92 Version 0.88 [January, 1996]
93 fixed progressive bugs
94 replaced tabs with spaces
95 cleaned up documentation
96 added callbacks for read/write and warning/error functions
98 Version 0.89 [June 5, 1996]
99 Added new initialization API to make libpng work better with shared libs
100 we now have png_create_read_struct(), png_create_write_struct(),
101 png_create_info_struct(), png_destroy_read_struct(), and
102 png_destroy_write_struct() instead of the separate calls to
103 malloc and png_read_init(), png_info_init(), and png_write_init()
104 Changed warning/error callback functions to fix bug - this means you
105 should use the new initialization API if you were using the old
106 png_set_message_fn() calls, and that the old API no longer exists
107 so that people are aware that they need to change their code
108 Changed filter selection API to allow selection of multiple filters
109 since it didn't work in previous versions of libpng anyways
110 Optimized filter selection code
111 Fixed png_set_background() to allow using an arbitrary RGB color for
113 Fixed gamma and background correction for paletted images, so
114 png_correct_palette is not needed unless you are correcting an
115 external palette (you will need to #define PNG_CORRECT_PALETTE_SUPPORTED
116 in pngconf.h) - if nobody uses this, it may disappear in the future.
117 Fixed bug with Borland 64K memory allocation (Alexander Lehmann)
118 Fixed bug in interlace handling (Smarasderagd, I think)
119 Added more error checking for writing and image to reduce invalid files
120 Separated read and write functions so that they won't both be linked
121 into a binary when only reading or writing functionality is used
122 New pngtest image also has interlacing and zTXt
123 Updated documentation to reflect new API
125 Version 0.89c [June 17, 1996]
128 Version 0.90 [January, 1997]
129 Made CRC errors/warnings on critical and ancillary chunks configurable
130 libpng will use the zlib CRC routines by (compile-time) default
131 Changed DOS small/medium model memory support - needs zlib 1.04 (Tim Wegner)
132 Added external C++ wrapper statements to png.h (Gilles Dauphin)
133 Allow PNG file to be read when some or all of file signature has already
134 been read from the beginning of the stream. ****This affects the size
135 of info_struct and invalidates all programs that use a shared libpng****
136 Fixed png_filler() declarations
137 Fixed? background color conversions
138 Fixed order of error function pointers to match documentation
139 Current chunk name is now available in png_struct to reduce the number
140 of nearly identical error messages (will simplify multi-lingual
141 support when available)
142 Try to get ready for unknown-chunk callback functions:
143 - previously read critical chunks are flagged, so the chunk handling
144 routines can determine if the chunk is in the right place
145 - all chunk handling routines have the same prototypes, so we will
146 be able to handle all chunks via a callback mechanism
147 Try to fix Linux "setjmp" buffer size problems
148 Removed png_large_malloc, png_large_free, and png_realloc functions.
150 Version 0.95 [March, 1997]
151 Fixed bug in pngwutil.c allocating "up_row" twice and "avg_row" never
152 Fixed bug in PNG file signature compares when start != 0
153 Changed parameter type of png_set_filler(...filler...) from png_byte
155 Added test for MACOS to ensure that both math.h and fp.h are not #included
156 Added macros for libpng to be compiled as a Windows DLL (Andreas Kupries)
157 Added "packswap" transformation, which changes the endianness of
158 packed-pixel bytes (Kevin Bracey)
159 Added "strip_alpha" transformation, which removes the alpha channel of
160 input images without using it (not necessarily a good idea)
161 Added "swap_alpha" transformation, which puts the alpha channel in front
162 of the color bytes instead of after
163 Removed all implicit variable tests which assume NULL == 0 (I think)
164 Changed several variables to "png_size_t" to show 16/32-bit limitations
165 Added new pCAL chunk read/write support
166 Added experimental filter selection weighting (Greg Roelofs)
167 Removed old png_set_rgbx() and png_set_xrgb() functions that have been
168 obsolete for about 2 years now (use png_set_filler() instead)
169 Added macros to read 16- and 32-bit ints directly from buffer, to be
170 used only on those systems that support it (namely PowerPC and 680x0)
171 With some testing, this may become the default for MACOS/PPC systems.
172 Only calculate CRC on data if we are going to use it
173 Added macros for zTXt compression type PNG_zTXt_COMPRESSION_???
174 Added macros for simple libpng debugging output selectable at compile time
175 Removed PNG_READ_END_MODE in progressive reader (Smarasderagd)
176 More description of info_struct in libpng.txt and png.h
177 More instructions in example.c
178 More chunk types tested in pngtest.c
179 Renamed pngrcb.c to pngset.c, and all png_read_<chunk> functions to be
180 png_set_<chunk>. We now have corresponding png_get_<chunk>
181 functions in pngget.c to get information in info_ptr. This isolates
182 the application from the internal organization of png_info_struct
183 (good for shared library implementations).
185 Version 0.96 [May, 1997]
186 Fixed serious bug with < 8bpp images introduced in 0.95

204 Minor corrections in libpng.txt
205 Added simple sRGB support (Glenn R-P)
206 Easier conditional compiling, e.g.,

209 of having to edit pngconf.h (Glenn R-P)
210 Fixed memory leak in pngwrite.c (free info_ptr->text) (Glenn R-P)
211 Added more conditions for png_do_background, to avoid changing
212 black pixels to background when a background is supplied and
213 no pixels are transparent
214 Repaired PNG_NO_STDIO behavior
215 Tested NODIV support and made it default behavior (Greg Roelofs)
216 Added "-m" option and PNGTEST_DEBUG_MEMORY to pngtest (John Bowler)

227 screen_gamma, viewing_gamma, and display_gamma.
228 Changed all references to RFC1152 to read RFC1123 and changed the
229 PNG_TIME_RFC1152_SUPPORTED macro to PNG_TIME_RFC1123_SUPPORTED
230 Added png_invert_alpha capability (Glenn R-P -- suggestion by Jon Vincent)
231 Changed srgb_intent from png_byte to int to avoid compiler bugs
233 Version 0.99 [January 30, 1998]
234 Free info_ptr->text instead of end_info_ptr->text in pngread.c (John Bowler)
235 Fixed a longstanding "packswap" bug in pngtrans.c
236 Fixed some inconsistencies in pngconf.h that prevented compiling with
237 PNG_READ_GAMMA_SUPPORTED and PNG_READ_hIST_SUPPORTED undefined
238 Fixed some typos and made other minor rearrangement of libpng.txt (Andreas)
239 Changed recommendation about file_gamma for PC images to .50 from .51 in
240 example.c and libpng.txt, and changed file_gamma for sRGB images to .45
241 Added a number of functions to access information from the png structure

391 added warnings when people try to set png_read_fn and png_write_fn in
393 Added a test such that png_do_gamma will be done when num_trans==0

395 error that was introduced in libpng-0.90 that can cause gamma processing
397 Added tests in png.h to include "trans" and "trans_values" in structures
398 when PNG_READ_BACKGROUND_SUPPORTED or PNG_READ_EXPAND_SUPPORTED is defined.

419 passes that it should skip, for images that are less than 3 pixels high.
420 Interchanged the order of calls to png_do_swap() and png_do_shift()
421 in pngwtran.c (John Cromer).

557 Added code in pngwrite.c to free info_ptr->text[i].key to stop a memory leak.
559 Version 1.0.5b [November 23, 1999]
560 Moved PNG_FLAG_HAVE_CHUNK_HEADER, PNG_FLAG_BACKGROUND_IS_GRAY and

570 accommodate making DLL's: Moved usr_png_ver from global variable to function
571 png_get_header_ver() in png.c. Moved png_sig to png_sig_bytes in png.c and
572 eliminated use of png_sig in pngwutil.c. Moved the various png_CHNK arrays
573 into pngtypes.h. Eliminated use of global png_pass arrays. Declared the
574 png_CHNK and png_pass arrays to be "const". Made the global arrays
575 available to applications (although none are used in libpng itself) when

581 Version 1.0.5d [November 29, 1999]
582 Add type cast (png_const_charp) two places in png.c
583 Eliminated pngtypes.h; use macros instead to declare PNG_CHNK arrays.
584 Renamed "PNG_GLOBAL_ARRAYS" to "PNG_USE_GLOBAL_ARRAYS" and made available
585 to applications a macro "PNG_USE_LOCAL_ARRAYS".
586 comment out (with #ifdef) all the new declarations when
587 PNG_USE_GLOBAL_ARRAYS is defined.
588 Added PNG_EXPORT_VAR macro to accommodate making DLL's.
590 Version 1.0.5e [November 30, 1999]
591 Added iCCP, iTXt, and sPLT support; added "lang" member to the png_text
592 structure; refactored the inflate/deflate support to make adding new chunks
593 with trailing compressed parts easier in the future, and added new functions
594 png_free_iCCP, png_free_pCAL, png_free_sPLT, png_free_text, png_get_iCCP,
595 png_get_spalettes, png_set_iCCP, png_set_spalettes (Eric S. Raymond).
596 NOTE: Applications that write text chunks MUST define png_text->lang
597 before calling png_set_text(). It must be set to NULL if you want to
598 write tEXt or zTXt chunks. If you want your application to be able to
599 run with older versions of libpng, use
601 #ifdef PNG_iTXt_SUPPORTED
602 png_text[i].lang = NULL;
605 Changed png_get_oFFs() and png_set_oFFs() to use signed rather than unsigned
606 offsets (Eric S. Raymond).
607 Combined PNG_READ_cHNK_SUPPORTED and PNG_WRITE_cHNK_SUPPORTED macros into
608 PNG_cHNK_SUPPORTED and combined the three types of PNG_text_SUPPORTED
609 macros, leaving the separate macros also available.
610 Removed comments on #endifs at the end of many short, non-nested #if-blocks.
612 Version 1.0.5f [December 6, 1999]
613 Changed makefile.solaris to issue a warning about potential problems when
614 the ucb "ld" is in the path ahead of the ccs "ld".
615 Removed "- [date]" from the "synopsis" line in libpng.3 and libpngpf.3.
616 Added sCAL chunk support (Eric S. Raymond).
618 Version 1.0.5g [December 7, 1999]
619 Fixed "png_free_spallettes" typo in png.h
620 Added code to handle new chunks in pngpread.c
621 Moved PNG_CHNK string macro definitions outside of PNG_NO_EXTERN block
622 Added "translated_key" to png_text structure and png_write_iTXt().
623 Added code in pngwrite.c to work around a newly discovered zlib bug.
625 Version 1.0.5h [December 10, 1999]
626 NOTE: regarding the note for version 1.0.5e, the following must also
627 be included in your code:
628 png_text[i].translated_key = NULL;
629 Unknown chunk handling is now supported.
630 Option to eliminate all floating point support was added. Some new
631 fixed-point functions such as png_set_gAMA_fixed() were added.
632 Expanded tabs and removed trailing blanks in source files.
634 Version 1.0.5i [December 13, 1999]

639 Added a test for up->location != 0 in the first instance of writing
640 unknown chunks in pngwrite.c
641 Changed "num" to "i" in png_free_spalettes() and png_free_unknowns() to
643 Added png_free_hIST() function.
644 Various patches to fix bugs in the sCAL and integer cHRM processing,
645 and to add some convenience macros for use with sCAL.
647 Version 1.0.5j [December 21, 1999]
648 Changed "unit" parameter of png_write_sCAL from png_byte to int, to work
649 around buggy compilers.
650 Added new type "png_fixed_point" for integers that hold float*100000 values
651 Restored backward compatibility of tEXt/zTXt chunk processing:
652 Restored the first four members of png_text to the same order as v.1.0.5d.
653 Added members "lang_key" and "itxt_length" to png_text struct. Set
654 text_length=0 when "text" contains iTXt data. Use the "compression"
655 member to distinguish among tEXt/zTXt/iTXt types. Added
656 PNG_ITXT_COMPRESSION_NONE (1) and PNG_ITXT_COMPRESSION_zTXt(2) macros.
657 The "Note" above, about backward incompatibility of libpng-1.0.5e, no
659 Fixed png_read|write_iTXt() to read|write parameters in the right order,
660 and to write the iTXt chunk after IDAT if it appears in the end_ptr.
661 Added pnggccrd.c, version of pngvcrd.c Intel assembler for gcc (Greg Roelofs)
662 Reversed the order of trying to write floating-point and fixed-point gAMA.
664 Version 1.0.5k [December 27, 1999]
665 Added many parentheses, e.g., "if (a && b & c)" becomes "if (a && (b & c))"
666 Added png_handle_as_unknown() function (Glenn)
667 Added png_free_chunk_list() function and chunk_list and num_chunk_list members
669 Eliminated erroneous warnings about multiple sPLT chunks and sPLT-after-PLTE.
670 Fixed a libpng-1.0.5h bug in pngrutil.c that was issuing erroneous warnings
671 about ignoring incorrect gAMA with sRGB (gAMA was in fact not ignored)
672 Added png_free_tRNS(); png_set_tRNS() now malloc's its own trans array (ESR).
673 Define png_get_int_32 when oFFs chunk is supported as well as when pCAL is.
674 Changed type of proflen from png_int_32 to png_uint_32 in png_get_iCCP().
676 Version 1.0.5l [January 1, 2000]
677 Added functions png_set_read_user_chunk_fn() and png_get_user_chunk_ptr()
678 for setting a callback function to handle unknown chunks and for
679 retrieving the associated user pointer (Glenn).
681 Version 1.0.5m [January 7, 2000]
682 Added high-level functions png_read_png(), png_write_png(), png_free_pixels().
684 Version 1.0.5n [January 9, 2000]
685 Added png_free_PLTE() function, and modified png_set_PLTE() to malloc its
686 own memory for info_ptr->palette. This makes it safe for the calling
687 application to free its copy of the palette any time after it calls
690 Version 1.0.5o [January 20, 2000]
691 Cosmetic changes only (removed some trailing blanks and TABs)

703 Version 1.0.5r [February 7, 2000]
704 Removed superfluous prototype for png_get_itxt from png.h
705 Fixed a bug in pngrtran.c that improperly expanded the background color.
706 Return *num_text=0 from png_get_text() when appropriate, and fix documentation
707 of png_get_text() in libpng.txt/libpng.3.
709 Version 1.0.5s [February 18, 2000]
710 Added "png_jmp_env()" macro to pngconf.h, to help people migrate to the
711 new error handler that's planned for the next libpng release, and changed
712 example.c, pngtest.c, and contrib programs to use this macro.
713 Revised some of the DLL-export macros in pngconf.h (Greg Roelofs)
714 Fixed a bug in png_read_png() that caused it to fail to expand some images
715 that it should have expanded.
716 Fixed some mistakes in the unused and undocumented INCH_CONVERSIONS functions
718 Changed the allocation of palette, history, and trans arrays back to
719 the version 1.0.5 method (linking instead of copying) which restores
720 backward compatibility with version 1.0.5. Added some remarks about
721 that in example.c. Added "free_me" member to info_ptr and png_ptr
722 and added png_free_data() function.
723 Updated makefile.linux and makefile.gccmmx to make directories conditionally.
724 Made cosmetic changes to pngasmrd.h
725 Added png_set_rows() and png_get_rows(), for use with png_read|write_png().
726 Modified png_read_png() to allocate info_ptr->row_pointers only if it
727 hasn't already been allocated.
729 Version 1.0.5t [March 4, 2000]
730 Changed png_jmp_env() migration aiding macro to png_jmpbuf().
731 Fixed "interlace" typo (should be "interlaced") in contrib/gregbook/read2-x.c
732 Fixed bug with use of PNG_BEFORE_IHDR bit in png_ptr->mode, introduced when
733 PNG_FLAG_HAVE_CHUNK_HEADER was moved into png_ptr->mode in version 1.0.5b
734 Files in contrib/gregbook were revised to use png_jmpbuf() and to select
735 a 24-bit visual if one is available, and to allow abbreviated options.
736 Files in contrib/pngminus were revised to use the png_jmpbuf() macro.
737 Removed spaces in makefile.linux and makefile.gcmmx, introduced in 1.0.5s
739 Version 1.0.5u [March 5, 2000]
740 Simplified the code that detects old png.h in png.c and pngtest.c
741 Renamed png_spalette (_p, _pp) to png_sPLT_t (_tp, _tpp)
742 Increased precision of rgb_to_gray calculations from 8 to 15 bits and
743 added png_set_rgb_to_gray_fixed() function.
744 Added makefile.bc32 (32-bit Borland C++, C mode)
746 Version 1.0.5v [March 11, 2000]
747 Added some parentheses to the png_jmpbuf macro definition.
748 Updated references to the zlib home page, which has moved to freesoftware.com.
749 Corrected bugs in documentation regarding png_read_row() and png_write_row().

756 Added makefile.sggcc (SGI IRIX with gcc)
758 Version 1.0.6d [April 7, 2000]
759 Changed sprintf() to strcpy() in png_write_sCAL_s() to work without STDIO
760 Added data_length parameter to png_decompress_chunk() function
761 Revised documentation to remove reference to abandoned png_free_chnk functions
762 Fixed an error in png_rgb_to_gray_fixed()

765 Added a check for info_ptr->free_me&PNG_FREE_TEXT when freeing text in png.c
766 Simplify png_sig_bytes() function to remove use of non-ISO-C strdup().
768 Version 1.0.6e [April 9, 2000]
769 Added png_data_freer() function.
770 In the code that checks for over-length tRNS chunks, added check of
771 info_ptr->num_trans as well as png_ptr->num_trans (Matthias Benckmann)
772 Minor revisions of libpng.txt/libpng.3.
773 Check for existing data and free it if the free_me flag is set, in png_set_*()
775 Only define PNG_WEIGHTED_FILTERS_SUPPORTED when PNG_FLOATING_POINT_SUPPORTED
777 Changed several instances of PNG_NO_CONSOLE_ID to PNG_NO_STDIO in pngrutil.c
778 and mentioned the purposes of the two macros in libpng.txt/libpng.3.
780 Version 1.0.6f [April 14, 2000]
781 Revised png_set_iCCP() and png_set_rows() to avoid prematurely freeing data.
782 Add checks in png_set_text() for NULL members of the input text structure.
783 Revised libpng.txt/libpng.3.
784 Removed superfluous prototype for png_set_iTXt from png.h
785 Removed "else" from pngread.c, after png_error(), and changed "0" to "length".
786 Changed several png_errors about malformed ancillary chunks to png_warnings.
788 Version 1.0.6g [April 24, 2000]
789 Added png_pass-* arrays to pnggccrd.c when PNG_USE_LOCAL_ARRAYS is defined.
790 Relocated paragraph about png_set_background() in libpng.3/libpng.txt
791 and other revisions (Matthias Benckmann)
792 Relocated info_ptr->free_me, png_ptr->free_me, and other info_ptr and
793 png_ptr members to restore binary compatibility with libpng-1.0.5
794 (breaks compatibility with libpng-1.0.6).
796 Version 1.0.6h [April 24, 2000]
797 Changed shared library so-number pattern from 2.x.y.z to xy.z (this builds
798 libpng.so.10 & libpng.so.10.6h instead of libpng.so.2 & libpng.so.2.1.0.6h)
799 This is a temporary change for test purposes.
801 Version 1.0.6i [May 2, 2000]
802 Rearranged some members at the end of png_info and png_struct, to put
803 unknown_chunks_num and free_me within the original size of the png_structs
804 and free_me, png_read_user_fn, and png_free_fn within the original png_info,
805 because some old applications allocate the structs directly instead of
806 using png_create_*().
807 Added documentation of user memory functions in libpng.txt/libpng.3
808 Modified png_read_png so that it will use user_allocated row_pointers
809 if present, unless free_me directs that it be freed, and added description
810 of the use of png_set_rows() and png_get_rows() in libpng.txt/libpng.3.
811 Added PNG_LEGACY_SUPPORTED macro, and #ifdef out all new (since version
812 1.00) members of png_struct and png_info, to regain binary compatibility
813 when you define this macro. Capabilities lost in this event
814 are user transforms (new in version 1.0.0),the user transform pointer
815 (new in version 1.0.2), rgb_to_gray (new in 1.0.5), iCCP, sCAL, sPLT,
816 the high-level interface, and unknown chunks support (all new in 1.0.6).
817 This was necessary because of old applications that allocate the structs
818 directly as authors were instructed to do in libpng-0.88 and earlier,
819 instead of using png_create_*().
820 Added modes PNG_CREATED_READ_STRUCT and PNG_CREATED_WRITE_STRUCT which
821 can be used to detect codes that directly allocate the structs, and
822 code to check these modes in png_read_init() and png_write_init() and
823 generate a libpng error if the modes aren't set and PNG_LEGACY_SUPPORTED
825 Added makefile.intel and updated makefile.watcom (Pawel Mrochen)
827 Version 1.0.6j [May 3, 2000]
828 Overloaded png_read_init() and png_write_init() with macros that convert
829 calls to png_read_init_2() or png_write_init_2() that check the version
832 Version 1.0.7beta11 [May 7, 2000]
833 Removed the new PNG_CREATED_READ_STRUCT and PNG_CREATED_WRITE_STRUCT modes
834 which are no longer used.
835 Eliminated the three new members of png_text when PNG_LEGACY_SUPPORTED is
836 defined or when neither PNG_READ_iTXt_SUPPORTED nor PNG_WRITE_iTXT_SUPPORTED
838 Made PNG_NO_READ|WRITE_iTXt the default setting, to avoid memory
839 overrun when old applications fill the info_ptr->text structure directly.
840 Added PNGAPI macro, and added it to the definitions of all exported functions.
841 Relocated version macro definitions ahead of the includes of zlib.h and
844 Version 1.0.7beta12 [May 12, 2000]
845 Revised pngset.c to avoid a problem with expanding the png_debug macro.
846 Deleted some extraneous defines from pngconf.h
847 Made PNG_NO_CONSOLE_IO the default condition when PNG_BUILD_DLL is defined.
848 Use MSC _RPTn debugging instead of fprintf if _MSC_VER is defined.
849 Added png_access_version_number() function.
850 Check for mask&PNG_FREE_CHNK (for TEXT, SCAL, PCAL) in png_free_data().
851 Expanded libpng.3/libpng.txt information about png_data_freer().
853 Version 1.0.7beta14 [May 17, 2000] (beta13 was not published)
854 Changed pnggccrd.c and pngvcrd.c to handle bad adaptive filter types as
855 warnings instead of errors, as pngrutil.c does.
856 Set the PNG_INFO_IDAT valid flag in png_set_rows() so png_write_png()

