+The function
+ png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8()
+which also expands tRNS to alpha was replaced with
+ png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8()
+which does not. It has been deprecated since libpng-1.0.18 and 1.2.9.
+
+.SH IX. Changes to Libpng from version 1.0.x/1.2.x to 1.4.x
+
+Private libpng prototypes and macro definitions were moved from
+png.h and pngconf.h into a new pngpriv.h header file.
+
+Functions png_set_benign_errors(), png_benign_error(), and
+png_chunk_benign_error() were added.
+
+Support for setting the maximum amount of memory that the application
+will allocate for reading chunks was added, as a security measure.
+The functions png_set_chunk_cache_max() and png_get_chunk_cache_max()
+were added to the library.
+
+We implemented support for I/O states by adding png_ptr member io_state
+and functions png_get_io_chunk_name() and png_get_io_state() in pngget.c
+
+We added PNG_TRANSFORM_GRAY_TO_RGB to the available high-level
+input transforms.
+
+Checking for and reporting of errors in the IHDR chunk is more thorough.
+
+Support for global arrays was removed, to improve thread safety.
+
+Some obsolete/deprecated macros and functions have been removed.
+
+Typecasted NULL definitions such as
+ #define png_voidp_NULL (png_voidp)NULL
+were eliminated. If you used these in your application, just use
+NULL instead.
+
+The png_struct and info_struct members "trans" and "trans_values" were
+changed to "trans_alpha" and "trans_color", respectively.
+
+The obsolete, unused pnggccrd.c and pngvcrd.c files and related makefiles
+were removed.
+
+The PNG_1_0_X and PNG_1_2_X macros were eliminated.
+
+The PNG_LEGACY_SUPPORTED macro was eliminated.
+
+Many WIN32_WCE #ifdefs were removed.
+
+The functions png_read_init(info_ptr), png_write_init(info_ptr),
+png_info_init(info_ptr), png_read_destroy(), and png_write_destroy()
+have been removed. They have been deprecated since libpng-0.95.
+
+The png_permit_empty_plte() was removed. It has been deprecated
+since libpng-1.0.9. Use png_permit_mng_features() instead.
+
+We removed the obsolete stub functions png_get_mmx_flagmask(),
+png_set_mmx_thresholds(), png_get_asm_flags(),
+png_get_mmx_bitdepth_threshold(), png_get_mmx_rowbytes_threshold(),
+png_set_asm_flags(), and png_mmx_supported()
+
+We removed the obsolete png_check_sig(), png_memcpy_check(), and
+png_memset_check() functions. Instead use !png_sig_cmp(), png_memcpy(),
+and png_memset(), respectively.
+
+The function png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8() was removed. It has been
+deprecated since libpng-1.0.18 and 1.2.9, when it was replaced with
+png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8() because the former function also
+expanded palette images.
+
+We changed the prototype for png_malloc() from
+ png_malloc(png_structp png_ptr, png_uint_32 size)
+to
+ png_malloc(png_structp png_ptr, png_alloc_size_t size)
+
+This also applies to the prototype for the user replacement malloc_fn().
+
+The png_calloc() function was added and is used in place of
+of "png_malloc(); png_memset();" except in the case in png_read_png()
+where the array consists of pointers; in this case a "for" loop is used
+after the png_malloc() to set the pointers to NULL, to give robust.
+behavior in case the application runs out of memory part-way through
+the process.
+
+We changed the prototypes of png_get_compression_buffer_size() and
+png_set_compression_buffer_size() to work with png_size_t instead of
+png_uint_32.
+
+Support for numbered error messages was removed by default, since we
+never got around to actually numbering the error messages. The function
+png_set_strip_error_numbers() was removed from the library by default.
+
+The png_zalloc() and png_zfree() functions are no longer exported.
+The png_zalloc() function no longer zeroes out the memory that it
+allocates.
+
+Support for dithering was disabled by default in libpng-1.4.0, because
+been well tested and doesn't actually "dither". The code was not
+removed, however, and could be enabled by building libpng with
+PNG_READ_DITHER_SUPPORTED defined. In libpng-1.4.2, this support
+was reenabled, but the function was renamed png_set_quantize() to
+reflect more accurately what it actually does. At the same time,
+the PNG_DITHER_[RED,GREEN_BLUE]_BITS macros were also renamed to
+PNG_QUANTIZE_[RED,GREEN,BLUE]_BITS.
