Changes since the last public release (1.2.18):

version 1.2.19beta1 [May 18, 2007]

  Fixed png_do_expand() to only use the appropriate bits of tRNS value.

version 1.2.19beta3 [May 20, 2007]
  Add some "png_byte" typecasts in png_check_keyword().
  Write new_key instead of key in zTXt chunk.

version 1.2.19beta4 [May 21, 2007]
  Add png_snprintf() function and use it in place of sprint() for improved
    defense against buffer overflows.

version 1.2.19beta5 [May 21, 2007]
  Fixed png_handle_tRNS() to only use the appropriate bits of tRNS value.

version 1.2.19beta6 [May 22, 2007]

  Added a special "_MSC_VER" case that defines png_snprintf to _snprintf

version 1.2.19beta7 [May 22, 2007]
  Squelched png_squelch_warnings() in pnggccrd.c and added an
    #ifdef PNG_MMX_CODE_SUPPORTED block around the declarations that caused
    the warnings that png_squelch_warnings was squelching.

version 1.2.19beta8 [May 22, 2007]
  Removed __MMX__ from test in pngconf.h.

version 1.2.19beta9 [May 23, 2007]

  Resquelched png_squelch_warnings(), use "__attribute__((used))" instead.

  Return 0 from png_get_sPLT() and png_get_unknown_chunks() if png_ptr is NULL;

    unconditional.

version 1.2.19beta17 [June 20, 2007]