2509 so that only PNG_EXPORT functions are exported.
2510 Removed the deprecated png_check_sig() function/macro.
2511 Removed recently removed function names from scripts/*.def
2512 Revised pngtest.png to put chunks in the same order written by pngtest
2513 (evidently the same change made in libpng-1.0beta54 was lost).
2514 Added PNG_PRIVATE macro definition in pngconf.h for possible future use.
2516 Version 1.4.0beta97 [November 13, 2009]
2517 Restored pngtest.png to the libpng-1.4.0beta7 version.
2518 Removed projects/beos and netware.txt; no one seems to be supporting them.
2521 Version 1.4.0beta98 [November 13, 2009]
2522 Added the "xcode" project to zip distributions,
2523 Fixed a typo in scripts/pngwin.def introduced in beta97.
2525 Version 1.4.0beta99 [November 14, 2009]
2526 Moved libpng-config.in and libpng.pc-configure.in out of the scripts
2527 directory, to libpng-config.in and libpng-pc.in, respectively, and
2528 modified Makefile.am and configure.ac accordingly. Now "configure"
2529 needs nothing from the "scripts" directory.
2530 Avoid redefining PNG_CONST in pngconf.h
2532 Version 1.4.0beta100 [November 14, 2009]
2533 Removed ASM builds from projects/visualc6 and projects/visualc71

2535 Revised CMakeLists.txt to account for new location of libpng-config.in
2537 Updated INSTALL to reflect removal and relocation of files.
2539 Version 1.4.0beta101 [November 14, 2009]
2540 Restored the binary files (*.jpg, *.png, some project files) that were
2541 accidentally deleted from the zip and 7z distributions when the xcode
2544 Version 1.4.0beta102 [November 18, 2009]
2545 Added libpng-config.in and libpng-pc.in to the zip and 7z distributions.
2546 Fixed a typo in projects/visualc6/pngtest.dsp, introduced in beta100.
2547 Moved descriptions of makefiles and other scripts out of INSTALL into
2549 Updated the copyright year in scripts/pngwin.rc from 2006 to 2009.
2551 Version 1.4.0beta103 [November 21, 2009]
2552 Removed obsolete comments about ASM from projects/visualc71/README_zlib.txt
2553 Align row_buf on 16-byte boundary in memory.
2554 Restored the PNG_WRITE_FLUSH_AFTER_IEND_SUPPORTED guard around the call
2555 to png_flush() after png_write_IEND(). See 1.4.0beta32, 1.4.0beta50
2556 changes above and 1.2.30, 1.2.30rc01 and rc03 in 1.2.41 CHANGES. Someone
2558 Make the 'png_jmpbuf' macro expand to a call that records the correct
2559 longjmp function as well as returning a pointer to the setjmp
2560 jmp_buf buffer, and marked direct access to jmpbuf 'deprecated'.
2563 Version 1.4.0beta104 [November 22, 2009]
2564 Removed png_longjmp_ptr from scripts/*.def and libpng.3
2565 Rebuilt configure scripts with autoconf-2.65
2567 Version 1.4.0beta105 [November 25, 2009]
2568 Use fast integer PNG_DIVIDE_BY_255() or PNG_DIVIDE_BY_65535()
2569 to accomplish alpha premultiplication when
2570 PNG_READ_COMPOSITE_NODIV_SUPPORTED is defined.
2571 Changed "/255" to "/255.0" in background calculations to make it clear
2572 that the 255 is used as a double.
2574 Version 1.4.0beta106 [November 27, 2009]
2575 Removed premultiplied alpha feature.
2577 Version 1.4.0beta107 [December 4, 2009]
2579 Added "#define PNG_NO_PEDANTIC_WARNINGS" in the libpng source files.
2580 Removed "-DPNG_CONFIGURE_LIBPNG" from the makefiles and projects.
2581 Revised scripts/makefile.netbsd, makefile.openbsd, and makefile.sco
2582 to put png.h and pngconf.h in $prefix/include, like the other scripts,
2583 instead of in $prefix/include/libpng. Also revised makefile.sco
2584 to put them in $prefix/include/libpng15 instead of in
2585 $prefix/include/libpng/libpng15.
2587 Version 1.4.0beta108 [December 11, 2009]
2588 Removed leftover "-DPNG_CONFIGURE_LIBPNG" from contrib/pngminim/*/makefile
2589 Relocated png_do_chop() to its original position in pngrtran.c; the
2590 change in version 1.2.41beta08 caused transparency to be handled wrong
2591 in some 16-bit datastreams (Yusaku Sugai).
2593 Version 1.4.0beta109 [December 13, 2009]
2594 Added "bit_depth" parameter to the private png_build_gamma_table() function.
2595 Pass bit_depth=8 to png_build_gamma_table() when bit_depth is 16 but the
2596 PNG_16_TO_8 transform has been set, to avoid unnecessary build of 16-bit
2599 Version 1.4.0rc02 [December 20, 2009]
2600 Declared png_cleanup_needed "volatile" in pngread.c and pngwrite.c
2602 Version 1.4.0rc03 [December 22, 2009]
2603 Renamed libpng-pc.in back to libpng.pc.in and revised CMakeLists.txt

