version 0.89 [July, 1996]
- added new initialization API to make libpng work better with shared libs
- we now have png_create_read_struct(), png_create_write_struct(),
- png_create_info_struct(), png_destroy_read_struct(), and
- png_destroy_write_struct() instead of the separate calls to
- malloc and png_read_init(), png_info_init(), and png_write_init()
- changed warning/error callback functions to fix bug - this means you
- should use the new initialization API if you were using the old
- png_set_message_fn() calls, and that the old API no longer exists
- so that people are aware that they need to change their code
- changed filter selection API to allow selection of multiple filters
- since it didn't work in previous versions of libpng anyways
- optimized filter selection code
- fixed png_set_background() to allow using an arbitrary RGB color for
- paletted images
- fixed gamma and background correction for paletted images, so
- png_correct_palette is not needed unless you are correcting an
- external palette (you will need to #define PNG_CORRECT_PALETTE_SUPPORTED
- in pngconf.h) - if nobody uses this, it may disappear in the future.
- fixed bug with Borland 64K memory allocation (Alexander Lehmann)
- fixed bug in interlace handling (Smarasderagd, I think)
- added more error checking for writing and image to reduce invalid files
- separated read and write functions so that they won't both be linked
- into a binary when only reading or writing functionality is used
- new pngtest image also has interlacing and zTXt
- updated documentation to reflect new API

version 0.90 [January, 1997]
- made CRC errors/warnings on critical and ancillary chunks configurable
- libpng will use the zlib CRC routines by (compile-time) default
- changed DOS small/medium model memory support - needs zlib 1.04 (Tim Wegner)
- added external C++ wrapper statements to png.h (Gilles Dauphin)
- allow PNG file to be read when some or all of file signature has already
- been read from the beginning of the stream. ****This affects the size
- of info_struct and invalidates all programs that use a shared libpng****
- fixed png_filler() declarations
- fixed? background color conversions
- fixed order of error function pointers to match documentation
- current chunk name is now available in png_struct to reduce the number
- of nearly identical error messages (will simplify multi-lingual
- support when available)
- try to get ready for unknown-chunk callback functions:
- - previously read critical chunks are flagged, so the chunk handling
- routines can determine if the chunk is in the right place
- - all chunk handling routines have the same prototypes, so we will
- be able to handle all chunks via a callback mechanism
- try to fix Linux "setjmp" buffer size problems

version 0.95 [March, 1997]
- fixed bug in pngwutil.c allocating "up_row" twice and "avg_row" never
- fixed bug in PNG file signature compares when start != 0
- changed parameter type of png_set_filler(...filler...) from png_byte
- to png_uint_32
- added test for MACOS to ensure that both math.h and fp.h are not #included
- added macros for libpng to be compiled as a Windows DLL (Andreas Kupries)
- added "packswap" transformation, which changes the endianness of
- packed-pixel bytes (Kevin Bracey)
- added "strip_alpha" transformation, which removes the alpha channel of
- input images without using it (not neccesarily a good idea)
- added "swap_alpha" transformation, which puts the alpha channel in front
- of the color bytes instead of after
- removed all implicit variable tests which assume NULL == 0 (I think)
- changed several variables to "png_size_t" to show 16/32-bit limitations
- added new pCAL chunk read/write support
- added experimental filter selection weighting (Greg Roelofs)
- removed old png_set_rgbx() and png_set_xrgb() functions that have been
- obsolete for about 2 years now (use png_set_filler() instead)
- added macros to read 16- and 32-bit ints directly from buffer, to be
- used only on those systems that support it (namely PowerPC and 680x0)
- With some testing, this may become the default for MACOS/PPC systems.
- only calculate CRC on data if we are going to use it
- added macros for zTXt compression type PNG_zTXt_COMPRESSION_???
- added macros for simple libpng debugging output selectable at compile time
- removed PNG_READ_END_MODE in progressive reader (Smarasderagd)
- more description of info_struct in libpng.txt and png.h
- more instructions in example.c
- more chunk types tested in pngtest.c
- renamed pngrcb.c to pngset.c, and all png_read_<chunk> functions to be
- png_set_<chunk>. We now have corresponding png_get_<chunk>
- functions in pngget.c to get infomation in info_ptr. This isolates
- the application from the internal organization of png_info_struct
- (good for shared library implementations).