+
+We removed the trailing '.' from the warning and error messages.
+
+.SH X. Detecting libpng
+
+The png_get_io_ptr() function has been present since libpng-0.88, has never
+changed, and is unaffected by conditional compilation macros. It is the
+best choice for use in configure scripts for detecting the presence of any
+libpng version since 0.88. In an autoconf "configure.in" you could use
+
+ AC_CHECK_LIB(png, png_get_io_ptr, ...
+
+.SH XI. Source code repository
+
+Since about February 2009, version 1.2.34, libpng has been under "git" source
+control. The git repository was built from old libpng-x.y.z.tar.gz files
+going back to version 0.70. You can access the git repository (read only)
+at
+
+ git://libpng.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/libpng
+
+or you can browse it via "gitweb" at
+
+ http://libpng.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=libpng
+
+Patches can be sent to glennrp at users.sourceforge.net or to
+png-mng-implement at lists.sourceforge.net or you can upload them to
+the libpng bug tracker at
+
+ http://libpng.sourceforge.net
+
+.SH XII. Coding style
+
+Our coding style is similar to the "Allman" style, with curly
+braces on separate lines:
+
+ if (condition)
+ {
+ action;
+ }
+
+ else if (another condition)
+ {
+ another action;
+ }
+
+The braces can be omitted from simple one-line actions:
+
+ if (condition)
+ return (0);
+
+We use 3-space indentation, except for continued statements which
+are usually indented the same as the first line of the statement
+plus four more spaces.
+
+For macro definitions we use 2-space indentation, always leaving the "#"
+in the first column.
+
+ #ifndef PNG_NO_FEATURE
+ # ifndef PNG_FEATURE_SUPPORTED
+ # define PNG_FEATURE_SUPPORTED
+ # endif
+ #endif
+
+Comments appear with the leading "/*" at the same indentation as
+the statement that follows the comment:
+
+ /* Single-line comment */
+ statement;
+
+ /* This is a multiple-line
+ * comment.
+ */
+ statement;
+
+Very short comments can be placed after the end of the statement
+to which they pertain:
+
+ statement; /* comment */
+
+We don't use C++ style ("//") comments. We have, however,
+used them in the past in some now-abandoned MMX assembler
+code.
+
+Functions and their curly braces are not indented, and
+exported functions are marked with PNGAPI:
+
+ /* This is a public function that is visible to
+ * application programers. It does thus-and-so.
+ */
+ void PNGAPI
+ png_exported_function(png_ptr, png_info, foo)
+ {
+ body;
+ }
+
+The prototypes for all exported functions appear in png.h,
+above the comment that says
+
+ /* Maintainer: Put new public prototypes here ... */
+
+We mark all non-exported functions with "/* PRIVATE */"":
+
+ void /* PRIVATE */
+ png_non_exported_function(png_ptr, png_info, foo)
+ {
+ body;
+ }
+
+The prototypes for non-exported functions (except for those in
+pngtest) appear in
+pngpriv.h
+above the comment that says
+
+ /* Maintainer: Put new private prototypes here ^ and in libpngpf.3 */
+
+The names of all exported functions and variables begin
+with "png_", and all publicly visible C preprocessor
+macros begin with "PNG_".
+
+We put a space after each comma and after each semicolon
+in "for" statments, and we put spaces before and after each
+C binary operator and after "for" or "while", and before
+"?". We don't put a space between a typecast and the expression
+being cast, nor do we put one between a function name and the
+left parenthesis that follows it:
+
+ for (i = 2; i > 0; --i)
+ y[i] = a(x) + (int)b;
+
+We prefer #ifdef and #ifndef to #if defined() and if !defined()
+when there is only one macro being tested.
+
+We do not use the TAB character for indentation in the C sources.
+
+Lines do not exceed 80 characters.
+
+Other rules can be inferred by inspecting the libpng source.