2606 Version 1.4.0rc04 [December 25, 2009]
2607 Swapped PNG_UNKNOWN_CHUNKS_SUPPORTED and PNG_HANDLE_AS_UNKNOWN_SUPPORTED
2608 in pngset.c to be consistent with other changes in version 1.2.38.
2610 Version 1.4.0rc05 [December 25, 2009]
2611 Changed "libpng-pc.in" to "libpng.pc.in" in configure.ac, configure, and
2612 Makefile.in to be consistent with changes in libpng-1.4.0rc03
2614 Version 1.4.0rc06 [December 29, 2009]
2615 Reverted the gamma_table changes from libpng-1.4.0beta109.
2616 Fixed some indentation errors.
2618 Version 1.4.0rc07 [January 1, 2010]
2619 Revised libpng*.txt and libpng.3 about 1.2.x->1.4.x differences.
2620 Use png_calloc() instead of png_malloc(); png_memset() in pngrutil.c
2621 Update copyright year to 2010.
2623 Version 1.4.0rc08 [January 2, 2010]
2624 Avoid deprecated references to png_ptr-io_ptr and png_ptr->error_ptr
2627 Version 1.4.0 [January 3, 2010]
2630 Version 1.4.1beta01 [January 8, 2010]
2631 Updated CMakeLists.txt for consistent indentation and to avoid an
2632 unclosed if-statement warning (Philip Lowman).
2633 Revised Makefile.am and Makefile.in to remove references to Y2KINFO,
2634 KNOWNBUG, and libpng.la (Robert Schwebel).
2635 Revised the makefiles to install the same files and symbolic
2636 links as configure, except for libpng.la and libpng14.la.
2637 Make png_set|get_compression_buffer_size() available even when
2638 PNG_WRITE_SUPPORTED is not enabled.
2639 Revised Makefile.am and Makefile.in to simplify their maintenance.
2640 Revised scripts/makefile.linux to install a link to libpng14.so.14.1
2642 Version 1.4.1beta02 [January 9, 2010]
2643 Revised the rest of the makefiles to install a link to libpng14.so.14.1
2645 Version 1.4.1beta03 [January 10, 2010]
2646 Removed png_set_premultiply_alpha() from scripts/*.def
2648 Version 1.4.1rc01 [January 16, 2010]
2651 Version 1.4.1beta04 [January 23, 2010]
2652 Revised png_decompress_chunk() to improve speed and memory usage when
2653 decoding large chunks.
2654 Added png_set|get_chunk_malloc_max() functions.
2656 Version 1.4.1beta05 [January 26, 2010]
2657 Relocated "int k" declaration in pngtest.c to minimize its scope.
2659 Version 1.4.1beta06 [January 28, 2010]
2660 Revised png_decompress_chunk() to use a two-pass method suggested by
2663 Version 1.4.1beta07 [February 6, 2010]
2664 Folded some long lines in the source files.
2665 Added defineable PNG_USER_CHUNK_CACHE_MAX, PNG_USER_CHUNK_MALLOC_MAX,
2666 and a PNG_USER_LIMITS_SUPPORTED flag.
2667 Eliminated use of png_ptr->irowbytes and reused the slot in png_ptr as
2668 png_ptr->png_user_chunk_malloc_max.
2669 Revised png_push_save_buffer() to do fewer but larger png_malloc() calls.
2671 Version 1.4.1beta08 [February 6, 2010]
2672 Minor cleanup and updating of dates and copyright year.
2674 Version 1.5.0beta01 [February 7, 2010]
2675 Moved declaration of png_struct into private pngstruct.h and png_info
2678 Version 1.4.1beta09 and 1.5.0beta02 [February 7, 2010]
2679 Reverted to original png_push_save_buffer() code.
2681 Version 1.4.1beta10 and 1.5.0beta03 [February 8, 2010]
2682 Return allocated "old_buffer" in png_push_save_buffer() before
2683 calling png_error(), to avoid a potential memory leak.
2684 Updated configure script to use SO number 15.
2686 Version 1.5.0beta04 [February 9, 2010]
2687 Removed malformed "incomplete struct declaration" of png_info from png.h
2689 Version 1.5.0beta05 [February 12, 2010]
2690 Removed PNG_DEPSTRUCT markup in pngstruct.h and pnginfo.h, and undid the
2691 linewrapping that it entailed.
2692 Revised comments in pngstruct.h and pnginfo.h and added pointers to
2694 Changed PNG_INTERNAL to PNG_EXPOSE_INTERNAL_STRUCTURES
2695 Removed the cbuilder5 project, which has not been updated to 1.4.0.
2697 Version 1.4.1beta12 and 1.5.0beta06 [February 14, 2010]
2698 Fixed type declaration of png_get_chunk_malloc_max() in pngget.c (Daisuke
2701 Version 1.5.0beta07 [omitted]
2703 Version 1.5.0beta08 [February 19, 2010]
2704 Changed #ifdef PNG_NO_STDIO_SUPPORTED to #ifdef PNG_NO_CONSOLE_IO_SUPPORTED
2705 wherever png_snprintf() is used to construct error and warning messages.
2706 Noted in scripts/makefile.mingw that it expects to be run under MSYS.
2707 Removed obsolete unused MMX-querying support from contrib/gregbook
2708 Added exported png_longjmp() function.
2709 Removed the AIX redefinition of jmpbuf in png.h
2710 Added -D_ALLSOURCE in configure.ac, makefile.aix, and CMakeLists.txt
2711 when building on AIX.
2713 Version 1.5.0beta09 [February 19, 2010]
2714 Removed -D_ALLSOURCE from configure.ac, makefile.aix, and CMakeLists.txt.
2715 Changed the name of png_ptr->jmpbuf to png_ptr->png_jmpbuf in pngstruct.h
2717 Version 1.5.0beta10 [February 25, 2010]
2718 Removed unused gzio.c from contrib/pngminim gather and makefile scripts
2719 Removed replacement error handlers from contrib/gregbook. Because of
2720 the new png_longjmp() function they are no longer needed.
2722 Version 1.5.0beta11 [March 6, 2010]
2723 Removed checking for already-included setjmp.h from pngconf.h
2724 Fixed inconsistent indentations and made numerous cosmetic changes.
2725 Revised the "SEE ALSO" style of libpng.3, libpngpf.3, and png.5
2727 Version 1.5.0beta12 [March 9, 2010]
2728 Moved "#include png.h" inside pngpriv.h and removed "#include png.h" from
2729 the source files, along with "#define PNG_EXPOSE_INTERNAL_STRUCTURES"
2730 and "#define PNG_NO_PEDANTIC_WARNINGS" (John Bowler).
2731 Created new pngdebug.h and moved debug definitions there.
2733 Version 1.5.0beta13 [March 10, 2010]
2734 Protect pngstruct.h, pnginfo.h, and pngdebug.h from being included twice.
2735 Revise the "#ifdef" blocks in png_inflate() so it will compile when neither
2736 PNG_USER_CHUNK_MALLOC_MAX nor PNG_SET_CHUNK_MALLOC_LIMIT_SUPPORTED
2738 Removed unused png_measure_compressed_chunk() from pngpriv.h and libpngpf.3
2739 Moved the 'config.h' support from pngconf.h to pngpriv.h
2740 Removed PNGAPI from the png_longjmp_ptr typedef.
2741 Eliminated dependence of pngtest.c on the private pngdebug.h file.
2742 Make all png_debug macros into *unterminated* statements or
2743 expressions (i.e. a trailing ';' must always be added) and correct
2744 the format statements in various png_debug messages.
2746 Version 1.5.0beta14 [March 14, 2010]
2747 Removed direct access to png_ptr->io_ptr from the Windows code in pngtest.c
2748 Revised Makefile.am to account for recent additions and replacements.
2749 Corrected CE and OS/2 DEF files (scripts/png*def) for symbols removed and
2750 added ordinal numbers to the Windows DEF file and corrected the duplicated
2751 ordinal numbers on CE symbols that are commented out.
2752 Added back in export symbols that can be present in the Windows build but
2753 are disabled by default.
2754 PNG_EXPORT changed to include an 'ordinal' field for DEF file generation.
2755 PNG_CALLBACK added to make callback definitions uniform. PNGAPI split
2756 into PNGCAPI (base C form), PNGAPI (exports) and PNGCBAPI (callbacks),
2757 and appropriate changes made to all files. Cygwin builds re-hinged to
2758 allow procedure call standard changes and to remove the need for the DEF
2759 file (fixes build on Cygwin).
2760 Enabled 'attribute' warnings that are relevant to library APIs and callbacks.
2761 Changed rules for generation of the various symbol files and added a new
2762 rule for a DEF file (which is also added to the distribution).
2763 Updated the symbol file generation to stop it adding spurious spaces
2764 to EOL (coming from preprocessor macro expansion). Added a facility
2765 to join tokens in the output and rewrite *.dfn to use this.
2766 Eliminated scripts/*.def in favor of libpng.def; updated projects/visualc71
2767 and removed scripts/makefile.cygwin.
2768 Made PNG_BUILD_DLL safe: it can be set whenever a DLL is being built.
2769 Removed the include of sys/types.h - apparently unnecessary now on the
2770 platforms on which it happened (all but Mac OS and RISC OS).
2771 Moved the Mac OS test into pngpriv.h (the only place it is used.)
2773 Version 1.5.0beta15 [March 17, 2010]
2774 Added symbols.chk target to Makefile.am to validate the symbols in png.h
2775 against the new DEF file scripts/symbols.def.
2776 Changed the default DEF file back to pngwin.def.
2777 Removed makefile.mingw.
2778 Eliminated PNG_NO_EXTERN and PNG_ALL_EXTERN
2780 Version 1.5.0beta16 [April 1, 2010]
2781 Make png_text_struct independent of PNG_iTXt_SUPPORTED, so that
2782 fields are initialized in all configurations. The READ/WRITE
2783 macros (PNG_(READ|WRITE)_iTXt_SUPPORTED) still function as
2784 before to disable code to actually read or write iTXt chunks
2785 and iTXt_SUPPORTED can be used to detect presence of either
2786 read or write support (but it is probably better to check for
2787 the one actually required - read or write.)
2788 Combined multiple png_warning() calls for a single error.
2789 Restored the macro definition of png_check_sig().
2791 Version 1.5.0beta17 [April 17, 2010]
2792 Added some "(long)" typecasts to printf calls in png_handle_cHRM().
2793 Documented the fact that png_set_dither() was disabled since libpng-1.4.0.
2794 Reenabled png_set_dither() but renamed it to png_set_quantize() to reflect
2795 more accurately what it actually does. At the same time, renamed
2796 the PNG_DITHER_[RED,GREEN_BLUE]_BITS macros to
2797 PNG_QUANTIZE_[RED,GREEN,BLUE]_BITS.
2798 Added some "(long)" typecasts to printf calls in png_handle_cHRM().
2799 Freeze build-time only configuration in the build.
2800 In all prior versions of libpng most configuration options
2801 controlled by compiler #defines had to be repeated by the
2802 application code that used libpng. This patch changes this
2803 so that compilation options that can only be changed at build
2804 time are frozen in the build. Options that are compiler
2805 dependent (and those that are system dependent) are evaluated
2806 each time - pngconf.h holds these. Options that can be changed
2807 per-file in the application are in png.h. Frozen options are
2808 in the new installed header file pnglibconf.h (John Bowler)
2809 Removed the xcode project because it has not been updated to work
2811 Removed the ability to include optional pngusr.h
2813 Version 1.5.0beta18 [April 17, 2010]
2814 Restored the ability to include optional pngusr.h
2815 Moved replacements for png_error() and png_warning() from the
2816 contrib/pngminim project to pngerror.c, for use when warnings or
2817 errors are disabled via PNG_NO_WARN or PNG_NO_ERROR_TEXT, to avoid
2818 storing unneeded error/warning text.
2819 Updated contrib/pngminim project to work with the new pnglibconf.h
2820 Added some PNG_NO_* defines to contrib/pngminim/*/pngusr.h to save space.
2822 Version 1.5.0beta19 [April 24, 2010]
2823 Added PNG_{READ,WRITE}_INT_FUNCTIONS_SUPPORTED. This allows the functions
2824 to read and write ints to be disabled independently of PNG_USE_READ_MACROS,
2825 which allows libpng to be built with the functions even though the default
2826 is to use the macros - this allows applications to choose at app build
2827 time whether or not to use macros (previously impossible because the
2828 functions weren't in the default build.)
2829 Changed Windows calling convention back to __cdecl for API functions.
2830 For Windows/x86 platforms only:
2831 __stdcall is no longer needed for Visual Basic, so libpng-1.5.0 uses
2832 __cdecl throughout (both API functions and callbacks) on Windows/x86
2834 Replaced visualc6 and visualc71 projects with new vstudio project
2835 Relaxed the overly-restrictive permissions of some files.
2837 Version 1.5.0beta20 [April 24, 2010]
2838 Relaxed more overly-restrictive permissions of some files.
2840 Version 1.5.0beta21 [April 27, 2010]
2841 Removed some unwanted binary bytes and changed CRLF to NEWLINE in the new
2842 vstudio project files, and some trivial editing of some files in the
2844 Set PNG_NO_READ_BGR, PNG_NO_IO_STATE, and PNG_NO_TIME_RFC1123 in
2845 contrib/pngminim/decoder/pngusr.h to make a smaller decoder application.
2847 Version 1.5.0beta22 [April 28, 2010]
2848 Fixed dependencies of GET_INT_32 - it does not require READ_INT_FUNCTIONS
2849 because it has a macro equivalent.
2850 Improved the options.awk script; added an "everything off" option.
2851 Revised contrib/pngminim to use the "everything off" option in pngusr.dfa.
2853 Version 1.5.0beta23 [April 29, 2010]
2854 Corrected PNG_REMOVED macro to take five arguments.
2855 The macro was documented with two arguments (name,ordinal), however
2856 the symbol checking .dfn files assumed five arguments. The five
2857 argument form seems more useful so it is changed to that.
2858 Corrected PNG_UNKNOWN_CHUNKS_SUPPORTED to PNG_HANDLE_AS_UNKNOWN_SUPPORTED
2859 in gregbook/readpng2.c
2860 Corrected protection of png_get_user_transform_ptr. The API declaration in
2861 png.h is removed if both READ and WRITE USER_TRANSFORM are turned off
2862 but was left defined in pngtrans.c
2863 Added logunsupported=1 to cause pnglibconf.h to document disabled options.
2864 This makes the installed pnglibconf.h more readable but causes no
2865 other change. The intention is that users of libpng will find it
2866 easier to understand if an API they need is missing.
2867 Include png_reset_zstream() in png.c only when PNG_READ_SUPPORTED is defined.
2868 Removed dummy_inflate.c from contrib/pngminim/encoder
2869 Removed contrib/pngminim/*/gather.sh; gathering is now done in the makefile.
2871 Version 1.5.0beta24 [May 7, 2010]
2872 Use bitwise "&" instead of arithmetic mod in pngrutil.c calculation of the
2873 offset of the png_ptr->rowbuf pointer into png_ptr->big_row_buf.
2874 Added more blank lines for readability.
2876 Version 1.5.0beta25 [June 18, 2010]
2877 In pngpread.c: png_push_have_row() add check for new_row > height
2878 Removed the now-redundant check for out-of-bounds new_row from example.c
2880 Version 1.5.0beta26 [June 18, 2010]
2881 In pngpread.c: png_push_process_row() add check for too many rows.
2883 Version 1.5.0beta27 [June 18, 2010]
2884 Removed the check added in beta25 as it is now redundant.
2886 Version 1.5.0beta28 [June 20, 2010]
2887 Rewrote png_process_IDAT_data to consistently treat extra data as warnings
2888 and handle end conditions more cleanly.
2889 Removed the new (beta26) check in png_push_process_row().
2891 Version 1.5.0beta29 [June 21, 2010]
2892 Revised scripts/options.awk to work on Sunos (but still doesn't work)
2893 Added comment to options.awk and contrib/pngminim/*/makefile to try nawk.
2895 Version 1.5.0beta30 [June 22, 2010]
2896 Stop memory leak when reading a malformed sCAL chunk.
2898 Version 1.5.0beta31 [June 26, 2010]
2899 Revised pngpread.c patch of beta28 to avoid an endless loop.
2900 Removed some trailing blanks.
2902 Version 1.5.0beta32 [June 26, 2010]
2903 Removed leftover scripts/options.patch and scripts/options.rej
2905 Version 1.5.0beta33 [July 6, 3010]
2906 Made FIXED and FLOATING options consistent in the APIs they enable and
2907 disable. Corrected scripts/options.awk to handle both command line
2908 options and options specified in the .dfa files.
2909 Changed char *msg to PNG_CONST char *msg in pngrutil.c
2910 Make png_set_sRGB_gAMA_and_cHRM set values using either the fixed or
2911 floating point APIs, but not both.
2912 Reversed patch to remove error handler when the jmp_buf is stored in the
2913 main program structure, not the png_struct.
2914 The error handler is needed because the default handler in libpng will
2915 always use the jmp_buf in the library control structure; this is never
2916 set. The gregbook code is a useful example because, even though it
2917 uses setjmp/longjmp, it shows how error handling can be implemented
2918 using control mechanisms not directly supported by libpng. The
2919 technique will work correctly with mechanisms such as Microsoft
2920 Structure Exceptions or C++ exceptions (compiler willing - note that gcc
2921 does not by default support interworking of C and C++ error handling.)
2922 Reverted changes to call png_longjmp in contrib/gregbook where it is not
2923 appropriate. If mainprog->jmpbuf is used by setjmp, then png_longjmp
2925 Changed "extern PNG_EXPORT" to "PNG_EXPORT" in png.h (Jan Nijtmans)
2926 Changed "extern" to "PNG_EXTERN" in pngpriv.h (except for the 'extern "C" {')
2928 Version 1.5.0beta34 [July 12, 2010]
2929 Put #ifndef PNG_EXTERN, #endif around the define PNG_EXTERN in pngpriv.h
2931 Version 1.5.0beta35 [July 24, 2010]
2932 Removed some newly-added TAB characters.
2933 Added -DNO_PNG_SNPRINTF to CFLAGS in scripts/makefile.dj2
2934 Moved the definition of png_snprintf() outside of the enclosing
2935 #ifdef blocks in pngconf.h
2937 Version 1.5.0beta36 [July 29, 2010]
2938 Patches by John Bowler:
2939 Fixed point APIs are now supported throughout (no missing APIs).
2940 Internal fixed point arithmetic support exists for all internal floating
2942 sCAL validates the floating point strings it is passed.
2943 Safe, albeit rudimentary, Watcom support is provided by PNG_API_RULE==2
2944 Two new APIs exist to get the number of passes without turning on the
2945 PNG_INTERLACE transform and to get the number of rows in the current
2947 A new test program, pngvalid.c, validates the gamma code.
2948 Errors in the 16-bit gamma correction (overflows) have been corrected.
2949 cHRM chunk testing is done consistently (previously the floating point
2950 API bypassed it, because the test really didn't work on FP, now the test
2951 is performed on the actual values to be stored in the PNG file so it
2952 works in the FP case too.)
2953 Most floating point APIs now simply call the fixed point APIs after
2954 converting the values to the fixed point form used in the PNG file.
2955 The standard headers no longer include zlib.h, which is currently only
2956 required for pngstruct.h and can therefore be internal.
2957 Revised png_get_int_32 to undo the PNG two's complement representation of
2960 Version 1.5.0beta37 [July 30, 2010]
2961 Added a typecast in png_get_int_32() in png.h and pngrutil.h to avoid
2963 Replaced oFFs 0,0 with oFFs -10,20 in pngtest.png
2965 Version 1.5.0beta38 [July 31, 2010]
2966 Implemented remaining "_fixed" functions.
2967 Corrected a number of recently introduced warnings mostly resulting from
2968 safe but uncast assignments to shorter integers. Also added a zlib
2969 VStudio release library project because the latest zlib Official Windows
2970 build does not include such a thing.
2971 Revised png_get_int_16() to be similar to png_get_int_32().
2972 Restored projects/visualc71.
2974 Version 1.5.0beta39 [August 2, 2010]
2975 VisualC/GCC warning fixes, VisualC build fixes
2976 The changes include support for function attributes in VC in addition to
2977 those already present in GCC - necessary because without these some
2978 warnings are unavoidable. Fixes include signed/unsigned fixes in
2979 pngvalid and checks with gcc -Wall -Wextra -Wunused.
2980 VC requires function attributes on function definitions as well as
2981 declarations, PNG_FUNCTION has been added to enable this and the
2982 relevant function definitions changed.
2984 Version 1.5.0beta40 [August 6, 2010]
2985 Correct use of _WINDOWS_ in pngconf.h
2986 Removed png_mem_ #defines; they are no longer used.
2987 Added the sRGB chunk to pngtest.png
2989 Version 1.5.0beta41 [August 11, 2010]
2990 Added the cHRM chunk to pngtest.png
2991 Don't try to use version-script with cygwin/mingw.
2992 Revised contrib/gregbook to work under cygwin/mingw.
2994 Version 1.5.0beta42 [August 18, 2010]
2995 Add .dll.a to the list of extensions to be symlinked by Makefile.am (Yaakov)
2996 Made all API functions that have const arguments and constant string
2997 literal pointers declare them (John Bowler).
2999 Version 1.5.0beta43 [August 20, 2010]
3000 Removed spurious tabs, shorten long lines (no source change)
3001 Also added scripts/chkfmt to validate the format of all the files that can
3002 reasonably be validated (it is suggested to run "make distclean" before
3003 checking, because some machine generated files have long lines.)
3004 Reformatted the CHANGES file to be more consistent throughout.
3005 Made changes to address various issues identified by GCC, mostly
3006 signed/unsigned and shortening problems on assignment but also a few
3007 difficult to optimize (for GCC) loops.
3008 Fixed non-GCC fixed point builds. In png.c a declaration was misplaced
3009 in an earlier update. Fixed to declare the auto variables at the head.
3010 Use cexcept.h in pngvalid.c.
3012 Version 1.5.0beta44 [August 24, 2010]
3013 Updated CMakeLists.txt to use CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR variable; useful for
3014 installing libpng in /usr/lib64 (Funda Wang).
3015 Revised CMakeLists.txt to put the man pages in share/man/man* not man/man*
3016 Revised CMakeLists.txt to make symlinks instead of copies when installing.
3017 Changed PNG_LIB_NAME from pngNN to libpngNN in CMakeLists.txt (Philip Lowman)
3018 Implemented memory checks within pngvalid
3019 Reformatted/rearranged pngvalid.c to assist use of progressive reader.
3020 Check interlaced images in pngvalid
3021 Clarified pngusr.h comments in pnglibconf.dfa
3022 Simplified the pngvalid error-handling code now that cexcept.h is in place.
3023 Implemented progressive reader in pngvalid.c for standard tests
3024 Implemented progressive read in pngvalid.c gamma tests
3025 Turn on progressive reader in pngvalid.c by default and tidy code.
3027 Version 1.5.0beta45 [August 26, 2010]
3028 Added an explicit make step to projects/vstudio for pnglibconf.h
3029 Also corrected zlib.vcxproj into which Visual Studio had introduced
3030 what it calls an "authoring error". The change to make pnglibconf.h
3031 simply copies the file; in the future it may actually generate the
3032 file from scripts/pnglibconf.dfa as the other build systems do.
3033 Changed pngvalid to work when floating point APIs are disabled
3034 Renamed the prebuilt scripts/pnglibconf.h to scripts/pnglibconf.h.prebuilt
3035 Supply default values for PNG_USER_PRIVATEBUILD and PNG_USER_DLLFNAME_POSTFIX
3036 in pngpriv.h in case the user neglected to define them in their pngusr.h
3038 Version 1.5.0beta46 [August 28, 2010]
3039 Added new private header files to libpng_sources in CMakeLists.txt
3040 Added PNG_READ_16BIT, PNG_WRITE_16BIT, and PNG_16BIT options.
3041 Added reference to scripts/pnglibconf.h.prebuilt in the visualc71 project.
3043 Version 1.5.0beta47 [September 11, 2010]
3044 Fixed a number of problems with 64-bit compilation reported by Visual
3045 Studio 2010 (John Bowler).
3047 Version 1.5.0beta48 [October 4, 2010]
3048 Updated CMakeLists.txt (Philip Lowman).
3049 Revised autogen.sh to recognize and use $AUTOCONF, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOHEADER,
3050 $AUTOPOINT, $ACLOCAL and $LIBTOOLIZE
3051 Fixed problem with symbols creation in Makefile.am which was assuming that
3052 all versions of ccp write to standard output by default (Martin Banky). The
3053 bug was introduced in libpng-1.2.9beta5.
3054 Removed unused mkinstalldirs.
3056 Version 1.5.0beta49 [October 8, 2010]
3057 Undid Makefile.am revision of 1.5.0beta48.
3059 Version 1.5.0beta50 [October 14, 2010]
3060 Revised Makefile.in to account for mkinstalldirs being removed.
3061 Added some "(unsigned long)" typecasts in printf statements in pngvalid.c.
3062 Suppressed a compiler warning in png_handle_sPLT().
3063 Check for out-of-range text compression mode in png_set_text().
3065 Version 1.5.0beta51 [October 15, 2010]
3066 Changed embedded dates to "(PENDING RELEASE) in beta releases (and future
3067 rc releases) to minimize the difference between releases.
3069 Version 1.5.0beta52 [October 16, 2010]
3070 Restored some of the embedded dates (in png.h, png.c, documentation, etc.)
3072 Version 1.5.0beta53 [October 18, 2010]
3073 Updated INSTALL to mention using "make maintainer-clean" and to remove
3074 obsolete statement about a custom ltmain.sh
3075 Disabled "color-tests" by default in Makefile.am so it will work with
3076 automake versions earlier than 1.11.1
3077 Use document name "libpng-manual.txt" instead of "libpng-<version>.txt"
3078 to simplify version differences.
3079 Removed obsolete remarks about setjmp handling from INSTALL.
3080 Revised and renamed the typedef in png.h and png.c that was designed
3081 to catch library and header mismatch.
3083 Version 1.5.0beta54 [November 10, 2010]
3084 Require 48 bytes, not 64 bytes, for big_row_buf in overflow checks.
3085 Used a consistent structure for the pngget.c functions.
3087 Version 1.5.0beta55 [November 21, 2010]
3088 Revised png_get_uint_32, png_get_int_32, png_get_uint_16 (Cosmin)
3089 Moved reading of file signature into png_read_sig (Cosmin)
3090 Fixed atomicity of chunk header serialization (Cosmin)
3091 Added test for io_state in pngtest.c (Cosmin)
3092 Added "#!/bin/sh" at the top of contrib/pngminim/*/gather.sh scripts.
3093 Changes to remove gcc warnings (John Bowler)
3094 Certain optional gcc warning flags resulted in warnings in libpng code.
3095 With these changes only -Wconversion and -Wcast-qual cannot be turned on.
3096 Changes are trivial rearrangements of code. -Wconversion is not possible
3097 for pngrutil.c (because of the widespread use of += et al on variables
