Libpng 1.0.5q - February 5, 2000

This is not intended to be a public release.  It will be replaced
within a few weeks by a public version or by another test version.

Changes since the last public release (1.0.5):

version libpng-1.0.5a October 23, 1999
  Added contrib/pngsuite and contrib/pngminus (Willem van Schaik)
  Fixed a typo in the png_set_sRGB() function call in example.c (Jan Nijtmans)
  Further optimization and bugfix of pngvcrd.c
  Revised pngset.c so that it does not allocate or free memory in the user's
    text_ptr structure.  Instead, it makes its own copy.
  Created separate write_end_info_struct in pngtest.c for a more severe test.
  Added code in pngwrite.c to free info_ptr->text[i].key to stop a memory leak.
version libpng-1.0.5b November 23, 1999
  Moved PNG_FLAG_HAVE_CHUNK_HEADER, PNG_FLAG_BACKGROUND_IS_GRAY and
    PNG_FLAG_WROTE_tIME from flags to mode.
  Added png_write_info_before_PLTE() function.
  Fixed some typecasting in contrib/gregbook/*.c
  Updated scripts/makevms.com and added makevms.com to contrib/gregbook
    and contrib/pngminus (Martin Zinser)
version libpng-1.0.5c November 26, 1999
  Moved png_get_header_version from png.h to png.c, to accomodate ansi2knr.
  Removed all global arrays (according to PNG_NO_GLOBAL_ARRAYS macro), to
    accomodate making DLL's: Moved usr_png_ver from global variable to function
    png_get_header_ver() in png.c.  Moved png_sig to png_sig_bytes in png.c and
    eliminated use of png_sig in pngwutil.c.  Moved the various png_CHNK arrays
    into pngtypes.h.  Eliminated use of global png_pass arrays.  Declared the
    png_CHNK and png_pass arrays to be "const".  Made the global arrays
    available to applications (although none are used in libpng itself) when
    PNG_NO_GLOBAL_ARRAYS is not defined or when PNG_GLOBAL_ARRAYS is defined.
  Removed some extraneous "-I" from contrib/pngminus/makefile.std
  Changed the PNG_sRGB_INTENT macros in png.h to be consistent with PNG-1.2.
  Change PNG_SRGB_INTENT to PNG_sRGB_INTENT in libpng.txt and libpng.3
version libpng-1.0.5d November 29, 1999
  Add type cast (png_const_charp) two places in png.c
  Eliminated pngtypes.h; use macros instead to declare PNG_CHNK arrays.
  Renamed "PNG_GLOBAL_ARRAYS" to "PNG_USE_GLOBAL_ARRAYS" and made available
    to applications a macro "PNG_USE_LOCAL_ARRAYS".
  #ifdef out all the new declarations when PNG_USE_GLOBAL_ARRAYS is defined.
  Added PNG_EXPORT_VAR macro to accommodate making DLL's.
version libpng-1.0.5e November 30, 1999
  Added iCCP, iTXt, and sPLT support; added "lang" member to the png_text
    structure; refactored the inflate/deflate support to make adding new chunks
    with trailing compressed parts easier in the future, and added new functions
    png_free_iCCP, png_free_pCAL, png_free_sPLT, png_free_text, png_get_iCCP,
    png_get_spalettes, png_set_iCCP, png_set_spalettes (Eric S. Raymond).
  NOTE: Applications that write text chunks MUST define png_text->lang. Before
    calling png_set_text(). It must be set to NULL if you want to write tEXt or
    zTXt chunks.  If you want your application to be able to 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
    offsets (Eric S. Raymond).
  Combined PNG_READ_cHNK_SUPPORTED and PNG_WRITE_cHNK_SUPPORTED macros into
    PNG_cHNK_SUPPORTED and combined the three types of PNG_text_SUPPORTED
    macros, leaving the separate macros also available.
  Removed comments on #endifs at the end of many short, non-nested #if-blocks.
version libpng-1.0.5f December 6, 1999
  Changed makefile.solaris to issue a warning about potential problems when
    the ucb "ld" is in the path ahead of the ccs "ld".
  Removed "- [date]" from the "synopsis" line in libpng.3 and libpngpf.3.
  Added sCAL chunk support (Eric S. Raymond).
version libpng-1.0.5g December 7, 1999
  Fixed "png_free_spallettes" typo in png.h
