+Changes since the last public release (1.2.41):
 
-version 1.2.41 [December 3, 2009]
-
-  Moved redundant IHDR checking into new png_check_IHDR() in png.c
-    and report all errors found in the IHDR data.
-  Eliminated useless call to png_check_cHRM() from pngset.c
-  Expanded TAB characters in pngrtran.c
-  Added "xcode" project similar one already in libpng-1.4.0beta (Alam Arias).
-  Eliminated a shadowed declaration of "pp" in png_handle_sPLT().
-  Revised pngconf.h to make it easier to enable iTXt support.  From libpng
-    version 1.2.9 through 1.2.40, defining PNG_iTXt_SUPPORTED did not work
-    as expected.
-  Converted all PNG_NO_* tests to PNG_*_SUPPORTED everywhere except pngconf.h
-  Changed many "#if defined(x)" to "#ifdef x" and fixed some indentation.
-  Added png_calloc() as a non-exported function.
-  Relocated png_do_chop() ahead of building gamma tables in pngrtran.c
-    This avoids building 16-bit gamma tables unnecessarily.
-  Removed a harmless extra png_set_invert_alpha() from pngwrite.c
-  Bugfixes and improvements to CMakeLists.txt (Philip Lowman)
-  Moved CMakeLists.txt from scripts into the main libpng directory.
-  Patched ltmain.sh for wince support.
-  Added PNG_CONVERT_tIME_SUPPORTED macro.
-  Make inclusion of time.h in pngconf.h depend on PNG_CONVERT_tIME_SUPPORTED
-  Updated scripts/pngw32.def and projects/wince/png32ce.def
-  Copied projects/wince/png32ce.def to the scripts directory.
-  Added scripts/makefile.cegcc
-  Added PNG_DEPSTRUCT, PNG_DEPRECATED, PNG_USE_RESULT, PNG_NORETURN, and
-    PNG_ALLOCATED macros to detect deprecated direct access to the
-    png_struct or info_struct members and other deprecated usage in
-    applications (John Bowler).
-  Removed three direct references to read_info_ptr members in pngtest.c
-    that were detected by the new PNG_DEPSTRUCT macro.
-  Marked deprecated function prototypes with PNG_DEPRECATED.
-  Marked memory allocation function prototypes with PNG_ALLOCATED.
-  Changed png_check_sig() to !png_sig_cmp() in contrib programs.
-  Corrected the png_get_IHDR() call in contrib/gregbook/readpng2.c
-  Marked nonexported functions with PNG_PRIVATE macro.
-  Revised scripts/*.def to reflect functions actually exported by libpng.
-  Updated the copyright year in scripts/pngw32.rc from 2004 to 2009.
-  Moved descriptions of makefiles and other scripts out of INSTALL into
-    scripts/README.txt
-  Rebuilt the configure scripts with autoconf-2.65
-  Disabled the new pedantic warnings about deprecated function use and
-    deprecated structure access unless the user defines PNG_PEDANTIC_WARNINGS.
-  Added "#define PNG_NO_PEDANTIC_WARNINGS" in the libpng source files.
-  Updated the list of files and made some cosmetic changes in README.
