version 1.0.55 [July 9, 2011]

  Fixed uninitialized memory read in png_format_buffer() (Bug
    report by Frank Busse, related to CVE-2004-0421).

  Check for up->location !PNG_AFTER_IDAT when writing unknown chunks
    before IDAT.
  Ported bugfix in pngrtran.c from 1.5.3: when expanding a paletted image,
    always expand to RGBA if transparency is present.
  Check for integer overflow in png_set_rgb_to_gray().
  Check for sCAL chunk too short.
  Added CMakeLists.txt, projects/xcode, and pnggccrd.c to EXTRA_DIST in
    Makefile.am and Makefile.in
  Udated copyright year to 2011.
