|
||||
Changes since the last public release (1.6.0):
|
||||
|
||||
Version 1.6.0beta01 [December 15, 2011]
|
||||
Removed machine-generated configure files from the GIT repository (they will
|
||||
continue to appear in the tarball distributions).
|
||||
Restored the new 'simplified' API, which was started in libpng-1.5.7beta02
|
||||
but later deleted from libpng-1.5.7beta05.
|
||||
Added example programs for the new 'simplified' API.
|
||||
Added ANSI-C (C90) headers and require them, and take advantage of the
|
||||
change. Also fixed some of the projects/* and contrib/* files that needed
|
||||
updates for libpng16 and the move of pngvalid.c.
|
||||
With this change the required ANSI-C header files are assumed to exist: the
|
||||
implementation must provide float.h, limits.h, stdarg.h and stddef.h and
|
||||
libpng relies on limits.h and stddef.h existing and behaving as defined
|
||||
(the other two required headers aren't used). Non-ANSI systems that don't
|
||||
have stddef.h or limits.h will have to provide an appropriate fake
|
||||
containing the relevant types and #defines.
|
||||
The use of FAR/far has been eliminated and the definition of png_alloc_size_t
|
||||
is now controlled by a flag so that 'small size_t' systems can select it
|
||||
if necessary. Libpng 1.6 may not currently work on such systems -- it
|
||||
seems likely that it will ask 'malloc' for more than 65535 bytes with any
|
||||
image that has a sufficiently large row size (rather than simply failing
|
||||
to read such images).
|
||||
New tools directory containing tools used to generate libpng code.
|
||||
Fixed race conditions in parallel make builds. With higher degrees of
|
||||
parallelism during 'make' the use of the same temporary file names such
|
||||
as 'dfn*' can result in a race where a temporary file from one arm of the
|
||||
build is deleted or overwritten in another arm. This changes the
|
||||
temporary files for suffix rules to always use $* and ensures that the
|
||||
non-suffix rules use unique file names.
|
||||
Version 1.6.1beta01 [February 16, 2013]
|
||||
Made symbol prefixing work with the ARM neon optimizations. Also allow
|
||||
pngpriv.h to be included for preprocessor definitions only, so it can
|
||||
be used in non-C/C++ files. Back ported from libpng 1.7.
|
||||
Made sRGB check numbers consistent.
|
||||
Ported libpng 1.5 options.awk/dfn file handling to 1.6, fixed one bug.
|
||||
Removed cc -E workround, corrected png_get_palette_max API Tested on
|
||||
SUN OS cc 5.9, which demonstrates the tokenization problem previously
|
||||
avoided by using /lib/cpp. Since all .dfn output is now protected in
|
||||
double quotes unless it is to be macro substituted the fix should
|
||||
work everywhere.
|
||||
Enabled parallel tests - back ported from libpng-1.7.
|
||||
scripts/pnglibconf.dfa formatting improvements back ported from libpng17.
|
||||
Fixed a race condition in the creation of the build 'scripts' directory
|
||||
while building with a parallel make.
|
||||
Use approved/supported Android method to check for NEON, use Linux/POSIX
|
||||
1003.1 API to check /proc/self/auxv avoiding buffer allocation and other
|
||||
library calls (ported from libpng15).
|
||||
|
||||
Version 1.6.0beta02 [December 21, 2011]
|
||||
Correct configure builds where build and source directories are separate.
|
||||
The include path of 'config.h' was erroneously made relative in pngvalid.c
|
||||
in libpng 1.5.7.
|
||||
Version 1.6.1beta02 [February 19, 2013]
|
||||
Use parentheses more consistently in "#if defined(MACRO)" tests.
|
||||
Folded long lines.
|
||||
Reenabled code to allow zero length PLTE chunks for MNG.
