Libpng 1.6.9 - February 6, 2014 This is a public release of libpng, intended for use in production codes. Files available for download: Source files with LF line endings (for Unix/Linux) and with a "configure" script libpng-1.6.9.tar.xz (LZMA-compressed, recommended) libpng-1.6.9.tar.gz Source files with CRLF line endings (for Windows), without the "configure" script lpng169.7z (LZMA-compressed, recommended) lpng169.zip Other information: libpng-1.6.9-README.txt libpng-1.6.9-LICENSE.txt Gnupg/*.asc (PGP armored detached signatures) Changes since the last public release (1.6.8): Bookkeeping: Moved functions around (no changes). Moved transform function definitions before the place where they are called so that they can be masde static. Move the intrapixel functions and the grayscale palette builder out of the png?tran.c files. The latter isn't a transform function and is no longer used internally, and the former MNG specific functions are better placed in pngread/pngwrite.c Made transform implementation functions static. This makes the internal functions called by png_do_{read|write}_transformations static. On an x86-64 DLL build (Gentoo Linux) this reduces the size of the text segment of the DLL by 1208 bytes, about 0.6%. It also simplifies maintenance by removing the declarations from pngpriv.h and allowing easier changes to the internal interfaces. Rebuilt configure scripts with automake-1.14.1 and autoconf-2.69 in the tar distributions. Added checks for libpng 1.5 to pngvalid.c. This supports the use of this version of pngvalid in libpng 1.5 Merged with pngvalid.c from libpng-1.7 changes to create a single pngvalid.c Removed #error macro from contrib/tools/pngfix.c (Thomas Klausner). Merged pngrio.c, pngtrans.c, pngwio.c, and pngerror.c with libpng-1.7.0 Merged libpng-1.7.0 changes to make no-interlace configurations work with test programs. Revised pngvalid.c to support libpng 1.5, which does not support the PNG_MAXIMUM_INFLATE_WINDOW option, so #define it out when appropriate in pngvalid.c Allow unversioned links created on install to be disabled in configure. In configure builds 'make install' changes/adds links like png.h and libpng.a to point to the newly installed, versioned, files (e.g. libpng17/png.h and libpng17.a). Three new configure options and some rearrangement of Makefile.am allow creation of these links to be disabled. Removed potentially misleading warning from png_check_IHDR(). Updated scripts/makefile.* to use CPPFLAGS (Cosmin). Added clang attribute support (Cosmin). Quiet an uninitialized memory warning from VC2013 in png_get_png().