3098 smaller than (int) or (unsigned int)) and -Wcast-qual is not possible
3099 with pngwio.c and pngwutil.c because the 'write' callback and zlib
3100 compression both fail to declare their input buffers with 'const'.
3102 Version 1.5.0beta56 [December 7, 2010]
3103 Added the private PNG_UNUSED() macro definition in pngpriv.h.
3104 Added some commentary about PNG_EXPORT in png.h and pngconf.h
3105 Revised PNG_EXPORT() macro and added PNG_EXPORTA() macro, with the
3106 objective of simplifying and improving the cosmetic appearance of png.h.
3107 Fixed some incorrect "=" macro names in pnglibconf.dfa
3108 Included documentation of changes in 1.5.0 from 1.4.x in libpng-manual.txt
3110 Version 1.5.0beta57 [December 9, 2010]
3111 Documented the pngvalid gamma error summary with additional comments and
3113 Improved missing symbol handling in checksym.awk; symbols missing in both
3114 the old and new files can now be optionally ignored, treated as errors
3116 Removed references to pngvcrd.c and pnggccrd.c from the vstudio project.
3117 Updated "libpng14" to "libpng15" in the visualc71 project.
3118 Enabled the strip16 tests in pngvalid.`
3119 Don't display test results (except PASS/FAIL) when running "make test".
3120 Instead put them in pngtest-log.txt
3121 Added "--with-zprefix=<string>" to configure.ac
3122 Updated the prebuilt configuration files to autoconf version 2.68
3124 Version 1.5.0beta58 [December 19, 2010]
3125 Fixed interlace image handling and add test cases (John Bowler)
3126 Fixed the clean rule in Makefile.am to remove pngtest-log.txt
3127 Made minor changes to work around warnings in gcc 3.4
3129 Version 1.5.0rc01 [December 27, 2010]
3132 Version 1.5.0rc02 [December 27, 2010]
3133 Eliminated references to the scripts/*.def files in project/visualc71.
3135 Version 1.5.0rc03 [December 28, 2010]
3136 Eliminated scripts/*.def and revised Makefile.am accordingly
3138 Version 1.5.0rc04 [December 29, 2010]
3139 Fixed bug in background transformation handling in pngrtran.c (it was
3140 looking for the flag in png_ptr->transformations instead of in
3141 png_ptr->flags) (David Raymond).
3143 Version 1.5.0rc05 [December 31, 2010]
3144 Fixed typo in a comment in CMakeLists.txt (libpng14 => libpng15) (Cosmin)
3146 Version 1.5.0rc06 [January 4, 2011]
3147 Changed the new configure option "zprefix=string" to "zlib-prefix=string"
3149 Version 1.5.0rc07 [January 4, 2011]
3150 Updated copyright year.
3152 Version 1.5.0 [January 6, 2011]
3155 version 1.5.1beta01 [January 8, 2011]
3156 Added description of png_set_crc_action() to the manual.
3157 Added a note in the manual that the type of the iCCP profile was changed
3158 from png_charpp to png_bytepp in png_get_iCCP(). This change happened
3159 in version 1.5.0beta36 but is not noted in the CHANGES. Similarly,
3160 it was changed from png_charpp to png_const_bytepp in png_set_iCCP().
3161 Ensure that png_rgb_to_gray ignores palette mapped images, if libpng
3162 internally happens to call it with one, and fixed a failure to handle
3163 palette mapped images correctly. This fixes CVE-2690.
3165 Version 1.5.1beta02 [January 14, 2011]
3166 Fixed a bug in handling of interlaced images (bero at arklinux.org).
3167 Updated CMakeLists.txt (Clifford Yapp)
3169 Version 1.5.1beta03 [January 14, 2011]
3170 Fixed typecasting of some png_debug() statements (Cosmin)
3172 Version 1.5.1beta04 [January 16, 2011]
3173 Updated documentation of png_set|get_tRNS() (Thomas Klausner).
3174 Mentioned in the documentation that applications must #include "zlib.h"
3175 if they need access to anything in zlib.h, and that a number of
3176 macros such as png_memset() are no longer accessible by applications.
3177 Corrected pngvalid gamma test "sample" function to access all of the color
3178 samples of each pixel, instead of sampling the red channel three times.
3179 Prefixed variable names index, div, exp, gamma with "png_" to avoid "shadow"
3180 warnings, and (mistakenly) changed png_exp() to exp().
3182 Version 1.5.1beta05 [January 16, 2011]
3183 Changed variable names png_index, png_div, png_exp, and png_gamma to
3184 char_index, divisor, exp_b10, and gamma_val, respectively, and
3185 changed exp() back to png_exp().
3187 Version 1.5.1beta06 [January 20, 2011]
3188 Prevent png_push_crc_skip() from hanging while reading an unknown chunk
3189 or an over-large compressed zTXt chunk with the progressive reader.
3190 Eliminated more GCC "shadow" warnings.
3191 Revised png_fixed() in png.c to avoid compiler warning about reaching the
3192 end without returning anything.
3194 Version 1.5.1beta07 [January 22, 2011]
3195 In the manual, describe the png_get_IHDR() arguments in the correct order.
3196 Added const_png_structp and const_png_infop types, and used them in
3197 prototypes for most png_get_*() functions.
3199 Version 1.5.1beta08 [January 23, 2011]
3200 Added png_get_io_chunk_type() and deprecated png_get_io_chunk_name()
3201 Added synopses for the IO_STATE functions and other missing synopses
3202 to the manual. Removed the synopses from libpngpf.3 because they
3203 were out of date and no longer useful. Better information can be
3204 obtained by reading the prototypes and comments in pngpriv.h
3205 Attempted to fix cpp on Solaris with S. Studio 12 cc, fix build
3206 Added a make macro DFNCPP that is a CPP that will accept the tokens in
3207 a .dfn file and adds configure stuff to test for such a CPP. ./configure
3208 should fail if one is not available.
3209 Corrected const_png_ in png.h to png_const_ to avoid polluting the namespace.
3210 Added png_get_current_row_number and png_get_current_pass_number for the
3211 benefit of the user transform callback.
3212 Added png_process_data_pause and png_process_data_skip for the benefit of
3213 progressive readers that need to stop data processing or want to optimize
3214 skipping of unread data (e.g., if the reader marks a chunk to be skipped.)
3216 Version 1.5.1beta09 [January 24, 2011]
3217 Enhanced pngvalid, corrected an error in gray_to_rgb, corrected doc error.
3218 pngvalid contains tests of transforms, which tests are currently disabled
3219 because they are incompletely tested. gray_to_rgb was failing to expand
3220 the bit depth for smaller bit depth images; this seems to be a long
3221 standing error and resulted, apparently, in invalid output
3222 (CVE-2011-0408, CERT VU#643140). The documentation did not accurately
3223 describe what libpng really does when converting RGB to gray.
3225 Version 1.5.1beta10 [January 27, 2010]
3226 Fixed incorrect examples of callback prototypes in the manual, that were
3227 introduced in libpng-1.0.0.
3228 In addition the order of the png_get_uint macros with respect to the
3229 relevant function definitions has been reversed. This helps the
3230 preprocessing of the symbol files be more robust. Furthermore, the
3231 symbol file preprocessing now uses -DPNG_NO_USE_READ_MACROS even when
3232 the library may actually be built with PNG_USE_READ_MACROS; this stops
3233 the read macros interfering with the symbol file format.
3234 Made the manual, synopses, and function prototypes use the function
3235 argument names file_gamma, int_file_gamma, and srgb_intent consistently.
3237 Version 1.5.1beta11 [January 28, 2011]
3238 Changed PNG_UNUSED from "param=param;" to "{if(param){}}".
3239 Corrected local variable type in new API png_process_data_skip()
3240 The type was self-evidently incorrect but only causes problems on 64-bit
3242 Added transform tests to pngvalid and simplified the arguments.
3244 Version 1.5.1rc01 [January 29, 2011]
3247 Version 1.5.1rc02 [January 31, 2011]
3248 Added a request in the manual that applications do not use "png_" or
3249 "PNG_" to begin any of their own symbols.
3250 Changed PNG_UNUSED to "(void)param;" and updated the commentary in pngpriv.h
3252 Version 1.5.1 [February 3, 2011]
3255 Version 1.5.2beta01 [February 13, 2011]
3256 More -Wshadow fixes for older gcc compilers. Older gcc versions apparently
3257 check formal parameters names in function declarations (as well as
3258 definitions) to see if they match a name in the global namespace.
3259 Revised PNG_EXPORTA macro to not use an empty parameter, to accommodate the
3260 old VisualC++ preprocessor.
3261 Turned on interlace handling in png_read_png().
3262 Fixed gcc pendantic warnings.
3263 Handle longjmp in Cygwin.
3264 Fixed png_get_current_row_number() in the interlaced case.
3265 Cleaned up ALPHA flags and transformations.
3266 Implemented expansion to 16 bits.
3268 Version 1.5.2beta02 [February 19, 2011]
3269 Fixed mistake in the descriptions of user read_transform and write_transform
3270 function prototypes in the manual. The row_info struct is png_row_infop.
3271 Reverted png_get_current_row_number() to previous (1.5.2beta01) behavior.
3272 Corrected png_get_current_row_number documentation
3273 Fixed the read/write row callback documentation.
3274 This documents the current behavior, where the callback is called after
3275 every row with information pertaining to the next row.
3277 Version 1.5.2beta03 [March 3, 2011]
3278 Fixed scripts/makefile.vcwin32
3279 Updated contrib/pngsuite/README to add the word "modify".
3280 Define PNG_ALLOCATED to blank when _MSC_VER<1300.
3282 Version 1.5.2rc01 [March 19, 2011]
3283 Define remaining attributes to blank when MSC_VER<1300.
3284 ifdef out mask arrays in pngread.c when interlacing is not supported.
3286 Version 1.5.2rc02 [March 22, 2011]
3287 Added a hint to try CPP=/bin/cpp if "cpp -E" fails in scripts/pnglibconf.mak
3288 and in contrib/pngminim/*/makefile, eg., on SunOS 5.10, and removed "strip"
3290 Fixed a bug (present since libpng-1.0.7) that makes png_handle_sPLT() fail
3291 to compile when PNG_NO_POINTER_INDEXING is defined (Chubanov Kirill)
3293 Version 1.5.2rc03 [March 24, 2011]
3294 Don't include standard header files in png.h while building the symbol table,
3295 to avoid cpp failure on SunOS (introduced PNG_BUILDING_SYMBOL_TABLE macro).
3297 Version 1.5.2 [March 31, 2011]
3300 Version 1.5.3beta01 [April 1, 2011]
3301 Re-initialize the zlib compressor before compressing non-IDAT chunks.
3302 Added API functions (png_set_text_compression_level() and four others) to
3303 set parameters for zlib compression of non-IDAT chunks.
3305 Version 1.5.3beta02 [April 3, 2011]
3306 Updated scripts/symbols.def with new API functions.
3307 Only compile the new zlib re-initializing code when text or iCCP is
3308 supported, using PNG_WRITE_COMPRESSED_TEXT_SUPPORTED macro.
3309 Improved the optimization of the zlib CMF byte (see libpng-1.2.6beta03).
3310 Optimize the zlib CMF byte in non-IDAT compressed chunks
3312 Version 1.5.3beta03 [April 16, 2011]
3313 Fixed gcc -ansi -pedantic compile. A strict ANSI system does not have
3314 snprintf, and the "__STRICT_ANSI__" detects that condition more reliably
3315 than __STDC__ (John Bowler).
3316 Removed the PNG_PTR_NORETURN attribute because it too dangerous. It tells
3317 the compiler that a user supplied callback (the error handler) does not
3318 return, yet there is no guarantee in practice that the application code
3319 will correctly implement the error handler because the compiler only
3320 issues a warning if there is a mistake (John Bowler).
3321 Removed the no-longer-used PNG_DEPSTRUCT macro.
3322 Updated the zlib version to 1.2.5 in the VStudio project.
3323 Fixed 64-bit builds where png_uint_32 is smaller than png_size_t in
3324 pngwutil.c (John Bowler).
3325 Fixed bug with stripping the filler or alpha channel when writing, that
3326 was introduced in libpng-1.5.2beta01 (bug report by Andrew Church).
3328 Version 1.5.3beta04 [April 27, 2011]
3329 Updated pngtest.png with the new zlib CMF optimization.
3330 Cleaned up conditional compilation code and of background/gamma handling
3331 Internal changes only except a new option to avoid compiling the
3332 png_build_grayscale_palette API (which is not used at all internally.)
3333 The main change is to move the transform tests (READ_TRANSFORMS,
3334 WRITE_TRANSFORMS) up one level to the caller of the APIs. This avoids
3335 calls to spurious functions if all transforms are disabled and slightly
3336 simplifies those functions. Pngvalid modified to handle this.
3337 A minor change is to stop the strip_16 and expand_16 interfaces from
3338 disabling each other; this allows the future alpha premultiplication
3339 code to use 16-bit intermediate values while still producing 8-bit output.
3340 png_do_background and png_do_gamma have been simplified to take a single
3341 pointer to the png_struct rather than pointers to every item required
3342 from the png_struct. This makes no practical difference to the internal
3344 A serious bug in the pngvalid internal routine 'standard_display_init' has
3345 been fixed - this failed to initialize the red channel and accidentally
3346 initialized the alpha channel twice.
3347 Changed png_struct jmp_buf member name from png_jmpbuf to tmp_jmpbuf to
3348 avoid a possible clash with the png_jmpbuf macro on some platforms.
3350 Version 1.5.3beta05 [May 6, 2011]
3351 Added the "_POSIX_SOURCE" feature test macro to ensure libpng sees the
3352 correct API. _POSIX_SOURCE is defined in pngpriv.h, pngtest.c and
3353 pngvalid.c to ensure that POSIX conformant systems disable non-POSIX APIs.
3354 Removed png_snprintf and added formatted warning messages. This change adds
3355 internal APIs to allow png_warning messages to have parameters without
3356 requiring the host OS to implement snprintf. As a side effect the
3357 dependency of the tIME-supporting RFC1132 code on stdio is removed and
3358 PNG_NO_WARNINGS does actually work now.
3359 Pass "" instead of '\0' to png_default_error() in png_err(). This mistake
3360 was introduced in libpng-1.2.20beta01. This fixes CVE-2011-2691.
3361 Added PNG_WRITE_OPTIMIZE_CMF_SUPPORTED macro to make the zlib "CMF" byte
3362 optimization configureable.
3363 IDAT compression failed if preceded by a compressed text chunk (bug
3364 introduced in libpng-1.5.3beta01-02). This was because the attempt to
3365 reset the zlib stream in png_write_IDAT happened after the first IDAT
3366 chunk had been deflated - much too late. In this change internal
3367 functions were added to claim/release the z_stream and, hopefully, make
3368 the code more robust. Also deflateEnd checking is added - previously
3369 libpng would ignore an error at the end of the stream.
3371 Version 1.5.3beta06 [May 8, 2011]
3372 Removed the -D_ALL_SOURCE from definitions for AIX in CMakeLists.txt
3373 Implemented premultiplied alpha support: png_set_alpha_mode API
3375 Version 1.5.3beta07 [May 11, 2011]
3376 Added expand_16 support to the high level interface.
3377 Added named value and 'flag' gamma support to png_set_gamma. Made a minor
3378 change from the previous (unreleased) ABI/API to hide the exact value used
3379 for Macs - it's not a good idea to embed this in the ABI!
3380 Moved macro definitions for PNG_HAVE_IHDR, PNG_HAVE_PLTE, and PNG_AFTER_IDAT
3381 from pngpriv.h to png.h because they must be visible to applications
3382 that call png_set_unknown_chunks().
3383 Check for up->location !PNG_AFTER_IDAT when writing unknown chunks
3386 Version 1.5.3beta08 [May 16, 2011]
3387 Improved "pngvalid --speed" to exclude more of pngvalid from the time.
3388 Documented png_set_alpha_mode(), other changes in libpng.3/libpng-manual.txt
3389 The cHRM chunk now sets the defaults for png_set_rgb_to_gray() (when negative
3390 parameters are supplied by the caller), while in the absence of cHRM
3391 sRGB/Rec 709 values are still used. This introduced a divide-by-zero
3392 bug in png_handle_cHRM().
3393 The bKGD chunk no longer overwrites the background value set by
3394 png_set_background(), allowing the latter to be used before the file
3395 header is read. It never performed any useful function to override
3397 Added memory overwrite and palette image checks to pngvalid.c
3398 Previously palette image code was poorly checked. Since the transformation
3399 code has a special palette path in most cases this was a severe weakness.
3400 Minor cleanup and some extra checking in pngrutil.c and pngrtran.c. When
3401 expanding an indexed image, always expand to RGBA if transparency is
3404 Version 1.5.3beta09 [May 17, 2011]
3405 Reversed earlier 1.5.3 change of transformation order; move png_expand_16
3406 back where it was. The change doesn't work because it requires 16-bit
3407 gamma tables when the code only generates 8-bit ones. This fails
3408 silently; the libpng code just doesn't do any gamma correction. Moving
3409 the tests back leaves the old, inaccurate, 8-bit gamma calculations, but
3410 these are clearly better than none!
3412 Version 1.5.3beta10 [May 20, 2011]
3414 png_set_background() and png_expand_16() did not work together correctly.
3415 This problem is present in 1.5.2; if png_set_background is called with
3416 need_expand false and the matching 16 bit color libpng erroneously just
3417 treats it as an 8-bit color because of where png_do_expand_16 is in the
3418 transform list. This simple fix reduces the supplied colour to 8-bits,
3419 so it gets smashed, but this is better than the current behavior.
3420 Added tests for expand16, more fixes for palette image tests to pngvalid.
3421 Corrects the code for palette image tests and disables attempts to
3422 validate palette colors.
3424 Version 1.5.3rc01 [June 3, 2011]
3427 Version 1.5.3rc02 [June 8, 2011]
3428 Fixed uninitialized memory read in png_format_buffer() (Bug report by
3429 Frank Busse, CVE-2011-2501, related to CVE-2004-0421).
3431 Version 1.5.3beta11 [June 11, 2011]
3432 Fixed png_handle_sCAL which is broken in 1.5. This fixes CVE 2011-2692.
3433 Added sCAL to pngtest.png
3434 Revised documentation about png_set_user_limits() to say that it also affects
3436 Revised handling of png_set_user_limits() so that it can increase the
3437 limit beyond the PNG_USER_WIDTH|HEIGHT_MAX; previously it could only
3439 Make the 16-to-8 scaling accurate. Dividing by 256 with no rounding is
3440 wrong (high by one) 25% of the time. Dividing by 257 with rounding is
3441 wrong in 128 out of 65536 cases. Getting the right answer all the time
3442 without division is easy.
3443 Added "_SUPPORTED" to the PNG_WRITE_CUSTOMIZE_ZTXT_COMPRESSION macro.
3444 Added projects/owatcom, an IDE project for OpenWatcom to replace
3445 scripts/makefile.watcom. This project works with OpenWatcom 1.9. The
3446 IDE autogenerates appropriate makefiles (libpng.mk) for batch processing.
3447 The project is configurable, unlike the Visual Studio project, so long
3448 as the developer has an awk.
3449 Changed png_set_gAMA to limit the gamma value range so that the inverse
3450 of the stored value cannot overflow the fixed point representation,
3451 and changed other things OpenWatcom warns about.
3452 Revised pngvalid.c to test PNG_ALPHA_MODE_SUPPORTED correctly. This allows
3453 pngvalid to build when ALPHA_MODE is not supported, which is required if
3454 it is to build on libpng 1.4.
3455 Removed string/memory macros that are no longer used and are not
3456 necessarily fully supportable, particularly png_strncpy and png_snprintf.
3457 Added log option to pngvalid.c and attempted to improve gamma messages.
3459 Version 1.5.3 [omitted]
3460 People found the presence of a beta release following an rc release
3461 to be confusing; therefore we bump the version to libpng-1.5.4beta01
3462 and there will be no libpng-1.5.3 release.
3464 Version 1.5.4beta01 [June 14, 2011]
3465 Made it possible to undefine PNG_READ_16_TO_8_ACCURATE_SCALE_SUPPORTED
3466 to get the same (inaccurate) output as libpng-1.5.2 and earlier.
3467 Moved definitions of PNG_HAVE_IHDR, PNG_AFTER_IDAT, and PNG_HAVE_PLTE
3468 outside of an unknown-chunk block in png.h because they are also
3469 needed for other uses.
3471 Version 1.5.4beta02 [June 14, 2011]
3472 Fixed and clarified LEGACY 16-to-8 scaling code.
3473 Added png_set_chop_16() API, to match inaccurate results from previous
3475 Removed the ACCURATE and LEGACY options (they are no longer useable)
3476 Use the old scaling method for background if png_set_chop_16() was
3478 Made png_set_chop_16() API removeable by disabling PNG_CHOP_16_TO_8_SUPPORTED
3480 Version 1.5.4beta03 [June 15, 2011]
3481 Fixed a problem in png_do_expand_palette() exposed by optimization in
3483 Also removed a spurious and confusing "trans" member ("trans") from png_info.
3484 The palette expand optimization prevented expansion to an intermediate RGBA
3485 form if tRNS was present but alpha was marked to be stripped; this exposed
3486 a check for tRNS in png_do_expand_palette() which is inconsistent with the
3487 code elsewhere in libpng.
3488 Correction to the expand_16 code; removed extra instance of
3489 png_set_scale_16_to_8 from pngpriv.h
3491 Version 1.5.4beta04 [June 16, 2011]
3492 Added a missing "#ifdef PNG_READ_BACKGROUND_SUPPORTED/#endif" in pngrtran.c
3493 Added PNG_TRANSFORM_CHOP_16 to the high-level read transforms.
3494 Made PNG_READ_16_TO_8_ACCURATE_SCALE configurable again. If this is
3495 not enabled, png_set_strip_16() and png_do_scale_16_to_8() aren't built.
3496 Revised contrib/visupng, gregbook, and pngminim to demonstrate chop_16_to_8
3498 Version 1.5.4beta05 [June 16, 2011]
3499 Renamed png_set_strip_16() to png_set_scale_16() and renamed
3500 png_set_chop_16() to png_set_strip(16) in an attempt to minimize the
3501 behavior changes between libpng14 and libpng15.
3503 Version 1.5.4beta06 [June 18, 2011]
3504 Fixed new bug that was causing both strip_16 and scale_16 to be applied.
3506 Version 1.5.4beta07 [June 19, 2011]
3507 Fixed pngvalid, simplified macros, added checking for 0 in sCAL.
3508 The ACCURATE scale macro is no longer defined in 1.5 - call the
3509 png_scale_16_to_8 API. Made sure that PNG_READ_16_TO_8 is still defined
3510 if the png_strip_16_to_8 API is present. png_check_fp_number now
3511 maintains some state so that positive, negative and zero values are
3512 identified. sCAL uses these to be strictly spec conformant.
3514 Version 1.5.4beta08 [June 23, 2011]
3515 Fixed pngvalid if ACCURATE_SCALE is defined.
3516 Updated scripts/pnglibconf.h.prebuilt.
3518 Version 1.5.4rc01 [June 30, 2011]
3519 Define PNG_ALLOCATED to "restrict" only if MSC_VER >= 1400.
3521 Version 1.5.4 [July 7, 2011]
3524 Version 1.5.5beta01 [July 13, 2011]
3525 Fixed some typos and made other minor changes in the manual.
3526 Updated contrib/pngminus/makefile.std (Samuli Souminen)
3528 Version 1.5.5beta02 [July 14, 2011]
3529 Revised Makefile.am and Makefile.in to look in the right directory for
3530 pnglibconf.h.prebuilt
3532 Version 1.5.5beta03 [July 27, 2011]
3533 Enabled compilation with g++ compiler. This compiler does not recognize
3534 the file extension, so it always compiles with C++ rules. Made minor
3535 changes to pngrutil.c to cast results where C++ expects it but C does not.
3536 Minor editing of libpng.3 and libpng-manual.txt.
3538 Version 1.5.5beta04 [July 29, 2011]
3539 Revised CMakeLists.txt (Clifford Yapp)
3540 Updated commentary about the png_rgb_to_gray() default coefficients
3541 in the manual and in pngrtran.c
3543 Version 1.5.5beta05 [August 17, 2011]
3544 Prevent unexpected API exports from non-libpng DLLs on Windows. The "_DLL"
3545 is removed from the test of whether a DLL is being built (this erroneously
3546 caused the libpng APIs to be marked as DLL exports in static builds under
3547 Microsoft Visual Studio). Almost all of the libpng building configuration
3548 is moved from pngconf.h to pngpriv.h, but PNG_DLL_EXPORT remains in
3549 pngconf.h, though, so that it is colocated with the import definition (it
3550 is no longer used anywhere in the installed headers). The VStudio project
3551 definitions have been cleaned up: "_USRDLL" has been removed from the
3552 static library builds (this was incorrect), and PNG_USE_DLL has been added
3553 to pngvalid to test the functionality (pngtest does not supply it,
3554 deliberately). The spurious "_EXPORTS" has been removed from the
3555 libpng build (all these errors were a result of copy/paste between project
3557 Added new types and internal functions for CIE RGB end point handling to
3558 pngpriv.h (functions yet to be implemented).
3560 Version 1.5.5beta06 [August 26, 2011]
3561 Ensure the CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY is set in CMakeLists.txt
3563 Fixes to rgb_to_gray and cHRM XYZ APIs (John Bowler):
3564 The rgb_to_gray code had errors when combined with gamma correction.
3565 Some pixels were treated as true grey when they weren't and such pixels
3566 and true grey ones were not gamma corrected (the original value of the
3567 red component was used instead). APIs to get and set cHRM using color
3568 space end points have been added and the rgb_to_gray code that defaults
3569 based on cHRM, and the divide-by-zero bug in png_handle_cHRM (CERT
3570 VU#477046, CVE-2011-3328, introduced in 1.5.4) have been corrected.
3571 A considerable number of tests has been added to pngvalid for the
3572 rgb_to_gray transform.
3573 Arithmetic errors in rgb_to_gray whereby the calculated gray value was
3574 truncated to the bit depth rather than rounded have been fixed except in
3575 the 8-bit non-gamma-corrected case (where consistency seems more important
