- pngminim.
- Rebuilt configure scripts with automake-1.14.1 and autoconf-2.69
- in the tar distributions.
- Fixed 'unused' warnings and merged with libpng16 pngvalid.
- Various warnings revealed by configurations added to the tested
- configurations in libpng 1.6 need corresponding fixes in libpng 1.5.
- This takes the libpng 1.6 pngvalid.c and adds it back to libpng 1.5,
- however one write-only test is currently disabled because it does not
- work; possibly because of failures to reset or initialize the deflate
- stream correctly in write-only cases.
- Merged libpng-1.7 changes and created a single pngvalid.c
- Merged pngvalid and pngtest from libpng-1.5; made compressed chunks
- after IDAT work with the progressive read code (this is a minor and
- somewhat ugly fix-up; the proper fix is in 1.6).
- The 'make all-am' command no longer builds $(check_PROGRAMS), leading
- to a lack of checks on cross-builds such as ARM. Makefile.am also
- requires correct dependencies for the check programs on pnglibconf.h
- otherwise parallel builds on fast machines can sometimes pick up the
- system pnglibconf.h.
- Rebuilt configure scripts with automake 1.14.1 and autoconf-2.69.
- Require automake-1.13 and enable automake "subdirs" feature in autoconf.ac.
- Allow unversioned links created on install to be disabled in configure.
- In configure builds 'make install' changes/adds links like png.h
- and libpng.a to point to the newly installed, versioned, files (e.g.
- libpng17/png.h and libpng17.a). Three new configure options and some
- rearrangement of Makefile.am allow creation of these links to be disabled.
- Removed potentially misleading warning from png_check_IHDR().
- Updated scripts/makefile.* to use CPPFLAGS (Cosmin)
- Quiet an uninitialized memory warning from VC2013 in png_get_png().
+Version 1.5.19beta01 [February 6, 2014]
