| Changes since the last public release (1.5.13): |
| Added -DZ_SOLO to contrib/pngminim/*/makefile to work with zlib-1.2.7 |
| Warn about the incorrect runtime library setting for VS2010 debug DLL builds. |
| Fixed build when using #define PNG_NO_READ_GAMMA in png_do_compose() in |
| pngrtran.c (Domani Hannes). |
| Check for png_ptr==NULL earlier in png_zalloc(). |
| Ignore, with a warning, out-of-range value of num_trans in png_set_tRNS(). |
| Rearranged building of ARM NEON optimizations. The ARM specific code is |
| split out entirely to the arm subdirectory and changes to configure.ac and |
| Makefile.am to add new stuff are reduced. Now material code changes, |
| although for build test purposes, --enable-arm-neon now builds on non-ARM |
| systems. |
| Rebuilt Makefile.in, configure, etc., with autoconf-2.69 and automake-1.12.5. |
| Fixed cases of unquoted DESTDIR in Makefile.am |
| Fixed a minor bug in types to malloc and major bug in handling compressed |
| iTXt. Compressed iTXt could not be handled. |
| Cleaned up whitespace in the synopsis portion of the manpage "libpng.3" |
| Disassembled the version number in scripts/options.awk (necessary for |
| building on SunOs). |
| Fixed Windows build issues, enabled ARM compilation. Various warnings issued |
| by earlier versions of GCC fixed for Cygwin and Min/GW (which both use old |
| GCCs.) ARM support is enabled by default in zlib.props (unsupported by |
| Microsoft) and ARM compilation is made possible by deleting the check for |
| x86. The test programs cannot be run because they are not signed. |
| Fixed 'make distcheck' on SUN OS - libpng.so was not being removed |
| Replaced AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h) with AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([config.h]) |
| in configure.ac |
| De-configured build fixes to make a range of deconfiguration options (such |
| as switching off read or write support) work in more cases. Also upgraded |
| pngtest and pngvalid to the libpng 1.6 versions (with some modifications) |
| which provide more extensive testing. Replaced pngtest.png because pngtest |
| writes the ancillary chunks in a different order. |
| Check validity of "num_unknowns" parameter of png_set_unknown_chunks() |
| (Bug report from yuris). |
| Revised test for validity of "num_unknowns" to eliminate compiler warnings. |
| Check the validity of the "nentries" parameter of png_set_sPLT() and the |
| "num_text" parameter of png_set_text_2(). |