3576 than correctness.) The code still has considerable inaccuracies in the
3577 8-bit case because 8-bit linear arithmetic is used.
3579 Version 1.5.5beta07 [September 7, 2011]
3580 Added "$(ARCH)" option to makefile.darwin
3581 Added SunOS support to configure.ac and Makefile.am
3582 Changed png_chunk_benign_error() to png_warning() in png.c, in
3583 png_XYZ_from_xy_checked().
3585 Version 1.5.5beta08 [September 10, 2011]
3586 Fixed 64-bit compilation errors (gcc). The errors fixed relate
3587 to conditions where types that are 32 bits in the GCC 32-bit
3588 world (uLong and png_size_t) become 64 bits in the 64-bit
3589 world. This produces potential truncation errors which the
3590 compiler correctly flags.
3591 Relocated new HAVE_SOLARIS_LD definition in configure.ac
3592 Constant changes for 64-bit compatibility (removal of L suffixes). The
3593 16-bit cases still use "L" as we don't have a 16-bit test system.
3595 Version 1.5.5rc01 [September 15, 2011]
3596 Removed "L" suffixes in pngpriv.h
3598 Version 1.5.5 [September 22, 2011]
3601 Version 1.5.6beta01 [September 22, 2011]
3602 Fixed some 64-bit type conversion warnings in pngrtran.c
3603 Moved row_info from png_struct to a local variable.
3604 The various interlace mask arrays have been made into arrays of
3605 bytes and made PNG_CONST and static (previously some arrays were
3606 marked PNG_CONST and some weren't).
3607 Additional checks have been added to the transform code to validate the
3608 pixel depths after the transforms on both read and write.
3609 Removed some redundant code from pngwrite.c, in png_destroy_write_struct().
3610 Changed chunk reading/writing code to use png_uint_32 instead of png_byte[4].
3611 This removes the need to allocate temporary strings for chunk names on
3612 the stack in the read/write code. Unknown chunk handling still uses the
3613 string form because this is exposed in the API.
3615 Version 1.5.6beta02 [September 26, 2011]
3616 Added a note in the manual the png_read_update_info() must be called only
3617 once with a particular info_ptr.
3618 Fixed a typo in the definition of the new PNG_STRING_FROM_CHUNK(s,c) macro.
3620 Version 1.5.6beta03 [September 28, 2011]
3621 Revised test-pngtest.sh to report FAIL when pngtest fails.
3622 Added "--strict" option to pngtest, to report FAIL when the failure is
3623 only because the resulting valid files are different.
3624 Revised CMakeLists.txt to work with mingw and removed some material from
3625 CMakeLists.txt that is no longer useful in libpng-1.5.
3627 Version 1.5.6beta04 [October 5, 2011]
3628 Fixed typo in Makefile.in and Makefile.am ("-M Wl" should be "-M -Wl")."
3630 Version 1.5.6beta05 [October 12, 2011]
3631 Speed up png_combine_row() for interlaced images. This reduces the generality
3632 of the code, allowing it to be optimized for Adam7 interlace. The masks
3633 passed to png_combine_row() are now generated internally, avoiding
3634 some code duplication and localizing the interlace handling somewhat.
3635 Align png_struct::row_buf - previously it was always unaligned, caused by
3636 a bug in the code that attempted to align it; the code needs to subtract
3637 one from the pointer to take account of the filter byte prepended to
3639 Optimized png_combine_row() when rows are aligned. This gains a small
3640 percentage for 16-bit and 32-bit pixels in the typical case where the
3641 output row buffers are appropriately aligned. The optimization was not
3642 previously possible because the png_struct buffer was always misaligned.
3643 Fixed bug in png_write_chunk_header() debug print, introduced in 1.5.6beta01.
3645 Version 1.5.6beta06 [October 17, 2011]
3646 Removed two redundant tests for unitialized row.
3647 Fixed a relatively harmless memory overwrite in compressed text writing
3648 with a 1 byte zlib buffer.
3649 Add ability to call png_read_update_info multiple times to pngvalid.c.
3650 Fixes for multiple calls to png_read_update_info. These fixes attend to
3651 most of the errors revealed in pngvalid, however doing the gamma work
3652 twice results in inaccuracies that can't be easily fixed. There is now
3653 a warning in the code if this is going to happen.
3654 Turned on multiple png_read_update_info in pngvalid transform tests.
3655 Prevent libpng from overwriting unused bits at the end of the image when
3656 it is not byte aligned, while reading. Prior to libpng-1.5.6 libpng would
3657 overwrite the partial byte at the end of each row if the row width was not
3658 an exact multiple of 8 bits and the image is not interlaced.
3660 Version 1.5.6beta07 [October 21, 2011]
3661 Made png_ptr->prev_row an aligned pointer into png_ptr->big_prev_row
3664 Version 1.5.6rc01 [October 26, 2011]
3665 Changed misleading "Missing PLTE before cHRM" warning to "Out of place cHRM"
3667 Version 1.5.6rc02 [October 27, 2011]
3668 Added LSR() macro to defend against buggy compilers that evaluate non-taken
3669 code branches and complain about out-of-range shifts.
3671 Version 1.5.6rc03 [October 28, 2011]
3672 Renamed the LSR() macro to PNG_LSR() and added PNG_LSL() macro.
3673 Fixed compiler warnings with Intel and MSYS compilers. The logical shift
3674 fix for Microsoft Visual C is required by other compilers, so this
3675 enables that fix for all compilers when using compile-time constants.
3676 Under MSYS 'byte' is a name declared in a system header file, so we
3677 changed the name of a local variable to avoid the warnings that result.
3678 Added #define PNG_ALIGN_TYPE PNG_ALIGN_NONE to contrib/pngminim/*/pngusr.h
3680 Version 1.5.6 [November 3, 2011]
3683 Version 1.5.7beta01 [November 4, 2011]
3684 Added support for ARM processor, when decoding all PNG up-filtered rows
3685 and any other-filtered rows with 3 or 4 bytes per pixel (Mans Rullgard).
3686 Fixed bug in pngvalid on early allocation failure; fixed type cast in
3687 pngmem.c; pngvalid would attempt to call png_error() if the allocation
3688 of a png_struct or png_info failed. This would probably have led to a
3689 crash. The pngmem.c implementation of png_malloc() included a cast
3690 to png_size_t which would fail on large allocations on 16-bit systems.
3691 Fix for the preprocessor of the Intel C compiler. The preprocessor
3692 splits adjacent @ signs with a space; this changes the concatentation
3693 token from @-@-@ to PNG_JOIN; that should work with all compiler
3695 Paeth filter speed improvements from work by Siarhei Siamashka. This
3696 changes the 'Paeth' reconstruction function to improve the GCC code
3697 generation on x86. The changes are only part of the suggested ones;
3698 just the changes that definitely improve speed and remain simple.
3699 The changes also slightly increase the clarity of the code.
3701 Version 1.5.7beta02 [November 11, 2011]
3702 Check compression_type parameter in png_get_iCCP and remove spurious
3703 casts. The compression_type parameter is always assigned to, so must
3704 be non-NULL. The cast of the profile length potentially truncated the
3705 value unnecessarily on a 16-bit int system, so the cast of the (byte)
3706 compression type to (int) is specified by ANSI-C anyway.
3707 Fixed FP division by zero in pngvalid.c; the 'test_pixel' code left
3708 the sBIT fields in the test pixel as 0, which resulted in a floating
3709 point division by zero which was irrelevant but causes systems where
3710 FP exceptions cause a crash. Added code to pngvalid to turn on FP
3711 exceptions if the appropriate glibc support is there to ensure this is
3712 tested in the future.
3713 Updated scripts/pnglibconf.mak and scripts/makefile.std to handle the
3715 Added versioning to pnglibconf.h comments.
3716 Simplified read/write API initial version; basic read/write tested on
3717 a variety of images, limited documentation (in the header file.)
3718 Installed more accurate linear to sRGB conversion tables. The slightly
3719 modified tables reduce the number of 16-bit values that
3720 convert to an off-by-one 8-bit value. The "makesRGB.c" code that was used
3721 to generate the tables is now in a contrib/sRGBtables sub-directory.
3723 Version 1.5.7beta03 [November 17, 2011]
3724 Removed PNG_CONST from the sRGB table declarations in pngpriv.h and png.c
3725 Added run-time detection of NEON support.
3726 Added contrib/libtests; includes simplified API test and timing test and
3727 a color conversion utility for rapid checking of failed 'pngstest' results.
3728 Multiple transform bug fixes plus a work-round for double gamma correction.
3729 libpng does not support more than one transform that requires linear data
3730 at once - if this is tried typically the results is double gamma
3731 correction. Since the simplified APIs can need rgb to gray combined with
3732 a compose operation it is necessary to do one of these outside the main
3733 libpng transform code. This check-in also contains fixes to various bugs
3734 in the simplified APIs themselves and to some bugs in compose and rgb to
3735 gray (on palette) itself.
3736 Fixes for C++ compilation using g++ When libpng source is compiled
3737 using g++. The compiler imposes C++ rules on the C source; thus it
3738 is desireable to make the source work with either C or C++ rules
3739 without throwing away useful error information. This change adds
3740 png_voidcast to allow C semantic (void*) cases or the corresponding
3741 C++ static_cast operation, as appropriate.
3742 Added --noexecstack to assembler file compilation. GCC does not set
3743 this on assembler compilation, even though it does on C compilation.
3744 This creates security issues if assembler code is enabled; the
3745 work-around is to set it by default in the flags for $(CCAS)
3746 Work around compilers that don't support declaration of const data. Some
3747 compilers fault 'extern const' data declarations (because the data is
3748 not initialized); this turns on const-ness only for compilers where
3749 this is known to work.
3751 Version 1.5.7beta04 [November 17, 2011]
3752 Since the gcc driver does not recognize the --noexecstack flag, we must
3753 use the -Wa prefix to have it passed through to the assembler.
3754 Also removed a duplicate setting of this flag.
3755 Added files that were omitted from the libpng-1.5.7beta03 zip distribution.
3757 Version 1.5.7beta05 [November 25, 2011]
3758 Removed "zTXt" from warning in generic chunk decompression function.
3759 Validate time settings passed to png_set_tIME() and png_convert_to_rfc1123()
3760 (Frank Busse). Note: This prevented CVE-2015-7981 from affecting
3761 libpng-1.5.7 and later.
3762 Added MINGW support to CMakeLists.txt
3763 Reject invalid compression flag or method when reading the iTXt chunk.
3764 Backed out 'simplified' API changes. The API seems too complex and there
3765 is a lack of consensus or enthusiasm for the proposals. The API also
3766 reveals significant bugs inside libpng (double gamma correction and the
3767 known bug of being unable to retrieve a corrected palette). It seems
3768 better to wait until the bugs, at least, are corrected.
3769 Moved pngvalid.c into contrib/libtests
3770 Rebuilt Makefile.in, configure, etc., with autoconf-2.68
3772 Version 1.5.7rc01 [December 1, 2011]
3773 Replaced an "#if" with "#ifdef" in pngrtran.c
3774 Revised #if PNG_DO_BC block in png.c (use #ifdef and add #else)
3776 Version 1.5.7rc02 [December 5, 2011]
3777 Revised project files and contrib/pngvalid/pngvalid.c to account for
3778 the relocation of pngvalid into contrib/libtests.
3779 Revised pngconf.h to use " __declspec(restrict)" only when MSC_VER >= 1400,
3781 Put CRLF line endings in the owatcom project files.
3783 Version 1.5.7rc03 [December 7, 2011]
3784 Updated CMakeLists.txt to account for the relocation of pngvalid.c
3786 Version 1.5.7 [December 15, 2011]
3787 Minor fixes to pngvalid.c for gcc 4.6.2 compatibility to remove warnings
3788 reported by earlier versions.
3789 Fixed minor memset/sizeof errors in pngvalid.c.
3791 Version 1.6.0beta01 [December 15, 2011]
3792 Removed machine-generated configure files from the GIT repository (they will
3793 continue to appear in the tarball distributions and in the libpng15 and
3794 earlier GIT branches).
3795 Restored the new 'simplified' API, which was started in libpng-1.5.7beta02
3796 but later deleted from libpng-1.5.7beta05.
3797 Added example programs for the new 'simplified' API.
3798 Added ANSI-C (C90) headers and require them, and take advantage of the
3799 change. Also fixed some of the projects/* and contrib/* files that needed
3800 updates for libpng16 and the move of pngvalid.c.
3801 With this change the required ANSI-C header files are assumed to exist: the
3802 implementation must provide float.h, limits.h, stdarg.h and stddef.h and
3803 libpng relies on limits.h and stddef.h existing and behaving as defined
3804 (the other two required headers aren't used). Non-ANSI systems that don't
3805 have stddef.h or limits.h will have to provide an appropriate fake
3806 containing the relevant types and #defines.
3807 Dropped support for 16-bit platforms. The use of FAR/far has been eliminated
3808 and the definition of png_alloc_size_t is now controlled by a flag so
3809 that 'small size_t' systems can select it if necessary. Libpng 1.6 may
3810 not currently work on such systems -- it seems likely that it will
3811 ask 'malloc' for more than 65535 bytes with any image that has a
3812 sufficiently large row size (rather than simply failing to read such
3814 New tools directory containing tools used to generate libpng code.
3815 Fixed race conditions in parallel make builds. With higher degrees of
3816 parallelism during 'make' the use of the same temporary file names such
3817 as 'dfn*' can result in a race where a temporary file from one arm of the
3818 build is deleted or overwritten in another arm. This changes the
3819 temporary files for suffix rules to always use $* and ensures that the
3820 non-suffix rules use unique file names.
3822 Version 1.6.0beta02 [December 21, 2011]
3823 Correct configure builds where build and source directories are separate.
3824 The include path of 'config.h' was erroneously made relative in pngvalid.c
3827 Version 1.6.0beta03 [December 22, 2011]
3828 Start-up code size improvements, error handler flexibility. These changes
3829 alter how the tricky allocation of the initial png_struct and png_info
3830 structures are handled. png_info is now handled in pretty much the same
3831 way as everything else, except that the allocations handle NULL return
3832 silently. png_struct is changed in a similar way on allocation and on
3833 deallocation a 'safety' error handler is put in place (which should never
3834 be required). The error handler itself is changed to permit mismatches
3835 in the application and libpng error buffer size; however, this means a
3836 silent change to the API to return the jmp_buf if the size doesn't match
3837 the size from the libpng compilation; libpng now allocates the memory and
3838 this may fail. Overall these changes result in slight code size
3839 reductions; however, this is a reduction in code that is always executed
3840 so is particularly valuable. Overall on a 64-bit system the libpng DLL
3841 decreases in code size by 1733 bytes. pngerror.o increases in size by
3842 about 465 bytes because of the new functionality.
3843 Added png_convert_to_rfc1123_buffer() and deprecated png_convert_to_rfc1123()
3844 to avoid including a spurious buffer in the png_struct.
3846 Version 1.6.0beta04 [December 30, 2011]
3847 Regenerated configure scripts with automake-1.11.2
3848 Eliminated png_info_destroy(). It is now used only in png.c and only calls
3849 one other internal function and memset().
3850 Enabled png_get_sCAL_fixed() if floating point APIs are enabled. Previously
3851 it was disabled whenever internal fixed point arithmetic was selected,
3852 which meant it didn't exist even on systems where FP was available but not
3854 Added pngvalid.c compile time checks for const APIs.
3855 Implemented 'restrict' for png_info and png_struct. Because of the way
3856 libpng works both png_info and png_struct are always accessed via a
3857 single pointer. This means adding C99 'restrict' to the pointer gives
3858 the compiler some opportunity to optimize the code. This change allows
3860 Moved AC_MSG_CHECKING([if libraries can be versioned]) later to the proper
3861 location in configure.ac (Gilles Espinasse).
3862 Changed png_memcpy to C assignment where appropriate. Changed all those
3863 uses of png_memcpy that were doing a simple assignment to assignments
3864 (all those cases where the thing being copied is a non-array C L-value).
3865 Added some error checking to png_set_*() routines.
3866 Removed the reference to the non-exported function png_memcpy() from
3868 Fixed the Visual C 64-bit build - it requires jmp_buf to be aligned, but
3869 it had become misaligned.
3870 Revised contrib/pngminus/pnm2png.c to avoid warnings when png_uint_32
3871 and unsigned long are of different sizes.
3873 Version 1.6.0beta05 [January 15, 2012]
3874 Updated manual with description of the simplified API (copied from png.h)
3875 Fix bug in pngerror.c: some long warnings were being improperly truncated
3876 (CVE-2011-3464, bug introduced in libpng-1.5.3beta05).
3878 Version 1.6.0beta06 [January 24, 2012]
3879 Added palette support to the simplified APIs. This commit
3880 changes some of the macro definitions in png.h, app code
3881 may need corresponding changes.
3882 Increased the formatted warning buffer to 192 bytes.
3883 Added color-map support to simplified API. This is an initial version for
3884 review; the documentation has not yet been updated.
3885 Fixed Min/GW uninstall to remove libpng.dll.a
3887 Version 1.6.0beta07 [January 28, 2012]
3888 Eliminated Intel icc/icl compiler warnings. The Intel (GCC derived)
3889 compiler issues slightly different warnings from those issued by the
3890 current vesions of GCC. This eliminates those warnings by
3891 adding/removing casts and small code rewrites.
3892 Updated configure.ac from autoupdate: added --enable-werror option.
3893 Also some layout regularization and removal of introduced tab characters
3894 (replaced with 3-character indentation). Obsolete macros identified by
3895 autoupdate have been removed; the replacements are all in 2.59 so
3896 the pre-req hasn't been changed. --enable-werror checks for support
3897 for -Werror (or the given argument) in the compiler. This mimics the
3898 gcc configure option by allowing -Werror to be turned on safely; without
3899 the option the tests written in configure itself fail compilation because
3900 they cause compiler warnings.
3901 Rewrote autogen.sh to run autoreconf instead of running tools one-by-one.
3902 Conditionalize the install rules for MINGW and CYGWIN in CMakeLists.txt and
3903 set CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY to "lib" on all platforms (C. Yapp).
3904 Freeze libtool files in the 'scripts' directory. This version of autogen.sh
3905 attempts to dissuade people from running it when it is not, or should not,
3906 be necessary. In fact, autogen.sh does not work when run in a libpng
3907 directory extracted from a tar distribution anymore. You must run it in
3908 a GIT clone instead.
3909 Added two images to contrib/pngsuite (1-bit and 2-bit transparent grayscale),
3910 and renamed three whose names were inconsistent with those in
3911 pngsuite/README.txt.
3913 Version 1.6.0beta08 [February 1, 2012]
3914 Fixed Image::colormap misalignment in pngstest.c
3915 Check libtool/libtoolize version number (2.4.2) in configure.ac
3916 Divide test-pngstest.sh into separate pngstest runs for basic and
3918 Moved automake options to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE in configure.ac
3919 Added color-tests, silent-rules (Not yet implemented in Makefile.am) and
3920 version checking to configure.ac
3921 Improved pngstest speed by not doing redundant tests and add const to
3922 the background parameter of png_image_finish_read. The --background
3923 option is now done automagically only when required, so that commandline
3924 option no longer exists.
3925 Cleaned up pngpriv.h to consistently declare all functions and data.
3926 Also eliminated PNG_CONST_DATA, which is apparently not needed but we
3927 can't be sure until it is gone.
3928 Added symbol prefixing that allows all the libpng external symbols
3929 to be prefixed (suggested by Reuben Hawkins).
3930 Updated "ftbb*.png" list in the owatcom and vstudio projects.
3931 Fixed 'prefix' builds on clean systems. The generation of pngprefix.h
3932 should not require itself.
3933 Updated INSTALL to explain that autogen.sh must be run in a GIT clone,
3934 not in a libpng directory extracted from a tar distribution.
3936 Version 1.6.0beta09 [February 1, 2012]
3937 Reverted the prebuilt configure files to libpng-1.6.0beta05 condition.
3939 Version 1.6.0beta10 [February 3, 2012]
3940 Added Z_SOLO for zlib-1.2.6+ and correct pngstest tests
3941 Updated list of test images in CMakeLists.txt
3942 Updated the prebuilt configure files to current condition.
3943 Revised INSTALL information about autogen.sh; it works in tar distributions.
3945 Version 1.6.0beta11 [February 16, 2012]
3946 Fix character count in pngstest command in projects/owatcom/pngstest.tgt
3947 Revised test-pngstest.sh to report PASS/FAIL for each image.
3948 Updated documentation about the simplified API.
3949 Corrected estimate of error in libpng png_set_rgb_to_gray API. The API is
3950 extremely inaccurate for sRGB conversions because it uses an 8-bit
3951 intermediate linear value and it does not use the sRGB transform, so it
3952 suffers from the known instability in gamma transforms for values close
3953 to 0 (see Poynton). The net result is that the calculation has a maximum
3954 error of 14.99/255; 0.5/255^(1/2.2). pngstest now uses 15 for the
3955 permitted 8-bit error. This may still not be enough because of arithmetic
3957 Removed some unused arrays (with #ifdef) from png_read_push_finish_row().
3958 Fixed a memory overwrite bug in simplified read of RGB PNG with
3959 non-linear gamma Also bugs in the error checking in pngread.c and changed
3960 quite a lot of the checks in pngstest.c to be correct; either correctly
3961 written or not over-optimistic. The pngstest changes are insufficient to
3962 allow all possible RGB transforms to be passed; pngstest cmppixel needs
3963 to be rewritten to make it clearer which errors it allows and then changed
3964 to permit known inaccuracies.
3965 Removed tests for no-longer-used *_EMPTY_PLTE_SUPPORTED from pngstruct.h
3966 Fixed fixed/float API export conditionals. 1) If FIXED_POINT or
3967 FLOATING_POINT options were switched off, png.h ended up with lone ';'
3968 characters. This is not valid ANSI-C outside a function. The ';'
3969 characters have been moved inside the definition of PNG_FP_EXPORT and
3970 PNG_FIXED_EXPORT. 2) If either option was switched off, the declaration
3971 of the corresponding functions were completely omitted, even though some
3972 of them are still used internally. The result is still valid, but
3973 produces warnings from gcc with some warning options (including -Wall). The
3974 fix is to cause png.h to declare the functions with PNG_INTERNAL_FUNCTION
3975 when png.h is included from pngpriv.h.
3976 Check for invalid palette index while reading paletted PNG. When one is
3977 found, issue a warning and increase png_ptr->num_palette accordingly.
3978 Apps are responsible for checking to see if that happened.
3980 Version 1.6.0beta12 [February 18, 2012]
3981 Do not increase num_palette on invalid_index.
3982 Relocated check for invalid palette index to pngrtran.c, after unpacking
3983 the sub-8-bit pixels.
3984 Fixed CVE-2011-3026 buffer overrun bug. This bug was introduced when
3985 iCCP chunk support was added at libpng-1.0.6. Deal more correctly with the
3986 test on iCCP chunk length. Also removed spurious casts that may hide
3987 problems on 16-bit systems.
3989 Version 1.6.0beta13 [February 24, 2012]
3990 Eliminated redundant png_push_read_tEXt|zTXt|iTXt|unknown code from
3991 pngpread.c and use the sequential png_handle_tEXt, etc., in pngrutil.c;
3992 now that png_ptr->buffer is inaccessible to applications, the special
3993 handling is no longer useful.
3994 Added PNG_SAFE_LIMITS feature to pnglibconf.dfa, pngpriv.h, and new
3995 pngusr.dfa to reset the user limits to safe ones if PNG_SAFE_LIMITS is
3996 defined. To enable, use "CPPFLAGS=-DPNG_SAFE_LIMITS_SUPPORTED=1" on the
3997 configure command or put #define PNG_SAFE_LIMITS_SUPPORTED in
3998 pnglibconf.h.prebuilt and pnglibconf.h.
4000 Version 1.6.0beta14 [February 27, 2012]
4001 Added information about the new limits in the manual.
4004 Version 1.6.0beta15 [March 2, 2012]
4005 Removed unused "current_text" members of png_struct and the png_free()
4006 of png_ptr->current_text from pngread.c
4007 Rewrote pngstest.c for substantial speed improvement.
4008 Fixed transparent pixel and 16-bit rgb tests in pngstest and removed a
4009 spurious check in pngwrite.c
4010 Added PNG_IMAGE_FLAG_FAST for the benefit of applications that store
4011 intermediate files, or intermediate in-memory data, while processing
4012 image data with the simplified API. The option makes the files larger