|
||||
|
||||
Version 1.6.0beta03 [December 22, 2011]
|
||||
Start-up code size improvements, error handler flexibility. These changes
|
||||
alter how the tricky allocation of the initial png_struct and png_info
|
||||
structures are handled. png_info is now handled in pretty much the same
|
||||
way as everything else, except that the allocations handle NULL return
|
||||
silently. png_struct is changed in a similar way on allocation and on
|
||||
deallocation a 'safety' error handler is put in place (which should never
|
||||
be required). The error handler itself is changed to permit mismatches
|
||||
in the application and libpng error buffer size; however, this means a
|
||||
silent change to the API to return the jmp_buf if the size doesn't match
|
||||
the size from the libpng compilation; libpng now allocates the memory and
|
||||
this may fail. Overall these changes result in slight code size
|
||||
reductions; however, this is a reduction in code that is always executed
|
||||
so is particularly valuable. Overall on a 64-bit system the libpng DLL
|
||||
decreases in code size by 1733 bytes. pngerror.o increases in size by
|
||||
about 465 bytes because of the new functionality.
|
||||
Version 1.6.1beta03 [February 22, 2013]
|
||||
Fixed ALIGNED_MEMORY support.
|
||||
Allow run-time ARM NEON checking to be disabled. A new configure option:
|
||||
--enable-arm-neon=always will stop the run-time checks. New checks
|
||||
within arm/arm_init.c will cause the code not to be compiled unless
|
||||
__ARM_NEON__ is set. This should make it fail safe (if someone asks
|
||||
for it on then the build will fail if it can't be done.)
|
||||
Updated the INSTALL document.
|
||||
|
||||
Version 1.6.0beta04 [December 30, 2011]
|
||||
Regenerated configure scripts with automake-1.11.2
|
||||
Eliminated png_info_destroy(). It is now used only in png.c and only calls
|
||||
one other internal function and memset().
|
||||
Enabled png_get_sCAL_fixed() if floating point APIs are enabled. Previously
|
||||
it was disabled whenever internal fixed point arithmetic was selected,
|
||||
which meant it didn't exist even on systems where FP was available but not
|
||||
preferred.
|
||||
Added pngvalid.c compile time checks for const APIs.
|
||||
Implemented 'restrict' for png_info and png_struct. Because of the way
|
||||
libpng works both png_info and png_struct are always accessed via a
|
||||
single pointer. This means adding C99 'restrict' to the pointer gives
|
||||
the compiler some opportunity to optimize the code. This change allows
|
||||
that.
|
||||
Moved AC_MSG_CHECKING([if libraries can be versioned]) later to the proper
|
||||
location in configure.ac (Gilles Espinasse).
|
||||
Changed png_memcpy to C assignment where appropriate. Changed all those
|
||||
uses of png_memcpy that were doing a simple assignment to assignments
|
||||
(all those cases where the thing being copied is a non-array C L-value).
|
||||
Added some error checking to png_set_*() routines.
|
||||
Removed the reference to the non-exported function png_memcpy() from
|
||||
example.c.
|
||||
Fixed the Visual C 64-bit build - it requires jmp_buf to be aligned, but
|
||||
it had become misaligned.
|
||||
Revised contrib/pngminus/pnm2png.c to avoid warnings when png_uint_32
|
||||
and unsigned long are of different sizes.
|
||||
Version 1.6.1beta04 [February 27, 2013]
|
||||
Revised INSTALL to recommend using CPPFLAGS instead of INCLUDES.
|
||||
Revised scripts/makefile.freebsd to respect ZLIBLIB and ZLIBINC.
|
||||
Revised scripts/dfn.awk to work with the buggy MSYS awk that has trouble
|
||||
with CRLF line endings.
|
||||
|
||||
Version 1.6.0beta05 [February 3, 2012]
|
||||
Updated manual with description of the simplified API (copied from png.h)
|
||||
Fix bug in pngerror.c: some long warnings were being improperly truncated
|
||||
(bug introduced in libpng-1.5.3beta05).
|
||||
Version 1.6.1beta05 [March 2, 2013]
|
||||
Avoid a possible memory leak in contrib/gregbook/readpng.c
|
||||
Fixed bug introduced in libpng-1.6.0beta28 that causes libpng to handle chunks
|
||||
even when they have been tagged PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_NEVER.