+ run with older versions of libpng, use
+
+ #ifdef PNG_iTXt_SUPPORTED
+ png_text[i].lang = NULL;
+ #endif
+
+ Changed png_get_oFFs() and png_set_oFFs() to use signed rather than unsigned

+ Restored the first four members of png_text to the same order as v.1.0.5d.
+ Added members "lang_key" and "itxt_length" to png_text struct. Set
+ text_length=0 when "text" contains iTXt data. Use the "compression"
+ member to distinguish among tEXt/zTXt/iTXt types. Added
+ PNG_ITXT_COMPRESSION_NONE (1) and PNG_ITXT_COMPRESSION_zTXt(2) macros.
+ The "Note" above, about backward incompatibility of libpng-1.0.5e, no
+ longer applies.

+version 1.0.5n [January 9, 2000]
+ Added png_free_PLTE() function, and modified png_set_PLTE() to malloc its
+ own memory for info_ptr->palette. This makes it safe for the calling

+ Simplify png_sig_bytes() function to remove use of non-ISO-C strdup().
+version 1.0.6e [April 9, 2000]
+ Added png_data_freer() function.
+ In the code that checks for over-length tRNS chunks, added check of
+ info_ptr->num_trans as well as png_ptr->num_trans (Matthias Benckmann)
+ Minor revisions of libpng.txt/libpng.3.
+ Check for existing data and free it if the free_me flag is set, in png_set_*()
+ and png_handle_*().
+ Only define PNG_WEIGHTED_FILTERS_SUPPORTED when PNG_FLOATING_POINT_SUPPORTED
+ is defined.
+ Changed several instances of PNG_NO_CONSOLE_ID to PNG_NO_STDIO in pngrutil.c
+ and mentioned the purposes of the two macros in libpng.txt/libpng.3.
+version 1.0.6f [April 14, 2000]

+ (breaks compatibility with libpng-1.0.6).
+version 1.0.6h [April 24, 2000]
+ Changed shared library so-number pattern from 2.x.y.z to xy.z (this builds
+ libpng.so.10 & libpng.so.10.6h instead of libpng.so.2 & libpng.so.2.1.0.6h)
+ This is a temporary change for test purposes.
+version 1.0.6i [May 2, 2000]
+ Rearranged some members at the end of png_info and png_struct, to put
+ unknown_chunks_num and free_me within the original size of the png_structs
+ and free_me, png_read_user_fn, and png_free_fn within the original png_info,
+ because some old applications allocate the structs directly instead of
+ using png_create_*().
+ Added documentation of user memory functions in libpng.txt/libpng.3
+ Modified png_read_png so that it will use user_allocated row_pointers
+ if present, unless free_me directs that it be freed, and added description
+ of the use of png_set_rows() and png_get_rows() in libpng.txt/libpng.3.
+ Added PNG_LEGACY_SUPPORTED macro, and #ifdef out all new (since version
+ 1.00) members of png_struct and png_info, to regain binary compatibility
+ when you define this macro. Capabilities lost in this event
+ are user transforms (new in version 1.0.0),the user transform pointer
+ (new in version 1.0.2), rgb_to_gray (new in 1.0.5), iCCP, sCAL, sPLT,
+ the high-level interface, and unknown chunks support (all new in 1.0.6).
+ This was necessary because of old applications that allocate the structs
+ directly as authors were instructed to do in libpng-0.88 and earlier,
+ instead of using png_create_*().
+ Added modes PNG_CREATED_READ_STRUCT and PNG_CREATED_WRITE_STRUCT which
+ can be used to detect codes that directly allocate the structs, and
+ code to check these modes in png_read_init() and png_write_init() and
+ generate a libpng error if the modes aren't set and PNG_LEGACY_SUPPORTED
+ was not defined.
+ Added makefile.intel and updated makefile.watcom (Pawel Mrochen)
+version 1.0.6j [May 3, 2000]
+ Overloaded png_read_init() and png_write_init() with macros that convert
+ calls to png_read_init_2() or png_write_init_2() that check the version
+ and structure sizes.