4013 but faster to write and read. pngstest now uses this by default; this
4014 can be disabled with the --slow option.
4015 Improved pngstest fine tuning of error numbers, new test file generator.
4016 The generator generates images that test the full range of sample values,
4017 allow the error numbers in pngstest to be tuned and checked. makepng
4018 also allows generation of images with extra chunks, although this is
4019 still work-in-progress.
4020 Added check for invalid palette index while reading.
4021 Fixed some bugs in ICC profile writing. The code should now accept
4022 all potentially valid ICC profiles and reject obviously invalid ones.
4023 It now uses png_error() to do so rather than casually writing a PNG
4024 without the necessary color data.
4025 Removed whitespace from the end of lines in all source files and scripts.
4027 Version 1.6.0beta16 [March 6, 2012]
4028 Relocated palette-index checking function from pngrutil.c to pngtrans.c
4029 Added palette-index checking while writing.
4030 Changed png_inflate() and calling routines to avoid overflow problems.
4031 This is an intermediate check-in that solves the immediate problems and
4032 introduces one performance improvement (avoiding a copy via png_ptr->zbuf.)
4033 Further changes will be made to make ICC profile handling more secure.
4034 Fixed build warnings (MSVC, GCC, GCC v3). Cygwin GCC with default options
4035 declares 'index' as a global, causing a warning if it is used as a local
4036 variable. GCC 64-bit warns about assigning a (size_t) (unsigned 64-bit)
4037 to an (int) (signed 32-bit). MSVC, however, warns about using the
4038 unary '-' operator on an unsigned value (even though it is well defined
4039 by ANSI-C to be ~x+1). The padding calculation was changed to use a
4040 different method. Removed the tests on png_ptr->pass.
4041 Added contrib/libtests/tarith.c to test internal arithmetic functions from
4042 png.c. This is a libpng maintainer program used to validate changes to the
4043 internal arithmetic functions.
4044 Made read 'inflate' handling like write 'deflate' handling. The read
4045 code now claims and releases png_ptr->zstream, like the write code.
4046 The bug whereby the progressive reader failed to release the zstream
4047 is now fixed, all initialization is delayed, and the code checks for
4048 changed parameters on deflate rather than always calling
4049 deflatedEnd/deflateInit.
4050 Validate the zTXt strings in pngvalid.
4051 Added code to validate the windowBits value passed to deflateInit2().
4052 If the call to deflateInit2() is wrong a png_warning will be issued
4053 (in fact this is harmless, but the PNG data produced may be sub-optimal).
4055 Version 1.6.0beta17 [March 10, 2012]
4056 Fixed PNG_LIBPNG_BUILD_BASE_TYPE definition.
4057 Reject all iCCP chunks after the first, even if the first one is invalid.
4058 Deflate/inflate was reworked to move common zlib calls into single
4059 functions [rw]util.c. A new shared keyword check routine was also added
4060 and the 'zbuf' is no longer allocated on progressive read. It is now
4061 possible to call png_inflate() incrementally. A warning is no longer
4062 issued if the language tag or translated keyword in the iTXt chunk
4064 If benign errors are disabled use maximum window on ancilliary inflate.
4065 This works round a bug introduced in 1.5.4 where compressed ancillary
4066 chunks could end up with a too-small windowBits value in the deflate
4069 Version 1.6.0beta18 [March 16, 2012]
4070 Issue a png_benign_error() instead of png_warning() about bad palette index.
4071 In pngtest, treat benign errors as errors if "-strict" is present.
4072 Fixed an off-by-one error in the palette index checking function.
4073 Fixed a compiler warning under Cygwin (Windows-7, 32-bit system)
4074 Revised example.c to put text strings in a temporary character array
4075 instead of directly assigning string constants to png_textp members.
4076 This avoids compiler warnings when -Wwrite-strings is enabled.
4077 Added output flushing to aid debugging under Visual Studio. Unfortunately
4078 this is necessary because the VS2010 output window otherwise simply loses
4079 the error messages on error (they weren't flushed to the window before
4080 the process exited, apparently!)
4081 Added configuration support for benign errors and changed the read
4082 default. Also changed some warnings in the iCCP and sRGB handling
4083 from to benign errors. Configuration now makes read benign
4084 errors warnings and write benign errors to errors by default (thus
4085 changing the behavior on read). The simplified API always forces
4086 read benign errors to warnings (regardless of the system default, unless
4087 this is disabled in which case the simplified API can't be built.)
4089 Version 1.6.0beta19 [March 18, 2012]
4090 Work around for duplicate row start calls; added warning messages.
4091 This turns on PNG_FLAG_DETECT_UNINITIALIZED to detect app code that
4092 fails to call one of the 'start' routines (not enabled in libpng-1.5
4093 because it is technically an API change, since it did normally work
4094 before.) It also makes duplicate calls to png_read_start_row (an
4095 internal function called at the start of the image read) benign, as
4096 they were before changes to use png_inflate_claim. Somehow webkit is
4097 causing this to happen; this is probably a mis-feature in the zlib
4098 changes so this commit is only a work-round.
4099 Removed erroneous setting of DETECT_UNINITIALIZED and added more
4100 checks. The code now does a png_error if an attempt is made to do the
4101 row initialization twice; this is an application error and it has
4102 serious consequences because the transform data in png_struct is
4103 changed by each call.
4104 Added application error reporting and added chunk names to read
4105 benign errors; also added --strict to pngstest - not enabled
4106 yet because a warning is produced.
4107 Avoid the double gamma correction warning in the simplified API.
4108 This allows the --strict option to pass in the pngstest checks
4110 Version 1.6.0beta20 [March 29, 2012]
4111 Changed chunk handler warnings into benign errors, incrementally load iCCP
4112 Added checksum-icc.c to contrib/tools
4113 Prevent PNG_EXPAND+PNG_SHIFT doing the shift twice.
4114 Recognize known sRGB ICC profiles while reading; prefer writing the
4115 iCCP profile over writing the sRGB chunk, controlled by the
4116 PNG_sRGB_PROFILE_CHECKS option.
4117 Revised png_set_text_2() to avoid potential memory corruption (fixes
4118 CVE-2011-3048, also known as CVE-2012-3425).
4120 Version 1.6.0beta21 [April 27, 2012]
4121 Revised scripts/makefile.darwin: use system zlib; remove quotes around
4122 architecture list; add missing ppc architecture; add architecture options
4123 to shared library link; don't try to create a shared lib based on missing
4125 Enable png_set_check_for_invalid_index() for both read and write.
4126 Removed #ifdef PNG_HANDLE_AS_UNKNOWN_SUPPORTED in pngpriv.h around
4127 declaration of png_handle_unknown().
4128 Added -lssp_nonshared in a comment in scripts/makefile.freebsd
4129 and changed deprecated NOOBJ and NOPROFILE to NO_OBJ and NO_PROFILE.
4131 Version 1.6.0beta22 [May 23, 2012]
4132 Removed need for -Wno-cast-align with clang. clang correctly warns on
4133 alignment increasing pointer casts when -Wcast-align is passed. This
4134 fixes the cases that clang warns about either by eliminating the
4135 casts from png_bytep to png_uint_16p (pngread.c), or, for pngrutil.c
4136 where the cast is previously verified or pngstest.c where it is OK, by
4137 introducing new png_aligncast macros to do the cast in a way that clang
4140 Version 1.6.0beta23 [June 6, 2012]
4141 Revised CMakeLists.txt to not attempt to make a symlink under mingw.
4142 Made fixes for new optimization warnings from gcc 4.7.0. The compiler
4143 performs an optimization which is safe; however it then warns about it.
4144 Changing the type of 'palette_number' in pngvalid.c removes the warning.
4145 Do not depend upon a GCC feature macro being available for use in generating
4146 the linker mapfile symbol prefix.
4147 Improved performance of new do_check_palette_indexes() function (only
4148 update the value when it actually increases, move test for whether
4149 the check is wanted out of the function.
4151 Version 1.6.0beta24 [June 7, 2012]
4152 Don't check palette indexes if num_palette is 0 (as it can be in MNG files).
4154 Version 1.6.0beta25 [June 16, 2012]
4155 Revised png_set_keep_unknown_chunks() so num_chunks < 0 means ignore all
4156 unknown chunks and all known chunks except for IHDR, PLTE, tRNS, IDAT,
4157 and IEND. Previously it only meant ignore all unknown chunks, the
4158 same as num_chunks == 0. Revised png_image_skip_unused_chunks() to
4159 provide a list of chunks to be processed instead of a list of chunks to
4160 ignore. Revised contrib/gregbook/readpng2.c accordingly.
4162 Version 1.6.0beta26 [July 10, 2012]
4163 Removed scripts/makefile.cegcc from the *.zip and *.7z distributions; it
4164 depends on configure, which is not included in those archives.
4165 Moved scripts/chkfmt to contrib/tools.
4166 Changed "a+w" to "u+w" in Makefile.in to fix CVE-2012-3386.
4168 Version 1.6.0beta27 [August 11, 2012]
4169 Do not compile PNG_DEPRECATED, PNG_ALLOC and PNG_PRIVATE when __GNUC__ < 3.
4170 Do not use __restrict when GNUC is <= 3.1
4171 Removed references to png_zalloc() and png_zfree() from the manual.
4172 Fixed configurations where floating point is completely disabled. Because
4173 of the changes to support symbol prefixing PNG_INTERNAL_FUNCTION declares
4174 floating point APIs during libpng builds even if they are completely
4175 disabled. This requires the png floating point types (png_double*) to be
4176 declared even though the functions are never actually defined. This
4177 change provides a dummy definition so that the declarations work, yet any
4178 implementation will fail to compile because of an incomplete type.
4179 Re-eliminated the use of strcpy() in pngtest.c. An unncessary use of
4180 strcpy() was accidentally re-introduced in libpng16; this change replaces
4182 Eliminated use of png_sizeof(); use sizeof() instead.
4183 Use a consistent style for (sizeof type) and (sizeof (array))
4184 Cleanup of png_set_filler(). This function does very different things on
4185 read and write. In libpng 1.6 the two cases can be distinguished and
4186 considerable code cleanup, and extra error checking, is possible. This
4187 makes calls on the write side that have no effect be ignored with a
4188 png_app_error(), which can be disabled in the app using
4189 png_set_benign_errors(), and removes the spurious use of usr_channels
4191 Insist on autotools 1.12.1 for git builds because there are security issues
4192 with 1.12 and insisting on anything less would allow 1.12 to be used.
4193 Removed info_ptr->signature[8] from WRITE-only builds.
4194 Add some conditions for compiling png_fixed(). This is a small function
4195 but it requires "-lm" on some platforms.
4196 Cause pngtest --strict to fail on any warning from libpng (not just errors)
4197 and cause it not to fail at the comparison step if libpng lacks support
4198 for writing chunks that it reads from the input (currently only implemented
4199 for compressed text chunks).
4200 Make all three "make check" test programs work without READ or WRITE support.
4201 Now "make check" will succeed even if libpng is compiled with -DPNG_NO_READ
4202 or -DPNG_NO_WRITE. The tests performed are reduced, but the basic reading
4203 and writing of a PNG file is always tested by one or more of the tests.
4204 Consistently use strlen(), memset(), memcpy(), and memcmp() instead of the
4205 png_strlen(), png_memset(), png_memcpy(), and png_memcmp() macros.
4206 Removed the png_sizeof(), png_strlen(), png_memset(), png_memcpy(), and
4207 png_memcmp() macros.
4208 Work around gcc 3.x and Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 complaints. Both object
4209 to the split initialization of num_chunks.
4211 Version 1.6.0beta28 [August 29, 2012]
4212 Unknown handling fixes and clean up. This adds more correct option
4213 control of the unknown handling, corrects the pre-existing bug where
4214 the per-chunk 'keep' setting is ignored and makes it possible to skip
4215 IDAT chunks in the sequential reader (broken in earlier 1.6 versions).
4216 There is a new test program, test-unknown.c, which is a work in progress
4217 (not currently part of the test suite). Comments in the header files now
4218 explain how the unknown handling works.
4219 Allow fine grain control of unknown chunk APIs. This change allows
4220 png_set_keep_unknown_chunks() to be turned off if not required and causes
4221 both read and write to behave appropriately (on read this is only possible
4222 if the user callback is used to handle unknown chunks). The change
4223 also removes the support for storing unknown chunks in the info_struct
4224 if the only unknown handling enabled is via the callback, allowing libpng
4225 to be configured with callback reading and none of the unnecessary code.
4226 Corrected fix for unknown handling in pngtest. This reinstates the
4227 libpng handling of unknown chunks other than vpAg and sTER (including
4228 unsafe-to-copy chunks which were dropped before) and eliminates the
4229 repositioning of vpAg and sTER in pngtest.png by changing pngtest.png
4230 (so the chunks are where libpng would put them).
4231 Added "tunknown" test and corrected a logic error in png_handle_unknown()
4232 when SAVE support is absent. Moved the shell test scripts for
4233 contrib/libtests from the libpng top directory to contrib/libtests.
4234 png_handle_unknown() must always read or skip the chunk, if
4235 SAVE_UNKNOWN_CHUNKS is turned off *and* the application does not set
4236 a user callback an unknown chunk will not be read, leading to a read
4237 error, which was revealed by the "tunknown" test.
4238 Cleaned up and corrected ICC profile handling.
4239 contrib/libtests/makepng: corrected 'rgb' and 'gray' cases. profile_error
4240 messages could be truncated; made a correct buffer size calculation and
4241 adjusted pngerror.c appropriately. png_icc_check_* checking improved;
4242 changed the functions to receive the correct color type of the PNG on read
4243 or write and check that it matches the color space of the profile (despite
4244 what the comments said before, there is danger in assuming the app will
4245 cope correctly with an RGB profile on a grayscale image and, since it
4246 violates the PNG spec, allowing it is certain to produce inconsistent
4247 app behavior and might even cause app crashes.) Check that profiles
4248 contain the tags needed to process the PNG (tags all required by the ICC
4249 spec). Removed unused PNG_STATIC from pngpriv.h.
4251 Version 1.6.0beta29 [September 4, 2012]
4252 Fixed the simplified API example programs to add the *colormap parameter
4253 to several of he API and improved the error message if the version field
4255 Added contrib/examples/* to the *.zip and *.7z distributions.
4256 Updated simplified API synopses and description of the png_image structure
4258 Made makepng and pngtest produce identical PNGs, add "--relaxed" option
4259 to pngtest. The "--relaxed" option turns off the benign errors that are
4260 enabled by default in pre-RC builds. makepng can now write ICC profiles
4261 where the length has not been extended to a multiple of 4, and pngtest
4262 now intercepts all libpng errors, allowing the previously-introduced
4263 "--strict test" on no warnings to actually work.
4264 Improved ICC profile handling including cHRM chunk generation and fixed
4265 Cygwin+MSVC build errors. The ICC profile handling now includes more
4266 checking. Several errors that caused rejection of the profile are now
4267 handled with a warning in such a way that the invalid profiles will be
4268 read by default in release (but not pre-RC) builds but will not be
4269 written by default. The easy part of handling the cHRM chunk is written,
4270 where the ICC profile contains the required data. The more difficult
4271 part plus guessing a gAMA value requires code to pass selected RGB values
4272 through the profile.
4274 Version 1.6.0beta30 [October 24, 2012]
4275 Changed ICC profile matrix/vector types to not depend on array type rules.
4276 By the ANSI-C standard the new types should be identical to the previous
4277 versions, and all known versions of gcc tested with the previous versions
4278 except for GCC-4.2.1 work with this version. The change makes the ANSI-C
4279 rule that const applied to an array of elements applies instead to the
4280 elements in the array moot by explicitly applying const to the base
4281 elements of the png_icc_matrix and png_icc_vector types. The accidental
4282 (harmless) 'const' previously applied to the parameters of two of the
4283 functions have also been removed.
4284 Added a work around for GCC 4.2 optimization bug.
4285 Marked the broken (bad white point) original HP sRGB profiles correctly and
4287 Added -DZ_SOLO to contrib/pngminim/*/makefile to work with zlib-1.2.7
4288 Use /MDd for vstudio debug builds. Also added pngunkown to the vstudio
4289 builds, fixed build errors and corrected a minor exit code error in
4290 pngvalid if the 'touch' file name is invalid.
4291 Add updated WARNING file to projects/vstudio from libpng 1.5/vstudio
4292 Fixed build when using #define PNG_NO_READ_GAMMA in png_do_compose() in
4293 pngrtran.c (Domani Hannes).
4295 Version 1.6.0beta31 [November 1, 2012]
4296 Undid the erroneous change to vstudio/pngvalid build in libpng-1.6.0beta30.
4297 Made pngvalid so that it will build outside the libpng source tree.
4298 Made builds -DPNG_NO_READ_GAMMA compile (the unit tests still fail).
4299 Made PNG_NO_READ_GAMMA switch off interfaces that depend on READ_GAMMA.
4300 Prior to 1.6.0 switching off READ_GAMMA did unpredictable things to the
4301 interfaces that use it (specifically, png_do_background in 1.4 would
4302 simply display composite for grayscale images but do composition
4303 with the incorrect arithmetic for color ones). In 1.6 the semantic
4304 of -DPNG_NO_READ_GAMMA is changed to simply disable any interface that
4305 depends on it; this obliges people who set it to consider whether they
4306 really want it off if they happen to use any of the interfaces in
4307 question (typically most users who disable it won't).
4308 Fixed GUIDs in projects/vstudio. Some were duplicated or missing,
4309 resulting in VS2010 having to update the files.
4310 Removed non-working ICC profile support code that was mostly added to
4311 libpng-1.6.0beta29 and beta30. There was too much code for too little
4312 gain; implementing full ICC color correction may be desireable but is left
4315 Version 1.6.0beta32 [November 25, 2012]
4316 Fixed an intermittent SEGV in pngstest due to an uninitialized array element.
4317 Added the ability for contrib/libtests/makepng.c to make a PNG with just one
4318 color. This is useful for debugging pngstest color inaccuracy reports.
4319 Fixed error checking in the simplified write API (Olaf van der Spek)
4320 Made png_user_version_check() ok to use with libpng version 1.10.x and later.
4322 Version 1.6.0beta33 [December 15, 2012]
4323 Fixed typo in png.c (PNG_SET_CHUNK_MALLOC_MAX should be PNG_CHUNK_MALLOC_MAX)
4324 that causes the MALLOC_MAX limit not to work (John Bowler)
4325 Change png_warning() to png_app_error() in pngwrite.c and comment the
4326 fall-through condition.
4327 Change png_warning() to png_app_warning() in png_write_tRNS().
4328 Rearranged the ARM-NEON optimizations: Isolated the machine specific code
4329 to the hardware subdirectory and added comments to pngrutil.c so that
4330 implementors of other optimizations know what to do.
4331 Fixed cases of unquoted DESTDIR in Makefile.am
4332 Rebuilt Makefile.in, etc., with autoconf-2.69 and automake-1.12.5.
4334 Version 1.6.0beta34 [December 19, 2012]
4335 Cleaned up whitespace in the synopsis portion of the manpage "libpng.3"
4336 Disassembled the version number in scripts/options.awk (necessary for
4339 Version 1.6.0beta35 [December 23, 2012]
4340 Made default Zlib compression settings be configurable. This adds #defines to
4341 pnglibconf.h to control the defaults.
4342 Fixed Windows build issues, enabled ARM compilation. Various warnings issued
4343 by earlier versions of GCC fixed for Cygwin and Min/GW (which both use old
4344 GCCs.) ARM support is enabled by default in zlib.props (unsupported by
4345 Microsoft) and ARM compilation is made possible by deleting the check for
4346 x86. The test programs cannot be run because they are not signed.
4348 Version 1.6.0beta36 [January 2, 2013]
4349 Discontinued distributing libpng-1.x.x.tar.bz2.
4350 Discontinued distributing libpng-1.7.0-1.6.0-diff.txt and similar.
4351 Rebuilt configure with autoconf-2.69 (inadvertently not done in beta33)
4352 Fixed 'make distcheck' on SUN OS - libpng.so was not being removed
4354 Version 1.6.0beta37 [January 10, 2013]
4355 Fixed conceivable but difficult to repro overflow. Also added two test
4356 programs to generate and test a PNG which should have the problem.
4358 Version 1.6.0beta39 [January 19, 2013]
4359 Again corrected attempt at overflow detection in png_set_unknown_chunks()
4360 (CVE-2013-7353). Added overflow detection in png_set_sPLT() and
4361 png_set_text_2() (CVE-2013-7354).
4363 Version 1.6.0beta40 [January 20, 2013]
4364 Use consistent handling of overflows in text, sPLT and unknown png_set_* APIs
4366 Version 1.6.0rc01 [January 26, 2013]
4369 Version 1.6.0rc02 [February 4, 2013]
4370 Added png_get_palette_max() function.
4372 Version 1.6.0rc03 [February 5, 2013]
4373 Fixed the png_get_palette_max API.
4375 Version 1.6.0rc04 [February 7, 2013]
4376 Turn serial tests back on (recently turned off by autotools upgrade).
4378 Version 1.6.0rc05 [February 8, 2013]
4379 Update manual about png_get_palette_max().
4381 Version 1.6.0rc06 [February 9, 2013]
4382 Fixed missing dependency in --prefix builds The intermediate
4383 internal 'prefix.h' file can only be generated correctly after
4384 pnglibconf.h, however the dependency was not in Makefile.am. The
4385 symptoms are unpredictable depending on the order make chooses to
4386 build pngprefix.h and pnglibconf.h, often the error goes unnoticed
4387 because there is a system pnglibconf.h to use instead.
4389 Version 1.6.0rc07 [February 10, 2013]
4390 Enclosed the new png_get_palette_max in #ifdef PNG_GET_PALETTE_MAX_SUPPORTED
4391 block, and revised pnglibconf.h and pnglibconf.h.prebuilt accordingly.
4393 Version 1.6.0rc08 [February 10, 2013]
4394 Fix typo in png.h #ifdef
4396 Version 1.6.0 [February 14, 2013]
4399 Version 1.6.1beta01 [February 16, 2013]
4400 Made symbol prefixing work with the ARM neon optimizations. Also allow
4401 pngpriv.h to be included for preprocessor definitions only, so it can
4402 be used in non-C/C++ files. Back ported from libpng 1.7.
4403 Made sRGB check numbers consistent.
4404 Ported libpng 1.5 options.awk/dfn file handling to 1.6, fixed one bug.
4405 Removed cc -E workround, corrected png_get_palette_max API Tested on
4406 SUN OS cc 5.9, which demonstrates the tokenization problem previously
4407 avoided by using /lib/cpp. Since all .dfn output is now protected in
4408 double quotes unless it is to be macro substituted the fix should
4410 Enabled parallel tests - back ported from libpng-1.7.
4411 scripts/pnglibconf.dfa formatting improvements back ported from libpng17.
4412 Fixed a race condition in the creation of the build 'scripts' directory
4413 while building with a parallel make.
4414 Use approved/supported Android method to check for NEON, use Linux/POSIX
4415 1003.1 API to check /proc/self/auxv avoiding buffer allocation and other
4416 library calls (ported from libpng15).
4418 Version 1.6.1beta02 [February 19, 2013]
4419 Use parentheses more consistently in "#if defined(MACRO)" tests.
4421 Reenabled code to allow zero length PLTE chunks for MNG.
4423 Version 1.6.1beta03 [February 22, 2013]
4424 Fixed ALIGNED_MEMORY support.
4425 Added a new configure option:
4426 --enable-arm-neon=always will stop the run-time checks. New checks
4427 within arm/arm_init.c will cause the code not to be compiled unless
4428 __ARM_NEON__ is set. This should make it fail safe (if someone asks
4429 for it on then the build will fail if it can't be done.)
4430 Updated the INSTALL document.
4432 Version 1.6.1beta04 [February 27, 2013]
4433 Revised INSTALL to recommend using CPPFLAGS instead of INCLUDES.
4434 Revised scripts/makefile.freebsd to respect ZLIBLIB and ZLIBINC.
4435 Revised scripts/dfn.awk to work with the buggy MSYS awk that has trouble
4436 with CRLF line endings.
4438 Version 1.6.1beta05 [March 1, 2013]
4439 Avoid a possible memory leak in contrib/gregbook/readpng.c
4441 Version 1.6.1beta06 [March 4, 2013]
4442 Better documentation of unknown handling API interactions.
4443 Corrected Android builds and corrected libpng.vers with symbol
4444 prefixing. It also makes those tests compile and link on Android.
4445 Added an API png_set_option() to set optimization options externally,
4446 providing an alternative and general solution for the non-portable
