-Version 1.6.15beta03 [November 3, 2014]
-  Added PNG_USE_ARM_NEON configuration flag (Marcin Juszkiewicz).
-
-Version 1.6.15beta04 [November 4, 2014]
-  Removed new PNG_USE_ARM_NEON configuration flag and made a one-line
-    revision to configure.ac to support ARM on aarch64 instead (John Bowler).
-
-Version 1.6.15beta05 [November 5, 2014]
-  Use png_get_libpng_ver(NULL) instead of PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING in
-    example.c, pngtest.c, and applications in the contrib directory.

     the same compiler does apparently generate the correct, in-range,
     numeric constant.  This adds appropriate, safe, casts to make the
     warnings go away.
-
-Version 1.6.15beta06 [November 6, 2014]
-  Reverted use png_get_libpng_ver(NULL) instead of PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING
-    in the manual, example.c, pngtest.c, and applications in the contrib
-    directory.  It was incorrect advice.
-
-Version 1.6.15beta07 [November 7, 2014]
   Removed #ifdef PNG_16BIT_SUPPORTED/#endif around png_product2(); it is
     needed by png_reciprocal2().
   Added #ifdef PNG_16BIT_SUPPORTED/#endif around png_log16bit() and
     png_do_swap().
   Changed all "#endif /* PNG_FEATURE_SUPPORTED */" to "#endif /* FEATURE */"

-Version 1.6.15rc01 [November 13, 2014]
-
-Version 1.6.15rc02 [November 14, 2014]
   The macros passed in the command line to Borland make were ignored if
     similarly-named macros were already defined in makefiles. This behavior
     is different from POSIX make and other make programs.  Surround the
     macro definitions with ifndef guards (Cosmin).
-
-Version 1.6.15rc03 [November 16, 2014]
   Added "-D_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS" to CFLAGS in scripts/makefile.vcwin32.