+ Removed the new PNG_CREATED_READ_STRUCT and PNG_CREATED_WRITE_STRUCT modes
+ which are no longer used.
+ Eliminated the three new members of png_text when PNG_LEGACY_SUPPORTED is
+ defined or when neither PNG_READ_iTXt_SUPPORTED nor PNG_WRITE_iTXT_SUPPORTED
+ is defined.
+ Made PNG_NO_READ|WRITE_iTXt the default setting, to avoid memory
+ overrun when old applications fill the info_ptr->text structure directly.
+ Added PNGAPI macro, and added it to the definitions of all exported functions.
+ Relocated version macro definitions ahead of the includes of zlib.h and
+ pngconf.h in png.h.
+version 1.0.7beta12 [May 12, 2000]
+ Revised pngset.c to avoid a problem with expanding the png_debug macro.

+ Use MSC _RPTn debugging instead of fprintf if _MSC_VER is defined.
+ Added png_access_version_number() function.
+ Check for mask&PNG_FREE_CHNK (for TEXT, SCAL, PCAL) in png_free_data().
+ Expanded libpng.3/libpng.txt information about png_data_freer().
+version 1.0.7beta14 [May 17, 2000] (beta13 was not published)
+ Changed pnggccrd.c and pngvcrd.c to handle bad adaptive filter types as
+ warnings instead of errors, as pngrutil.c does.
+ Set the PNG_INFO_IDAT valid flag in png_set_rows() so png_write_png()
+ will actually write IDATs.
+ Made the default PNG_USE_LOCAL_ARRAYS depend on PNG_DLL instead of WIN32.
+ Make png_free_data() ignore its final parameter except when freeing data
+ that can have multiple instances (text, sPLT, unknowns).
+ Fixed a new bug in png_set_rows().
+ Removed info_ptr->valid tests from png_free_data(), as in version 1.0.5.
+ Added png_set_invalid() function.
+ Fixed incorrect illustrations of png_destroy_write_struct() in example.c.
+version 1.0.7beta15 [May 30, 2000]
+ Revised the deliberately erroneous Linux setjmp code in pngconf.h to produce
+ fewer error messages.
+ Rearranged checks for Z_OK to check the most likely path first in pngpread.c
+ and pngwutil.c.
+ Added checks in pngtest.c for png_create_*() returning NULL, and mentioned
+ in libpng.txt/libpng.3 the need for applications to check this.
+ Changed names of png_default_*() functions in pngtest to pngtest_*().
+ Changed return type of png_get_x|y_offset_*() from png_uint_32 to png_int_32.
+ Fixed some bugs in the unused PNG_INCH_CONVERSIONS functions in pngget.c
+ Set each pointer to NULL after freeing it in png_free_data().
+ Worked around a problem in pngconf.h; AIX's strings.h defines an "index"
+ macro that conflicts with libpng's png_color_16.index. (Dimitri Papadapoulos)
+ Added "msvc" directory with MSVC++ project files (Simon-Pierre Cadieux).
+version 1.0.7beta16 [June 4, 2000]
+ Revised the workaround of AIX string.h "index" bug.
+ Added a check for overlength PLTE chunk in pngrutil.c.
+ Added PNG_NO_POINTER_INDEXING macro to use array-indexing instead of pointer
+ indexing in pngrutil.c and pngwutil.c to accommodate a buggy compiler.

+ when it tries to read an erroneous PhotoShop iCCP chunk.
+ Added PNG_USE_DLL macro.
+ Revised the copyright/disclaimer/license notice.
+ Added contrib/msvctest directory
+version 1.0.7rc1 [June 9, 2000]