4447 run-time tests used by the ARM Neon code, using the PNG_ARM_NEON option.
4448 The order of settings vs options in pnglibconf.h is reversed to allow
4449 settings to depend on options and options can now set (or override) the
4450 defaults for settings.
4452 Version 1.6.1beta07 [March 7, 2013]
4453 Corrected simplified API default gamma for color-mapped output, added
4454 a flag to change default. In 1.6.0 when the simplified API was used
4455 to produce color-mapped output from an input image with no gamma
4456 information the gamma assumed for the input could be different from
4457 that assumed for non-color-mapped output. In particular 16-bit depth
4458 input files were assumed to be sRGB encoded, whereas in the 'direct'
4459 case they were assumed to have linear data. This was an error. The
4460 fix makes the simplified API treat all input files the same way and
4461 adds a new flag to the png_image::flags member to allow the
4462 application/user to specify that 16-bit files contain sRGB data
4463 rather than the default linear.
4464 Fixed bugs in the pngpixel and makepng test programs.
4466 Version 1.6.1beta08 [March 7, 2013]
4467 Fixed CMakelists.txt to allow building a single variant of the library
4469 Introduced a PNG_LIB_TARGETS variable that lists all activated library
4470 targets. It is an error if this variable ends up empty, ie. you have
4471 to build at least one library variant.
4472 Made the *_COPY targets only depend on library targets actually being build.
4473 Use PNG_LIB_TARGETS to unify a code path.
4474 Changed the CREATE_SYMLINK macro to expect the full path to a file as the
4475 first argument. When symlinking the filename component of that path is
4476 determined and used as the link target.
4477 Use copy_if_different in the CREATE_SYMLINK macro.
4479 Version 1.6.1beta09 [March 13, 2013]
4480 Eliminated two warnings from the Intel C compiler. The warnings are
4481 technically valid, although a reasonable treatment of division would
4482 show it to be incorrect.
4484 Version 1.6.1rc01 [March 21, 2013]
4487 Version 1.6.1 [March 28, 2013]
4490 Version 1.6.2beta01 [April 14, 2013]
4491 Updated documentation of 1.5.x to 1.6.x changes in iCCP chunk handling.
4492 Fixed incorrect warning of excess deflate data. End condition - the
4493 warning would be produced if the end of the deflate stream wasn't read
4494 in the last row. The warning is harmless.
4495 Corrected the test on user transform changes on read. It was in the
4496 png_set of the transform function, but that doesn't matter unless the
4497 transform function changes the rowbuf size, and that is only valid if
4498 transform_info is called.
4499 Corrected a misplaced closing bracket in contrib/libtests/pngvalid.c
4501 Corrected length written to uncompressed iTXt chunks (Samuli Suominen).
4502 Bug was introduced in libpng-1.6.0.
4504 Version 1.6.2rc01 [April 18, 2013]
4505 Added contrib/tools/fixitxt.c, to repair the erroneous iTXt chunk length
4506 written by libpng-1.6.0 and 1.6.1.
4507 Disallow storing sRGB information when the sRGB is not supported.
4509 Version 1.6.2rc02 [April 18, 2013]
4510 Merge pngtest.c with libpng-1.7.0
4512 Version 1.6.2rc03 [April 22, 2013]
4513 Trivial spelling cleanup.
4515 Version 1.6.2rc04 and 1.6.2rc05 [omitted]
4517 Version 1.6.2rc06 [April 24, 2013]
4518 Reverted to version 1.6.2rc03. Recent changes to arm/neon support
4519 have been ported to libpng-1.7.0beta09 and will reappear in version
4522 Version 1.6.2 [April 25, 2013]
4525 Version 1.6.3beta01 [April 25, 2013]
4526 Revised stack marking in arm/filter_neon.S and configure.ac.
4527 Ensure that NEON filter stuff is completely disabled when switched 'off'.
4528 Previously the ARM NEON specific files were still built if the option
4529 was switched 'off' as opposed to being explicitly disabled.
4531 Version 1.6.3beta02 [April 26, 2013]
4532 Test for 'arm*' not just 'arm' in the host_cpu configure variable.
4533 Rebuilt the configure scripts.
4535 Version 1.6.3beta03 [April 30, 2013]
4536 Expanded manual paragraph about writing private chunks, particularly
4537 the need to call png_set_keep_unknown_chunks() when writing them.
4538 Avoid dereferencing NULL pointer possibly returned from
4539 png_create_write_struct() (Andrew Church).
4541 Version 1.6.3beta05 [May 9, 2013]
4542 Calculate our own zlib windowBits when decoding rather than trusting the
4543 CMF bytes in the PNG datastream.
4544 Added an option to force maximum window size for inflating, which was
4545 the behavior of libpng15 and earlier, via a new PNG_MAXIMUM_INFLATE_WINDOW
4546 option for png_set_options().
4547 Added png-fix-itxt and png-fix-too-far-back to the built programs and
4548 removed warnings from the source code and timepng that are revealed as
4550 Detect wrong libpng versions linked to png-fix-too-far-back, which currently
4551 only works with libpng versions that can be made to reliably fail when
4552 the deflate data contains an out-of-window reference. This means only
4554 Fixed gnu issues: g++ needs a static_cast, gcc 4.4.7 has a broken warning
4555 message which it is easier to work round than ignore.
4556 Updated contrib/pngminus/pnm2png.c (Paul Stewart):
4558 Ignore "#" delimited comments in input file to pnm2png.c.
4559 Fixed whitespace handling
4560 Added a call to png_set_packing()
4561 Initialize dimension values so if sscanf fails at least we have known
4563 Attempt to detect configuration issues with png-fix-too-far-back, which
4564 requires both the correct libpng and the correct zlib to function
4566 Check ZLIB_VERNUM for mismatches, enclose #error in quotes
4567 Added information in the documentation about problems with and fixes for
4568 the bad CRC and bad iTXt chunk situations.
4570 Version 1.6.3beta06 [May 12, 2013]
4571 Allow contrib/pngminus/pnm2png.c to compile without WRITE_INVERT and
4572 WRITE_PACK supported (writes error message that it can't read P1 or
4574 Improved png-fix-too-far-back usage message, added --suffix option.
4575 Revised contrib/pngminim/*/makefile to generate pnglibconf.h with the
4576 right zlib header files.
4577 Separated CPPFLAGS and CFLAGS in contrib/pngminim/*/makefile
4579 Version 1.6.3beta07 [June 8, 2013]
4580 Removed a redundant test in png_set_IHDR().
4581 Added set(CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES ...) to CMakeLists.txt (Andrew Hundt)
4582 Deleted set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE) block from CMakeLists.txt
4583 Enclose the prototypes for the simplified write API in
4584 #ifdef PNG_STDIO_SUPPORTED/#endif
4585 Make ARM NEON support work at compile time (not just configure time).
4586 This moves the test on __ARM_NEON__ into pngconf.h to avoid issues when
4587 using a compiler that compiles for multiple architectures at one time.
4588 Removed PNG_FILTER_OPTIMIZATIONS and PNG_ARM_NEON_SUPPORTED from
4589 pnglibconf.h, allowing more of the decisions to be made internally
4590 (pngpriv.h) during the compile. Without this, symbol prefixing is broken
4591 under certain circumstances on ARM platforms. Now only the API parts of
4592 the optimizations ('check' vs 'api') are exposed in the public header files
4593 except that the new setting PNG_ARM_NEON_OPT documents how libpng makes the
4594 decision about whether or not to use the optimizations.
4595 Protect symbol prefixing against CC/CPPFLAGS/CFLAGS useage.
4596 Previous iOS/Xcode fixes for the ARM NEON optimizations moved the test
4597 on __ARM_NEON__ from configure time to compile time. This breaks symbol
4598 prefixing because the definition of the special png_init_filter_functions
4599 call was hidden at configure time if the relevant compiler arguments are
4600 passed in CFLAGS as opposed to CC. This change attempts to avoid all
4601 the confusion that would result by declaring the init function even when
4602 it is not used, so that it will always get prefixed.
4604 Version 1.6.3beta08 [June 18, 2013]
4605 Revised libpng.3 so that "doclifter" can process it.
4607 Version 1.6.3beta09 [June 27, 2013]
4608 Revised example.c to illustrate use of PNG_DEFAULT_sRGB and PNG_GAMMA_MAC_18
4609 as parameters for png_set_gamma(). These have been available since
4611 Renamed contrib/tools/png-fix-too-far-back.c to pngfix.c and revised it
4612 to check all compressed chunks known to libpng.
4614 Version 1.6.3beta10 [July 5, 2013]
4615 Updated documentation to show default behavior of benign errors correctly.
4616 Only compile ARM code when PNG_READ_SUPPORTED is defined.
4617 Fixed undefined behavior in contrib/tools/pngfix.c and added new strip
4618 option. pngfix relied on undefined behavior and even a simple change from
4619 gcc to g++ caused it to fail. The new strip option 'unsafe' has been
4620 implemented and is the default if --max is given. Option names have
4621 been clarified, with --strip=transform now stripping the bKGD chunk,
4622 which was stripped previously with --strip=unused.
4623 Added all documented chunk types to pngpriv.h
4624 Unified pngfix.c source with libpng17.
4626 Version 1.6.3rc01 [July 11, 2013]
4629 Version 1.6.3 [July 18, 2013]
4630 Revised manual about changes in iTXt chunk handling made in libpng-1.6.0.
4631 Added "/* SAFE */" comments in pngrutil.c and pngrtran.c where warnings
4632 may be erroneously issued by code-checking applications.
4634 Version 1.6.4beta01 [August 21, 2013]
4635 Added information about png_set_options() to the manual.
4636 Delay calling png_init_filter_functions() until a row with nonzero filter
4639 Version 1.6.4beta02 [August 30, 2013]
4640 Fixed inconsistent conditional compilation of png_chunk_unknown_handling()
4641 prototype, definition, and usage. Made it depend on
4642 PNG_HANDLE_AS_UNKNOWN_SUPPORTED everywhere.
4644 Version 1.6.4rc01 [September 5, 2013]
4647 Version 1.6.4 [September 12, 2013]
4650 Version 1.6.5 [September 14, 2013]
4651 Removed two stray lines of code from arm/arm_init.c.
4653 Version 1.6.6 [September 16, 2013]
4654 Removed two stray lines of code from arm/arm_init.c, again.
4656 Version 1.6.7beta01 [September 30, 2013]
4657 Revised unknown chunk code to correct several bugs in the NO_SAVE_/NO_WRITE
4659 Allow HANDLE_AS_UNKNOWN to work when other options are configured off. Also
4660 fixed the pngminim makefiles to work when $(MAKEFLAGS) contains stuff
4661 which terminates the make options (as by default in recent versions of
4663 Avoid up-cast warnings in pngvalid.c. On ARM the alignment requirements of
4664 png_modifier are greater than that of png_store and as a consequence
4665 compilation of pngvalid.c results in a warning about increased alignment
4666 requirements because of the bare cast to (png_modifier*). The code is safe,
4667 because the pointer is known to point to a stack allocated png_modifier,
4668 but this change avoids the warning.
4669 Fixed default behavior of ARM_NEON_API. If the ARM NEON API option was
4670 compiled without the CHECK option it defaulted to on, not off.
4671 Check user callback behavior in pngunknown.c. Previous versions compiled
4672 if SAVE_UNKNOWN was not available but did nothing since the callback
4673 was never implemented.
4674 Merged pngunknown.c with 1.7 version and back ported 1.7 improvements/fixes
4676 Version 1.6.7beta02 [October 12, 2013]
4677 Made changes for compatibility with automake 1.14:
4678 1) Added the 'compile' program to the list of programs that must be cleaned
4680 2) Added 'subdir-objects' which causes .c files in sub-directories to be
4681 compiled such that the corresponding .o files are also in the
4682 sub-directory. This is because automake 1.14 warns that the
4683 current behavior of compiling to the top level directory may be removed
4685 3) Updated dependencies on pnglibconf.h to match the new .o locations and
4686 added all the files in contrib/libtests and contrib/tools that depend
4688 4) Added 'BUILD_SOURCES = pnglibconf.h'; this is the automake recommended
4689 way of handling the dependencies of sources that are machine generated;
4690 unfortunately it only works if the user does 'make all' or 'make check',
4691 so the dependencies (3) are still required.
4692 Cleaned up (char*) casts of zlib messages. The latest version of the Intel C
4693 compiler complains about casting a string literal as (char*), so copied the
4694 treatment of z_const from the library code into pngfix.c
4695 Simplified error message code in pngunknown. The simplification has the
4696 useful side effect of avoiding a bogus warning generated by the latest
4697 version of the Intel C compiler (it objects to
4698 condition ? string-literal : string-literal).
4699 Make autogen.sh work with automake 1.13 as well as 1.14. Do this by always
4700 removing the 1.14 'compile' script but never checking for it.
4702 Version 1.6.7beta03 [October 19, 2013]
4703 Added ARMv8 support (James Yu <james.yu at linaro.org>). Added file
4704 arm/filter_neon_intrinsics.c; enable with -mfpu=neon.
4705 Revised pngvalid to generate size images with as many filters as it can
4706 manage, limited by the number of rows.
4707 Cleaned up ARM NEON compilation handling. The tests are now in pngpriv.h
4708 and detect the broken GCC compilers.
4710 Version 1.6.7beta04 [October 26, 2013]
4711 Allow clang derived from older GCC versions to use ARM intrinsics. This
4712 causes all clang builds that use -mfpu=neon to use the intrinsics code,
4713 not the assembler code. This has only been tested on iOS 7. It may be
4714 necessary to exclude some earlier clang versions but this seems unlikely.
4715 Changed NEON implementation selection mechanism. This allows assembler
4716 or intrinsics to be turned on at compile time during the build by defining
4717 PNG_ARM_NEON_IMPLEMENTATION to the correct value (2 or 1). This macro
4718 is undefined by default and the build type is selected in pngpriv.h.
4720 Version 1.6.7rc01 [November 2, 2013]
4723 Version 1.6.7rc02 [November 7, 2013]
4724 Fixed #include in filter_neon_intrinsics.c and ctype macros. The ctype char
4725 checking macros take an unsigned char argument, not a signed char.
4727 Version 1.6.7 [November 14, 2013]
4730 Version 1.6.8beta01 [November 24, 2013]
4731 Moved prototype for png_handle_unknown() in pngpriv.h outside of
4732 the #ifdef PNG_SET_UNKNOWN_CHUNKS_SUPPORTED/#endif block.
4733 Added "-Wall" to CFLAGS in contrib/pngminim/*/makefile
4734 Conditionally compile some unused functions reported by -Wall in
4736 Fixed 'minimal' builds. Various obviously useful minimal configurations
4737 don't build because of missing contrib/libtests test programs and
4738 overly complex dependencies in scripts/pnglibconf.dfa. This change
4739 adds contrib/conftest/*.dfa files that can be used in automatic build
4740 scripts to ensure that these configurations continue to build.
4741 Enabled WRITE_INVERT and WRITE_PACK in contrib/pngminim/encoder.
4742 Fixed pngvalid 'fail' function declaration on the Intel C Compiler.
4743 This reverts to the previous 'static' implementation and works round
4744 the 'unused static function' warning by using PNG_UNUSED().
4746 Version 1.6.8beta02 [November 30, 2013]
4747 Removed or marked PNG_UNUSED some harmless "dead assignments" reported
4748 by clang scan-build.
4749 Changed tabs to 3 spaces in png_debug macros and changed '"%s"m'
4750 to '"%s" m' to improve portability among compilers.
4751 Changed png_free_default() to free() in pngtest.c
4753 Version 1.6.8rc01 [December 12, 2013]
4754 Tidied up pngfix inits and fixed pngtest no-write builds.
4756 Version 1.6.8rc02 [December 14, 2013]
4757 Handle zero-length PLTE chunk or NULL palette with png_error()
4758 instead of png_chunk_report(), which by default issues a warning
4759 rather than an error, leading to later reading from a NULL pointer
4760 (png_ptr->palette) in png_do_expand_palette(). This is CVE-2013-6954
4761 and VU#650142. Libpng-1.6.1 through 1.6.7 are vulnerable.
4762 Libpng-1.6.0 and earlier do not have this bug.
4764 Version 1.6.8 [December 19, 2013]
4767 Version 1.6.9beta01 [December 26, 2013]
4768 Bookkeeping: Moved functions around (no changes). Moved transform
4769 function definitions before the place where they are called so that
4770 they can be made static. Move the intrapixel functions and the
4771 grayscale palette builder out of the png?tran.c files. The latter
4772 isn't a transform function and is no longer used internally, and the
4773 former MNG specific functions are better placed in pngread/pngwrite.c
4774 Made transform implementation functions static. This makes the internal
4775 functions called by png_do_{read|write}_transformations static. On an
4776 x86-64 DLL build (Gentoo Linux) this reduces the size of the text
4777 segment of the DLL by 1208 bytes, about 0.6%. It also simplifies
4778 maintenance by removing the declarations from pngpriv.h and allowing
4779 easier changes to the internal interfaces.
4780 Rebuilt configure scripts with automake-1.14.1 and autoconf-2.69
4781 in the tar distributions.
4783 Version 1.6.9beta02 [January 1, 2014]
4784 Added checks for libpng 1.5 to pngvalid.c. This supports the use of
4785 this version of pngvalid in libpng 1.5
4786 Merged with pngvalid.c from libpng-1.7 changes to create a single
4788 Removed #error macro from contrib/tools/pngfix.c (Thomas Klausner).
4789 Merged pngrio.c, pngtrans.c, pngwio.c, and pngerror.c with libpng-1.7.0
4790 Merged libpng-1.7.0 changes to make no-interlace configurations work
4792 Revised pngvalid.c to support libpng 1.5, which does not support the
4793 PNG_MAXIMUM_INFLATE_WINDOW option, so #define it out when appropriate in
4795 Allow unversioned links created on install to be disabled in configure.
4796 In configure builds 'make install' changes/adds links like png.h
4797 and libpng.a to point to the newly installed, versioned, files (e.g.
4798 libpng17/png.h and libpng17.a). Three new configure options and some
4799 rearrangement of Makefile.am allow creation of these links to be disabled.
4801 Version 1.6.9beta03 [January 10, 2014]
4802 Removed potentially misleading warning from png_check_IHDR().
4804 Version 1.6.9beta04 [January 20, 2014]
4805 Updated scripts/makefile.* to use CPPFLAGS (Cosmin).
4806 Added clang attribute support (Cosmin).
4808 Version 1.6.9rc01 [January 28, 2014]
4811 Version 1.6.9rc02 [January 30, 2014]
4812 Quiet an uninitialized memory warning from VC2013 in png_get_png().
4814 Version 1.6.9 [February 6, 2014]
4816 Version 1.6.10beta01 [February 9, 2014]
4817 Backported changes from libpng-1.7.0beta30 and beta31:
4818 Fixed a large number of instances where PNGCBAPI was omitted from
4819 function definitions.
4820 Added pngimage test program for png_read_png() and png_write_png()
4821 with two new test scripts.
4822 Removed dependence on !PNG_READ_EXPAND_SUPPORTED for calling
4823 png_set_packing() in png_read_png().
4824 Fixed combination of ~alpha with shift. On read invert alpha, processing
4825 occurred after shift processing, which causes the final values to be
4826 outside the range that should be produced by the shift. Reversing the
4827 order on read makes the two transforms work together correctly and mirrors
4828 the order used on write.
4829 Do not read invalid sBIT chunks. Previously libpng only checked sBIT
4830 values on write, so a malicious PNG writer could therefore cause
4831 the read code to return an invalid sBIT chunk, which might lead to
4832 application errors or crashes. Such chunks are now skipped (with
4833 chunk_benign_error).
4834 Make png_read_png() and png_write_png() prototypes in png.h depend
4835 upon PNG_READ_SUPPORTED and PNG_WRITE_SUPPORTED.
4836 Support builds with unsupported PNG_TRANSFORM_* values. All of the
4837 PNG_TRANSFORM_* values are always defined in png.h and, because they
4838 are used for both read and write in some cases, it is not reliable
4839 to #if out ones that are totally unsupported. This change adds error
4840 detection in png_read_image() and png_write_image() to do a
4841 png_app_error() if the app requests something that cannot be done
4842 and it adds corresponding code to pngimage.c to handle such options
4843 by not attempting to test them.
4845 Version 1.6.10beta02 [February 23, 2014]
4846 Moved redefines of png_error(), png_warning(), png_chunk_error(),
4847 and png_chunk_warning() from pngpriv.h to png.h to make them visible
4848 to libpng-calling applications.
4849 Moved OS dependent code from arm/arm_init.c, to allow the included
4850 implementation of the ARM NEON discovery function to be set at
4851 build-time and provide sample implementations from the current code in the
4852 contrib/arm-neon subdirectory. The __linux__ code has also been changed to
4853 compile and link on Android by using /proc/cpuinfo, and the old linux code
4854 is in contrib/arm-neon/linux-auxv.c. The new code avoids POSIX and Linux
4855 dependencies apart from opening /proc/cpuinfo and is C90 compliant.
4856 Check for info_ptr == NULL early in png_read_end() so we don't need to
4857 run all the png_handle_*() and depend on them to return if info_ptr == NULL.
4858 This improves the performance of png_read_end(png_ptr, NULL) and makes
4859 it more robust against future programming errors.
4860 Check for __has_extension before using it in pngconf.h, to
4861 support older Clang versions (Jeremy Sequoia).
4862 Treat CRC error handling with png_set_crc_action(), instead of with
4863 png_set_benign_errors(), which has been the case since libpng-1.6.0beta18.
4864 Use a user warning handler in contrib/gregbook/readpng2.c instead of default,
4865 so warnings will be put on stderr even if libpng has CONSOLE_IO disabled.
4866 Added png_ptr->process_mode = PNG_READ_IDAT_MODE in png_push_read_chunk
4867 after recognizing the IDAT chunk, which avoids an infinite loop while
4868 reading a datastream whose first IDAT chunk is of zero-length.
4869 This fixes CERT VU#684412 and CVE-2014-0333.
4870 Don't recognize known sRGB profiles as sRGB if they have been hacked,
4871 but don't reject them and don't issue a copyright violation warning.
4873 Version 1.6.10beta03 [February 25, 2014]
4874 Moved some documentation from png.h to libpng.3 and libpng-manual.txt
4875 Minor editing of contrib/arm-neon/README and contrib/examples/*.c
4877 Version 1.6.10rc01 [February 27, 2014]
4878 Fixed typos in the manual and in scripts/pnglibconf.dfa (CFLAGS -> CPPFLAGS
4879 and PNG_USR_CONFIG -> PNG_USER_CONFIG).
4881 Version 1.6.10rc02 [February 28, 2014]
4882 Removed unreachable return statement after png_chunk_error()
4885 Version 1.6.10rc03 [March 4, 2014]
4886 Un-deprecated png_data_freer().
4888 Version 1.6.10 [March 6, 2014]
4891 Version 1.6.11beta01 [March 17, 2014]
4892 Use "if (value != 0)" instead of "if (value)" consistently.
4893 Changed ZlibSrcDir from 1.2.5 to 1.2.8 in projects/vstudio.
4894 Moved configuration information from the manual to the INSTALL file.
4896 Version 1.6.11beta02 [April 6, 2014]
4897 Removed #if/#else/#endif from inside two pow() calls in pngvalid.c because
4898 they were handled improperly by Portland Group's PGI-14.1 - PGI-14.3
4899 when using its "__builtin_pow()" function.
4900 Silence 'unused parameter' build warnings (Cosmin Truta).
4901 $(CP) is now used alongside $(RM_F). Also, use 'copy' instead of 'cp'
4902 where applicable, and applied other minor makefile changes (Cosmin).
4903 Don't warn about invalid dimensions exceeding user limits (Cosmin).
4904 Allow an easy replacement of the default pre-built configuration
4905 header with a custom header, via the make PNGLIBCONF_H_PREBUILT
4908 Version 1.6.11beta03 [April 6, 2014]
4909 Fixed a typo in pngrutil.c, introduced in libpng-1.5.6, that interferes
4910 with "blocky" expansion of sub-8-bit interlaced PNG files (Eric Huss).
4911 Optionally use __builtin_bswap16() in png_do_swap().
4913 Version 1.6.11beta04 [April 19, 2014]
4914 Made progressive reading of interlaced images consistent with the
4915 behavior of the sequential reader and consistent with the manual, by
4916 moving some code out of the PNG_READ_INTERLACING_SUPPORTED blocks. The
4917 row_callback now receives the proper pass number and unexpanded rows, when
4918 png_combine_row() isn't built or used, and png_set_interlace_handling()
4920 Allow PNG_sRGB_PROFILE_CHECKING = (-1) to mean no sRGB profile checking.
4922 Version 1.6.11beta05 [April 26, 2014]
4923 Do not reject ICC V2 profiles that lack padding (Kai-Uwe Behrmann).
4924 Relocated closing bracket of the sRGB profile test loop to avoid getting
4925 "Not recognizing known sRGB profile that has been edited" warning for
4926 ICC V2 profiles that lack the MD5 signature in the profile header.
4928 Version 1.6.11beta06 [May 19, 2014]
4929 Added PNG_SKIP_sRGB_CHECK_PROFILE choice for png_set_option().
4931 Version 1.6.11rc01 [May 27, 2014]
4934 Version 1.6.11rc02 [June 3, 2014]
4935 Test ZLIB_VERNUM instead of PNG_ZLIB_VERNUM in contrib/tools/pngfix.c
4937 Version 1.6.11 [June 5, 2014]
4940 Version 1.6.12rc01 [June 6, 2014]
4941 Relocated new code from 1.6.11beta06 in png.c to a point after the
4942 declarations (Max Stepin).
4944 Version 1.6.12rc02 [June 7, 2014]
4945 Changed file permissions of contrib/tools/intgamma.sh,
4946 test-driver, and compile from 0644 to 0755 (Cosmin).
4948 Version 1.6.12rc03 [June 8, 2014]
