/*
|
||||
* Y2K compliance in libpng:
|
||||
* =========================
|
||||
*
|
||||
* July 15, 2018
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Since the PNG Development group is an ad-hoc body, we can't make
|
||||
* an official declaration.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* This is your unofficial assurance that libpng from version 0.71 and
|
||||
* upward through 1.6.35 are Y2K compliant. It is my belief that
|
||||
* earlier versions were also Y2K compliant.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Libpng only has two year fields. One is a 2-byte unsigned integer
|
||||
* that will hold years up to 65535. The other, which is deprecated,
|
||||
* holds the date in text format, and will hold years up to 9999.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The integer is
|
||||
* "png_uint_16 year" in png_time_struct.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The string is
|
||||
* "char time_buffer[29]" in png_struct. This is no longer used
|
||||
* in libpng-1.6.x and will be removed from libpng-1.7.0.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* There are seven time-related functions:
|
||||
* png.c: png_convert_to_rfc_1123_buffer() in png.c
|
||||
* (formerly png_convert_to_rfc_1123() prior to libpng-1.5.x and
|
||||
* png_convert_to_rfc_1152() in error prior to libpng-0.98)
|
||||
* png_convert_from_struct_tm() in pngwrite.c, called in pngwrite.c
|
||||
* png_convert_from_time_t() in pngwrite.c
|
||||
* png_get_tIME() in pngget.c
|
||||
* png_handle_tIME() in pngrutil.c, called in pngread.c
|
||||
* png_set_tIME() in pngset.c
|
||||
* png_write_tIME() in pngwutil.c, called in pngwrite.c
|
||||
*
|
||||
* All handle dates properly in a Y2K environment. The
|
||||
* png_convert_from_time_t() function calls gmtime() to convert from system
|
||||
* clock time, which returns (year - 1900), which we properly convert to
|
||||
* the full 4-digit year. There is a possibility that libpng applications
|
||||
* are not passing 4-digit years into the png_convert_to_rfc_1123_buffer()
|
||||
* function, or that they are incorrectly passing only a 2-digit year
|
||||
* instead of "year - 1900" into the png_convert_from_struct_tm() function,
|
||||
* but this is not under our control. The libpng documentation has always
|
||||
* stated that it works with 4-digit years, and the APIs have been
|
||||
* documented as such.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The tIME chunk itself is also Y2K compliant. It uses a 2-byte unsigned
|
||||
* integer to hold the year, and can hold years as large as 65535.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* zlib, upon which libpng depends, is also Y2K compliant. It contains
|
||||
* no date-related code.
