-Changes since the last public release (1.6.20):
-
- Fixed syntax "$(command)" in tests/pngstest that some shells other than
- bash could not parse (Bug report by Nelson Beebe). Use `command` instead.
- Moved png_check_keyword() from pngwutil.c to pngset.c
- Removed LE/BE dependencies in pngvalid, to 'fix' the current problem
- in the BigEndian tests by not testing it, making the BE code the same
- as the LE version.
- Fixes to pngvalid for various reduced build configurations (eliminate unused
- statics) and a fix for the case in rgb_to_gray when the digitize option
- reduces graylo to 0, producing a large error.
- Widened the 'limit' check on the internally calculated error limits in
- the 'DIGITIZE' case (the code used prior to 1.7 for rgb_to_gray error
- checks) and changed the check to only operate in non-release builds
- (base build type not RC or RELEASE.)
- Fixed undefined behavior in pngvalid.c, undefined because
- (png_byte) << shift is undefined if it changes the signed bit
- (because png_byte is promoted to int). The libpng exported functions
- png_get_uint_32 and png_get_uint_16 handle this. (Bug reported by
- David Drysdale as a result of reports from UBSAN in clang 3.8).
- This changes pngvalid to use BE random numbers; this used to produce
- errors but these should not be fixed as a result of the previous changes.
- In projects/vstudio, combined readme.txt and WARNING into README.txt
- Relocated assert() in contrib/tools/pngfix.c, bug found by American
- Fuzzy Lop, reported by Brian Carpenter.
- Marked 'limit' UNUSED in transform_range_check(). This only affects
- release builds.
- Worked around a false-positive Coverity issue in pngvalid.c.