4949 Ensure "__has_attribute()" macro exists before trying to use it with
4950 old clang compilers (MacPorts Ticket #43939).
4952 Version 1.6.12 [June 12, 2014]
4955 Version 1.6.13beta01 [July 4, 2014]
4956 Quieted -Wsign-compare and -Wclobber compiler warnings in
4957 contrib/pngminus/*.c
4958 Added "(void) png_ptr;" where needed in contrib/gregbook to quiet
4959 compiler complaints about unused pointers.
4960 Split a long output string in contrib/gregbook/rpng2-x.c.
4961 Added "PNG_SET_OPTION" requirement for sRGB chunk support to pnglibconf.dfa,
4962 Needed for write-only support (John Bowler).
4963 Changed "if defined(__ARM_NEON__)" to
4964 "if (defined(__ARM_NEON__) || defined(__ARM_NEON))" (James Wu).
4965 Fixed clang no-warning builds: png_digit was defined but never used.
4967 Version 1.6.13beta02 [July 21, 2014]
4968 Fixed an incorrect separator ("/" should be "\") in scripts/makefile.vcwin32
4969 (bug report from Wolfgang S. Kechel). Bug was introduced in libpng-1.6.11.
4970 Also fixed makefile.bc32, makefile.bor, makefile.msc, makefile.intel, and
4971 makefile.tc3 similarly.
4973 Version 1.6.13beta03 [August 3, 2014]
4974 Removed scripts/makefile.elf. It has not worked since libpng-1.5.0beta14
4975 due to elimination of the PNG_FUNCTION_EXPORT and PNG_DATA_EXPORT
4976 definitions from pngconf.h.
4977 Ensure that CMakeLists.txt makes the target "lib" directory before making
4978 symbolic link into it (SourceForge bug report #226 by Rolf Timmermans).
4980 Version 1.6.13beta04 [August 8, 2014]
4981 Added opinion that the ECCN (Export Control Classification Number) for
4982 libpng is EAR99 to the README file.
4983 Eliminated use of "$<" in makefile explicit rules, when copying
4984 $PNGLIBCONF_H_PREBUILT. This does not work on some versions of make;
4985 bug introduced in libpng version 1.6.11.
4987 Version 1.6.13rc01 [August 14, 2014]
4988 Made "ccopts" agree with "CFLAGS" in scripts/makefile.hp* and makefile.*sunu
4990 Version 1.6.13 [August 21, 2014]
4993 Version 1.6.14beta01 [September 14, 2014]
4994 Guard usage of png_ptr->options with #ifdef PNG_SET_OPTION_SUPPORTED.
4995 Do not build contrib/tools/pngfix.c when PNG_SETJMP_NOT_SUPPORTED,
4996 to allow "make" to complete without setjmp support (bug report by
4998 Add "#include <setjmp.h>" to contrib/tools/pngfix.c (John Bowler)
5000 Version 1.6.14beta02 [September 18, 2014]
5001 Use nanosleep() instead of usleep() in contrib/gregbook/rpng2-x.c
5002 because usleep() is deprecated.
5003 Define usleep() in contrib/gregbook/rpng2-x.c if not already defined
5004 in unistd.h and nanosleep() is not available; fixes error introduced
5006 Disable floating point exception handling in pngvalid.c when
5007 PNG_FLOATING_ARITHMETIC is not supported (bug report by "zootus
5008 at users.sourceforge.net").
5010 Version 1.6.14beta03 [September 19, 2014]
5011 Define FE_DIVBYZERO, FE_INVALID, and FE_OVERFLOW in pngvalid.c if not
5012 already defined. Revert floating point exception handling in pngvalid.c
5013 to version 1.6.14beta01 behavior.
5015 Version 1.6.14beta04 [September 27, 2014]
5016 Fixed incorrect handling of the iTXt compression flag in pngrutil.c
5017 (bug report by Shunsaku Hirata). Bug was introduced in libpng-1.6.0.
5019 Version 1.6.14beta05 [October 1, 2014]
5020 Added "option READ_iCCP enables READ_COMPRESSED_TEXT" to pnglibconf.dfa
5022 Version 1.6.14beta06 [October 5, 2014]
5023 Removed unused "text_len" parameter from private function png_write_zTXt().
5024 Conditionally compile some code in png_deflate_claim(), when
5025 PNG_WARNINGS_SUPPORTED and PNG_ERROR_TEXT_SUPPORTED are disabled.
5026 Replaced repeated code in pngpread.c with PNG_PUSH_SAVE_BUFFER_IF_FULL.
5027 Added "chunk iTXt enables TEXT" and "chunk zTXt enables TEXT"
5029 Removed "option READ_COMPRESSED_TEXT enables READ_TEXT" from pnglibconf.dfa,
5030 to make it possible to configure a libpng that supports iCCP but not TEXT.
5032 Version 1.6.14beta07 [October 7, 2014]
5033 Removed "option WRITE_COMPRESSED_TEXT enables WRITE_TEXT" from pnglibconf.dfa
5034 Only mark text chunks as written after successfully writing them.
5036 Version 1.6.14rc01 [October 15, 2014]
5037 Fixed some typos in comments.
5039 Version 1.6.14rc02 [October 17, 2014]
5040 Changed png_convert_to_rfc_1123() to png_convert_to_rfc_1123_buffer()
5041 in the manual, to reflect the change made in libpng-1.6.0.
5042 Updated README file to explain that direct access to the png_struct
5043 and info_struct members has not been permitted since libpng-1.5.0.
5045 Version 1.6.14 [October 23, 2014]
5048 Version 1.6.15beta01 [October 29, 2014]
5049 Changed "if (!x)" to "if (x == 0)" and "if (x)" to "if (x != 0)"
5050 Simplified png_free_data().
5051 Added missing "ptr = NULL" after some instances of png_free().
5053 Version 1.6.15beta02 [November 1, 2014]
5054 Changed remaining "if (!x)" to "if (x == 0)" and "if (x)" to "if (x != 0)"
5056 Version 1.6.15beta03 [November 3, 2014]
5057 Added PNG_USE_ARM_NEON configuration flag (Marcin Juszkiewicz).
5059 Version 1.6.15beta04 [November 4, 2014]
5060 Removed new PNG_USE_ARM_NEON configuration flag and made a one-line
5061 revision to configure.ac to support ARM on aarch64 instead (John Bowler).
5063 Version 1.6.15beta05 [November 5, 2014]
5064 Use png_get_libpng_ver(NULL) instead of PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING in
5065 example.c, pngtest.c, and applications in the contrib directory.
5066 Avoid out-of-bounds memory access in png_user_version_check().
5067 Simplified and future-proofed png_user_version_check().
5068 Fixed GCC unsigned int->float warnings. Various versions of GCC
5069 seem to generate warnings when an unsigned value is implicitly
5070 converted to double. This is probably a GCC bug but this change
5071 avoids the issue by explicitly converting to (int) where safe.
5072 Free all allocated memory in pngimage. The file buffer cache was left
5073 allocated at the end of the program, harmless but it causes memory
5074 leak reports from clang.
5075 Fixed array size calculations to avoid warnings. At various points
5076 in the code the number of elements in an array is calculated using
5077 sizeof. This generates a compile time constant of type (size_t) which
5078 is then typically assigned to an (unsigned int) or (int). Some versions
5079 of GCC on 64-bit systems warn about the apparent narrowing, even though
5080 the same compiler does apparently generate the correct, in-range,
5081 numeric constant. This adds appropriate, safe, casts to make the
5084 Version 1.6.15beta06 [November 6, 2014]
5085 Reverted use png_get_libpng_ver(NULL) instead of PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING
5086 in the manual, example.c, pngtest.c, and applications in the contrib
5087 directory. It was incorrect advice.
5089 Version 1.6.15beta07 [November 7, 2014]
5090 Removed #ifdef PNG_16BIT_SUPPORTED/#endif around png_product2(); it is
5091 needed by png_reciprocal2().
5092 Added #ifdef PNG_16BIT_SUPPORTED/#endif around png_log16bit() and
5094 Changed all "#endif /* PNG_FEATURE_SUPPORTED */" to "#endif /* FEATURE */"
5096 Version 1.6.15beta08 [November 8, 2014]
5097 More housecleaning in *.h
5099 Version 1.6.15rc01 [November 13, 2014]
5101 Version 1.6.15rc02 [November 14, 2014]
5102 The macros passed in the command line to Borland make were ignored if
5103 similarly-named macros were already defined in makefiles. This behavior
5104 is different from POSIX make and other make programs. Surround the
5105 macro definitions with ifndef guards (Cosmin).
5107 Version 1.6.15rc03 [November 16, 2014]
5108 Added "-D_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS" to CFLAGS in scripts/makefile.vcwin32.
5109 Removed the obsolete $ARCH variable from scripts/makefile.darwin.
5111 Version 1.6.15 [November 20, 2014]
5114 Version 1.6.16beta01 [December 14, 2014]
5115 Added ".align 2" to arm/filter_neon.S to support old GAS assemblers that
5116 don't do alignment correctly.
5117 Revised Makefile.am and scripts/symbols.dfn to work with MinGW/MSYS
5120 Version 1.6.16beta02 [December 15, 2014]
5121 Revised Makefile.am and scripts/*.dfn again to work with MinGW/MSYS;
5122 renamed scripts/*.dfn to scripts/*.c (John Bowler).
5124 Version 1.6.16beta03 [December 21, 2014]
5125 Quiet a "comparison always true" warning in pngstest.c (John Bowler).
5127 Version 1.6.16rc01 [December 21, 2014]
5128 Restored a test on width that was removed from png.c at libpng-1.6.9
5129 (Bug report by Alex Eubanks, CVE-2015-0973).
5131 Version 1.6.16rc02 [December 21, 2014]
5132 Undid the update to pngrutil.c in 1.6.16rc01.
5134 Version 1.6.16rc03 [December 21, 2014]
5135 Fixed an overflow in png_combine_row() with very wide interlaced images
5136 (Bug report and fix by John Bowler, CVE-2014-9495).
5138 Version 1.6.16 [December 22, 2014]
5141 Version 1.6.17beta01 [January 29, 2015]
5142 Removed duplicate PNG_SAFE_LIMITS_SUPPORTED handling from pngconf.h
5143 Corrected the width limit calculation in png_check_IHDR().
5144 Removed user limits from pngfix. Also pass NULL pointers to
5145 png_read_row to skip the unnecessary row de-interlace stuff.
5146 Added testing of png_set_packing() to pngvalid.c
5147 Regenerated configure scripts in the *.tar distributions with libtool-2.4.4
5148 Implement previously untested cases of libpng transforms in pngvalid.c
5149 Fixed byte order in png_do_read_filler() with 16-bit input. Previously
5150 the high and low bytes of the filler, from png_set_filler() or from
5151 png_set_add_alpha(), were read in the wrong order.
5152 Made the check for out-of-range values in png_set_tRNS() detect
5153 values that are exactly 2^bit_depth, and work on 16-bit platforms.
5154 Merged some parts of libpng-1.6.17beta01 and libpng-1.7.0beta47.
5155 Added #ifndef __COVERITY__ where needed in png.c, pngrutil.c and
5156 pngset.c to avoid warnings about dead code.
5157 Added "& 0xff" to many instances of expressions that are typecast
5158 to (png_byte), to avoid Coverity warnings.
5160 Version 1.6.17beta02 [February 7, 2015]
5161 Work around one more Coverity-scan dead-code warning.
5162 Do not build png_product2() when it is unused.
5164 Version 1.6.17beta03 [February 17, 2015]
5165 Display user limits in the output from pngtest.
5166 Eliminated the PNG_SAFE_LIMITS macro and restored the 1-million-column
5167 and 1-million-row default limits in pnglibconf.dfa, that can be reset
5168 by the user at build time or run time. This provides a more robust
5169 defense against DOS and as-yet undiscovered overflows.
5171 Version 1.6.17beta04 [February 21, 2015]
5172 Added PNG_WRITE_CUSTOMIZE_COMPRESSION_SUPPORTED macro, on by default.
5173 Allow user to call png_get_IHDR() with NULL arguments (Reuben Hawkins).
5174 Rebuilt configure scripts with automake-1.15 and libtool-2.4.6
5176 Version 1.6.17beta05 [February 25, 2015]
5177 Restored compiling of png_reciprocal2 with PNG_NO_16BIT.
5179 Version 1.6.17beta06 [February 27, 2015]
5180 Moved png_set_filter() prototype into a PNG_WRITE_SUPPORTED block
5182 Avoid runtime checks when converting integer to png_byte with
5183 Visual Studio (Sergey Kosarevsky)
5185 Version 1.6.17rc01 [March 4, 2015]
5188 Version 1.6.17rc02 [March 9, 2015]
5189 Removed some comments that the configure script did not handle
5190 properly from scripts/pnglibconf.dfa and pnglibconf.h.prebuilt.
5191 Free the unknown_chunks structure even when it contains no data.
5193 Version 1.6.17rc03 [March 12, 2015]
5194 Updated CMakeLists.txt to add OSX framework, change YES/NO to ON/OFF
5195 for consistency, and remove some useless tests (Alexey Petruchik).
5197 Version 1.6.17rc04 [March 16, 2015]
5198 Remove pnglibconf.h, pnglibconf.c, and pnglibconf.out instead of
5199 pnglibconf.* in "make clean" (Cosmin).
5200 Fix bug in calculation of maxbits, in png_write_sBIT, introduced
5201 in libpng-1.6.17beta01 (John Bowler).
5203 Version 1.6.17rc05 [March 21, 2015]
5204 Define PNG_FILTER_* and PNG_FILTER_VALUE_* in png.h even when WRITE
5205 is not supported (John Bowler). This fixes an error introduced in
5206 libpng-1.6.17beta06.
5207 Reverted "& 0xff" additions of version 1.6.17beta01. Libpng passes
5208 the Coverity scan without them.
5210 Version 1.6.17rc06 [March 23, 2015]
5211 Remove pnglibconf.dfn and pnglibconf.pre with "make clean".
5212 Reformatted some "&0xff" instances to "& 0xff".
5213 Fixed simplified 8-bit-linear to sRGB alpha. The calculated alpha
5214 value was wrong. It's not clear if this affected the final stored
5215 value; in the obvious code path the upper and lower 8-bits of the
5216 alpha value were identical and the alpha was truncated to 8-bits
5217 rather than dividing by 257 (John Bowler).
5219 Version 1.6.17 [March 26, 2015]
5222 Version 1.6.18beta01 [April 1, 2015]
5223 Removed PNG_SET_CHUNK_[CACHE|MALLOC]_LIMIT_SUPPORTED macros. They
5224 have been combined with PNG_SET_USER_LIMITS_SUPPORTED (resolves
5225 bug report by Andrew Church).
5226 Fixed rgb_to_gray checks and added tRNS checks to pngvalid.c. This
5227 fixes some arithmetic errors that caused some tests to fail on
5228 some 32-bit platforms (Bug reports by Peter Breitenlohner [i686]
5229 and Petr Gajdos [i586]).
5231 Version 1.6.18beta02 [April 26, 2015]
5232 Suppressed some warnings from the Borland C++ 5.5.1/5.82 compiler
5233 (Bug report by Viktor Szakats).
5235 Version 1.6.18beta03 [May 6, 2015]
5236 Replaced "unexpected" with an integer (0xabadca11) in pngset.c
5237 where a long was expected, to avoid a compiler warning when PNG_DEBUG > 1.
5238 Added contrib/examples/simpleover.c, to demonstrate how to handle
5239 alpha compositing of multiple images, using the "simplified API"
5240 and an example PNG generation tool, contrib/examples/genpng.c
5243 Version 1.6.18beta04 [May 20, 2015]
5244 PNG_RELEASE_BUILD replaces tests where the code depended on the build base
5245 type and can be defined on the command line, allowing testing in beta
5246 builds (John Bowler).
5247 Avoid Coverity issue 80858 (REVERSE NULL) in pngtest.c PNG_DEBUG builds.
5248 Avoid a harmless potential integer overflow in png_XYZ_from_xy() (Bug
5249 report from Christopher Ferris).
5251 Version 1.6.18beta05 [May 31, 2015]
5252 Backport filter selection code from libpng-1.7.0beta51, to combine
5253 sub_row, up_row, avg_row, and paeth_row into try_row and tst_row.
5254 Changed png_voidcast(), etc., to voidcast(), etc., in contrib/tools/pngfix.c
5255 to avoid confusion with the libpng private macros.
5256 Fixed old cut&paste bug in the weighted filter selection code in
5257 pngwutil.c, introduced in libpng-0.95, March 1997.
5259 Version 1.6.18beta06 [June 1, 2015]
5260 Removed WRITE_WEIGHTED_FILTERED code, to save a few kbytes of the
5261 compiled library size. It never worked properly and as far as we can
5262 tell, no one uses it. The png_set_filter_heuristics() and
5263 png_set_filter_heuristics_fixed() APIs are retained but deprecated
5266 Version 1.6.18beta07 [June 6, 2015]
5267 Removed non-working progressive reader 'skip' function. This
5268 function has apparently never been used. It was implemented
5269 to support back-door modification of png_struct in libpng-1.4.x
5270 but (because it does nothing and cannot do anything) was apparently
5271 never tested (John Bowler).
5272 Fixed cexcept.h in which GCC 5 now reports that one of the auto
5273 variables in the Try macro needs to be volatile to prevent value
5274 being lost over the setjmp (John Bowler).
5275 Fixed NO_WRITE_FILTER and -Wconversion build breaks (John Bowler).
5276 Fix g++ build breaks (John Bowler).
5277 Quieted some Coverity issues in pngfix.c, png-fix-itxt.c, pngvalid.c,
5278 pngstest.c, and pngimage.c. Most seem harmless, but png-fix-itxt
5279 would only work with iTXt chunks with length 255 or less.
5280 Added #ifdef's to contrib/examples programs so people don't try
5281 to compile them without the minimum required support enabled
5282 (suggested by Flavio Medeiros).
5284 Version 1.6.18beta08 [June 30, 2015]
5285 Eliminated the final two Coverity defects (insecure temporary file
5286 handling in contrib/libtests/pngstest.c; possible overflow of
5287 unsigned char in contrib/tools/png-fix-itxt.c). To use the "secure"
5288 file handling, define PNG_USE_MKSTEMP, otherwise "tmpfile()" will
5290 Removed some unused WEIGHTED_FILTER macros from png.h and pngstruct.h
5292 Version 1.6.18beta09 [July 5, 2015]
5293 Removed some useless typecasts from contrib/tools/png-fix-itxt.c
5294 Fixed a new signed-unsigned comparison in pngrtran.c (Max Stepin).
5295 Replaced arbitrary use of 'extern' with #define PNG_LINKAGE_*. To
5296 preserve API compatibility, the new defines all default to "extern"
5297 (requested by Jan Nijtmans).
5299 Version 1.6.18rc01 [July 9, 2015]
5300 Belatedly added Mans Rullgard and James Yu to the list of Contributing
5303 Version 1.6.18rc02 [July 12, 2015]
5304 Restored unused FILTER_HEURISTIC macros removed at libpng-1.6.18beta08
5305 to png.h to avoid compatibility warnings.
5307 Version 1.6.18rc03 [July 15, 2015]
5308 Minor changes to the man page
5310 Version 1.6.18 [July 23, 2015]
5313 Version 1.6.19beta01 [July 30, 2015]
5314 Updated obsolete information about the simplified API macros in the
5315 manual pages (Bug report by Arc Riley).
5316 Avoid potentially dereferencing NULL info_ptr in png_info_init_3().
5317 Rearranged png.h to put the major sections in the same order as
5319 Eliminated unused PNG_COST_SHIFT, PNG_WEIGHT_SHIFT, PNG_COST_FACTOR, and
5320 PNG_WEIGHT_FACTOR macros.
5321 Suppressed some warnings from the Borland C++ 5.5.1/5.82 compiler
5322 (Bug report by Viktor Szakats). Several warnings remain and are
5323 unavoidable, where we test for overflow.
5324 Fixed potential leak of png_pixels in contrib/pngminus/pnm2png.c
5325 Fixed uninitialized variable in contrib/gregbook/rpng2-x.c
5327 Version 1.6.19beta02 [August 19, 2015]
5328 Moved config.h.in~ from the "libpng_autotools_files" list to the
5329 "libpng_autotools_extra" list in autogen.sh because it was causing a
5330 false positive for missing files (bug report by Robert C. Seacord).
5331 Removed unreachable "break" statements in png.c, pngread.c, and pngrtran.c
5332 to suppress clang warnings (Bug report by Viktor Szakats).
5333 Fixed some bad links in the man page.
5334 Changed "n bit" to "n-bit" in comments.
5335 Added signed/unsigned 16-bit safety net. This removes the dubious
5336 0x8000 flag definitions on 16-bit systems. They aren't supported
5337 yet the defs *probably* work, however it seems much safer to do this
5338 and be advised if anyone, contrary to advice, is building libpng 1.6
5339 on a 16-bit system. It also adds back various switch default clauses
5340 for GCC; GCC errors out if they are not present (with an appropriately
5341 high level of warnings).
5342 Safely convert num_bytes to a png_byte in png_set_sig_bytes() (Robert
5344 Fixed the recently reported 1's complement security issue by replacing
5345 the value that is illegal in the PNG spec, in both signed and unsigned
5346 values, with 0. Illegal unsigned values (anything greater than or equal
5347 to 0x80000000) can still pass through, but since these are not illegal
5348 in ANSI-C (unlike 0x80000000 in the signed case) the checking that
5349 occurs later can catch them (John Bowler).
5351 Version 1.6.19beta03 [September 26, 2015]
5352 Fixed png_save_int_32 when int is not 2's complement (John Bowler).
5353 Updated libpng16 with all the recent test changes from libpng17,
5354 including changes to pngvalid.c to ensure that the original,
5355 distributed, version of contrib/visupng/cexcept.h can be used
5357 pngvalid contains the correction to the use of SAVE/STORE_
5358 UNKNOWN_CHUNKS; a bug revealed by changes in libpng 1.7. More
5359 tests contain the --strict option to detect warnings and the
5360 pngvalid-standard test has been corrected so that it does not
5361 turn on progressive-read. There is a separate test which does
5363 Also made some signed/unsigned fixes.
5364 Make pngstest error limits version specific. Splitting the machine
5365 generated error structs out to a file allows the values to be updated
5366 without changing pngstest.c itself. Since libpng 1.6 and 1.7 have
5367 slightly different error limits this simplifies maintenance. The
5368 makepngs.sh script has also been updated to more accurately reflect
5369 current problems in libpng 1.7 (John Bowler).
5370 Incorporated new test PNG files into make check. tests/pngstest-*
5371 are changed so that the new test files are divided into 8 groups by
5372 gamma and alpha channel. These tests have considerably better code
5373 and pixel-value coverage than contrib/pngsuite; however,coverage is
5374 still incomplete (John Bowler).
5375 Removed the '--strict' in 1.6 because of the double-gamma-correction
5376 warning, updated pngstest-errors.h for the errors detected with the
5377 new contrib/testspngs PNG test files (John Bowler).
5379 Version 1.6.19beta04 [October 15, 2015]
5380 Worked around rgb-to-gray issues in libpng 1.6. The previous
5381 attempts to ignore the errors in the code aren't quite enough to
5382 deal with the 'channel selection' encoding added to libpng 1.7; abort.
5383 pngvalid.c is changed to drop this encoding in prior versions.
5384 Fixed 'pow' macros in pngvalid.c. It is legal for 'pow' to be a
5385 macro, therefore the argument list cannot contain preprocessing
5386 directives. Make sure pow is a function where this happens. This is
5387 a minimal safe fix, the issue only arises in non-performance-critical
5388 code (bug report by Curtis Leach, fix by John Bowler).
5389 Added sPLT support to pngtest.c
5391 Version 1.6.19rc01 [October 23, 2015]
5394 Version 1.6.19rc02 [October 31, 2015]
5395 Prevent setting or writing over-length PLTE chunk (Cosmin Truta).
5396 Silently truncate over-length PLTE chunk while reading.
5397 Libpng incorrectly calculated the output rowbytes when the application
5398 decreased either the number of channels or the bit depth (or both) in
5399 a user transform. This was safe; libpng overallocated buffer space
5400 (potentially by quite a lot; up to 4 times the amount required) but,
5401 from 1.5.4 on, resulted in a png_error (John Bowler).
5403 Version 1.6.19rc03 [November 3, 2015]
5404 Fixed some inconsequential cut-and-paste typos in png_set_cHRM_XYZ_fixed().
5405 Clarified COPYRIGHT information to state explicitly that versions
5406 are derived from previous versions.
5407 Removed much of the long list of previous versions from png.h and
5410 Version 1.6.19rc04 [November 5, 2015]
5411 Fixed new bug with CRC error after reading an over-length palette
5412 (bug report by Cosmin Truta) (CVE-2015-8126).
5414 Version 1.6.19 [November 12, 2015]
5415 Cleaned up coding style in png_handle_PLTE().
5417 Version 1.6.20beta01 [November 20, 2015]
5418 Avoid potential pointer overflow/underflow in png_handle_sPLT() and
5419 png_handle_pCAL() (Bug report by John Regehr).
5421 Version 1.6.20beta02 [November 23, 2015]
5422 Fixed incorrect implementation of png_set_PLTE() that uses png_ptr
5423 not info_ptr, that left png_set_PLTE() open to the CVE-2015-8126
5424 vulnerability. Fixes CVE-2015-8472.
5426 Version 1.6.20beta03 [November 24, 2015]
5427 Backported tests from libpng-1.7.0beta69.
5429 Version 1.6.20rc01 [November 26, 2015]
5430 Fixed an error in handling of bad zlib CMINFO field in pngfix, found by
5431 American Fuzzy Lop, reported by Brian Carpenter. inflate() doesn't
5432 immediately fault a bad CMINFO field; instead a 'too far back' error
5433 happens later (at least some times). pngfix failed to limit CMINFO to
5434 the allowed values but then assumed that window_bits was in range,
5435 triggering an assert. The bug is mostly harmless; the PNG file cannot
5438 Version 1.6.20rc02 [November 29, 2015]
5439 In libpng 1.6 zlib initialization was changed to use the window size
5440 in the zlib stream, not a fixed value. This causes some invalid images,
5441 where CINFO is too large, to display 'correctly' if the rest of the
5442 data is valid. This provides a workaround for zlib versions where the
5443 error arises (ones that support the API change to use the window size
5446 Version 1.6.20 [December 3, 2015]
5449 Version 1.6.21beta01 [December 11, 2015]
5450 Fixed syntax "$(command)" in tests/pngstest that some shells other than
5451 bash could not parse (Bug report by Nelson Beebe). Use `command` instead.
5453 Version 1.6.21beta02 [December 14, 2015]
5454 Moved png_check_keyword() from pngwutil.c to pngset.c
5455 Removed LE/BE dependencies in pngvalid, to 'fix' the current problem
5456 in the BigEndian tests by not testing it, making the BE code the same
5458 Fixes to pngvalid for various reduced build configurations (eliminate unused
5459 statics) and a fix for the case in rgb_to_gray when the digitize option
5460 reduces graylo to 0, producing a large error.
5462 Version 1.6.21beta03 [December 18, 2015]
5463 Widened the 'limit' check on the internally calculated error limits in
5464 the 'DIGITIZE' case (the code used prior to 1.7 for rgb_to_gray error
5465 checks) and changed the check to only operate in non-release builds
5466 (base build type not RC or RELEASE.)
5467 Fixed undefined behavior in pngvalid.c, undefined because
5468 (png_byte) << shift is undefined if it changes the signed bit
