+
+Changes since the last public release (1.6.1):
+
+ Updated documentation of 1.5.x to 1.6.x changes in iCCP chunk handling.
+ Fixed incorrect warning of excess deflate data. End condition - the
+ warning would be produced if the end of the deflate stream wasn't read
+ in the last row. The warning is harmless.
+ Corrected the test on user transform changes on read. It was in the
+ png_set of the transform function, but that doesn't matter unless the
+ transform function changes the rowbuf size, and that is only valid if
+ transform_info is called.
+ Corrected a misplaced closing bracket in contrib/libtests/pngvalid.c
+ (Flavio Medeiros).
+ Corrected length written to uncompressed iTXt chunks (Samuli Suominen).
+ Added contrib/tools/fixitxt.c, to repair the erroneous iTXt chunk length
+ written by libpng-1.6.0 and 1.6.1.
+ Disallow storing sRGB information when the sRGB is not supported.
+ Merge pngtest.c with libpng-1.7.0
