version 1.2.34beta01 [November 27, 2008]

  Fixed string vs pointer-to-string error in png_check_keyword().
  Added png_check_cHRM_fixed() in png.c and moved checking from pngget.c,
    pngrutil.c, and pngwrite.c, and eliminated floating point cHRM checking.
  Added check for zero-area RGB cHRM triange in png_check_cHRM_fixed().
  In png_check_cHRM_fixed(), ensure white_y is > 0, and removed redundant
    check for all-zero coordinates that is detected by the triangle check.
  Revised png_warning() to write its message on standard output by default
    when warning_fn is NULL.
