1. March 15, 1998 -- OPTIMIZATION -- Kevin Bracey
1998-04-21 20:03:57 +00:00
Loops need to be optimized everywhere
1998-06-14 19:43:31 +00:00
Make them count down instead of up -- Kevin Bracey

1998-06-14 19:43:31 +00:00
Optimizing compilers don't need this, and making
the change would be error prone -- Tom Lane, Glenn R-P

Question whether i-- or --i is better.

STATUS: Under investigation, postponed until after

libpng-1.1.0. About 160 loops will be turned around
in libpng-1.1.Nn, for testing.

1999-10-01 19:22:25 +00:00
libpng-1.0.5 and earlier transform colors to gamma=1.0 space for
1998-12-29 17:47:59 +00:00
merging with background, and then back to the image's gamma. The
bit_depth of the intermediate (gamma=1.0) representation is probably
not sufficient. In the typical gamma=1/2.2 situation, the linear
pixels need about 4 more bits than the gamma-encoded ones, to avoid
loss of precision. A similar situation exists with the rgb_to_gray
operation.
STATUS: under development.

3. September 1999 -- ENHANCEMENT --
It should be possible to use libpng without floating-point aritmetic.
STATUS: Under investigation, implementation postponed until after
1999-10-01 19:22:25 +00:00
libpng-1.0.5. The application interface will change because replacements
1999-09-17 17:27:26 +00:00
for the png_set_gAMA(), png_set_cHRM(), and corresponding png_get_()
functions will be needed.
1998-06-06 20:31:35 +00:00
2000-02-05 05:40:16 +00:00
Much of this was completed in libpng-1.0.5h, but gamma compensation
is not yet done in fixed-point arithmetic.

4. October 1999 -- BUG
1999-10-14 12:43:10 +00:00
1999-10-23 13:39:18 +00:00
pngvcrd.c is failing for interlaced PNGs that have empty passes.
1999-10-14 12:43:10 +00:00
1999-10-23 13:39:18 +00:00
STATUS: A check for "width != 0" is required in several places.
1999-12-10 15:43:02 +00:00
Fixed in libpng-1.0.5a/1.1.0

5. October 1999 -- BUG
1999-10-14 12:43:10 +00:00
1999-10-23 13:39:18 +00:00
Under MSVC++6.0 with debugging enabled, heap corruption was detected
while destroying the png_write_ptr.
STATUS: This was fixed by modifying png_set_text (in pngset.c) to
refrain from writing into the user's text_ptr. With this fix, however,
pngwrite.c, while destroying the info_ptr, was failing to free the
text->key strings. Fix for the latter problem is to duplicate code
from png.c.
1999-12-10 15:43:02 +00:00
Fixed in libpng-1.0.5a/1.1.0
6. December 1999 -- new BUG
The png_text structure was modified in libpng-1.0.5e in a manner that
is not backward compatible (the lang member was added, and the
translated_key member was added to libpng-1.0.5g)
2000-02-05 05:40:16 +00:00
STATUS: Fixed in libpng-1.0.5j/1.1.0
7. December 1999 -- BUG
The new pnggccrd.c has syntax errors when compiled with gcc.
STATUS: Under investigation.
2000-02-18 19:48:52 +00:00
8. February 2000 -- BUG
When an RGBA file is expanded, only 24 or 48 bits per pixel are reserved
in rowbytes.
STATUS: Fixed in libpng-1.0.5s
