+Changes from version 1.6.43 to version 1.6.44
---------------------------------------------
- * Fixed the row width check in png_check_IHDR().
- This corrected a bug that was specific to the 16-bit platforms,
- and removed a spurious compiler warning from the 64-bit builds.
- (Reported by Jacek Caban; fixed by John Bowler)
- * Added eXIf chunk support to the push-mode reader in pngpread.c.
- (Contributed by Chris Blume)
- * Added contrib/pngexif for the benefit of the users who would like
- to inspect the content of eXIf chunks.
- * Added contrib/conftest/basic.dfa, a basic build-time configuration.
+ * Hardened calculations in chroma handling to prevent overflows, and
+ relaxed a constraint in cHRM validation to accomodate the standard
+ ACES AP1 set of color primaries.
(Contributed by John Bowler)
- * Fixed a preprocessor condition in pngread.c that broke build-time
- configurations like contrib/conftest/pngcp.dfa.
- (Contributed by John Bowler)
- * Added CMake build support for LoongArch LSX.
- (Contributed by GuXiWei)
- * Fixed a CMake build error that occurred under a peculiar state of the
- dependency tree. This was a regression introduced in libpng-1.6.41.
- (Contributed by Dan Rosser)
- * Marked the installed libpng headers as system headers in CMake.
- (Contributed by Benjamin Buch)
- * Updated the build support for RISCOS.
- (Contributed by Cameron Cawley)
- * Updated the makefiles to allow cross-platform builds to initialize
- conventional make variables like AR and ARFLAGS.
- * Added various improvements to the CI scripts in areas like version
- consistency verification and text linting.
- * Added version consistency verification to pngtest.c also.
+ * Removed the ASM implementation of ARM Neon optimizations and updated
+ the build accordingly. Only the remaining C implementation shall be
+ used from now on, thus ensuring the support of the PAC/BTI security
+ features on ARM64.
+ (Contributed by Ross Burton and John Bowler)
+ * Fixed the pickup of the PNG_HARDWARE_OPTIMIZATIONS option in the
+ CMake build on FreeBSD/amd64. This is an important performance fix
+ on this platform.
+ * Applied various fixes and improvements to the CMake build.
+ (Contributed by Eric Riff, Benjamin Buch and Erik Scholz)
+ * Added fuzzing targets for the simplified read API.
+ (Contributed by Mikhail Khachayants)
+ * Fixed a build error involving pngtest.c under a custom config.
+ This was a regression introduced in a code cleanup in libpng-1.6.43.
+ (Contributed by Ben Wagner)