  Added code to handle new chunks in pngpread.c
  Moved PNG_CHNK string macro definitions outside of PNG_NO_EXTERN block
  Added "translated_key" to png_text structure and png_write_iTXt().
  Added code in pngwrite.c to work around a newly discovered zlib bug.
version libpng-1.0.5h December 10, 1999
  NOTE: regarding the note for version 1.0.5e, the following must also
    be included in your code:
        png_text[i].translated_key = NULL;
  Unknown chunk handling is now supported.
  Option to eliminate all floating point support was added.  Some new
    fixed-point functions such as png_set_gAMA_fixed() were added.
version libpng-1.0.5i December 13, 1999
  Added some type casts to silence compiler warnings.
  Renamed "png_free_spalette" to "png_free_spalettes" for consistency.
  Removed leading blanks from a #define in pngvcrd.c
  Added some parameters to the new png_set_keep_unknown_chunks() function,
    and relocated it in pngset.c
  Added a test for up->location != 0 in the first instance of writing
    unknown chunks in pngwrite.c
  Changed "num" to "i" in png_free_spalettes() and png_free_unknowns() to
    prevent recursion.
  Added png_free_hIST() function.
  Various patches to fix bugs in the sCAL and integer cHRM processing,
    and to add some convenience macros for use with sCAL.
version libpng-1.0.5j December 21, 1999
  Changed "unit" parameter of png_write_sCAL from png_byte to int, to work
    around buggy compilers.
  Added new type "png_fixed_point" for integers that hold float*100000 values
  Restored backward compatibility of tEXt/zTXt chunk processing:
    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.  Restored the first
    four members of png_text to the same order as v.1.0.5d.  The "Note" above,
    about backward incompatibility of libpng-1.0.5e, no longer applies.
  Added PNG_ITXT_COMPRESSION_NONE (1) and PNG_ITXT_COMPRESSION_zTXt(2) macros.
  Fixed png_read|write_iTXt() to read|write parameters in the right order.
    and to write the iTXt chunk after IDAT if it appears in the end_ptr.
  Added pnggccrd.c, version of pngvcrd.c Intel assembler for gcc (Greg Roelofs)
  Reversed the order of trying to write floating-point and fixed-point gAMA.
version libpng-1.0.5k December 27, 1999
  Added many parentheses, e.g., "if (a && b & c)" becomes "if (a && (b & c))"
  Added png_handle_as_unknown()
  Added png_free_chunk_list() function and chunk_list and num_chunk_list members
    of png_ptr.
  Eliminated erroneous warnings about multiple sPLT chunks and sPLT-after-PLTE.
  Fixed a libpng-1.0.5h bug in pngrutil.c that was issuing erroneous warnings
    about ignoring incorrect gAMA with sRGB (gAMA was in fact not ignored)
  Added png_free_tRNS(); png_set_tRNS() now malloc's its own trans array (ESR).
  Define png_get_int_32 when oFFs chunk is supported as well as when pCAL is.
  Changed type of proflen from png_int_32 to png_uint_32 in png_get_iCCP().
version libpng-1.0.5l January 1, 2000
  Added functions png_set_read_user_chunk_fn() and png_get_user_chunk_ptr()
    for setting a callback function to handle unknown chunks and for
    retrieving the associated user pointer (Glenn).
version 1.0.5m [January 7, 2000]
  Added high-level functions png_read_png(), png_write_png(), png_free_pixels().
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
    application to free its copy of the palette any time after it calls
    png_set_PLTE().
version 1.0.5o [January 20, 2000]
  Cosmetic changes only (removed some trailing blanks and TABs)
version 1.0.5p [January 31, 2000]
  Renamed pngdll.mak to makefile.bd32
  Cosmetic changes in pngtest.c
version 1.0.5q [February 5, 2000]
  Relocated the makefile.solaris warning about PATH problems.
  Fixed pngvcrd.c bug by pushing/popping registers in mmxsupport (Bruce Oberg)
  Revised makefile.gcmmx
