Libpng 1.0.7beta11 - May 6, 2000
This is a public release of libpng, intended for use in production codes.
Changes since the last public release (1.0.6):
Changed sprintf() to strcpy() in png_write_sCAL_s() to work without STDIO
Added data_length parameter to png_decompress_chunk() function
Revised documentation to remove reference to abandoned png_free_chnk functions
Fixed an error in png_rgb_to_gray_fixed()
Revised example.c, usage of png_destroy_write_struct().
Renamed makefile.ibmvac3 to makefile.ibmc, added libpng.icc IBM project file
Added a check for info_ptr->free_me&PNG_FREE_TEXT when free'ing text in png.c
Simplify png_sig_bytes() function to remove use of non-ISO-C strdup().
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)
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.
Revised png_set_iCCP() and png_set_rows() to avoid prematurely freeing data.
Add checks in png_set_text() for NULL members of the input text structure.
Removed superfluous prototype for png_set_itxt from png.h
Removed "else" from pngread.c, after png_error(), and changed "0" to "length".
Changed several png_errors about malformed ancillary chunks to png_warnings.
Added png_pass-* arrays to pnggccrd.c when PNG_USE_LOCAL_ARRAYS is defined.
Relocated paragraph about png_set_background() in libpng.3/libpng.txt
and other revisions (Matthias Benckmann)
Relocated info_ptr->free_me to restore binary compatibility with libpng-1.0.5
(breaks compatibility with libpng-1.0.6).
Relocated info_ptr->free_me, png_ptr->free_me, and other info_ptr and
png_ptr members to restore binary compatibility with libpng-1.0.5
(breaks compatibility with libpng-1.0.6).
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 makefile.intel and updated makefile.watcom (Pawel Mrochen)
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.
In png_set_text, check if old application had allocated the png_text structure;
if so, only allow one text chunk to be processed to avoid memory overrun.
Added PNGAPI macro, and added it to the definitions of all exported functions.
