Changes since the last public release (1.6.18):
|
||||
Changes since the last public release (1.6.19):
|
||||
|
||||
Updated obsolete information about the simplified API macros in the
|
||||
manual pages (Bug report by Arc Riley).
|
||||
Avoid potentially dereferencing NULL info_ptr in png_info_init_3().
|
||||
Rearranged png.h to put the major sections in the same order as
|
||||
in libpng17.
|
||||
Eliminated unused PNG_COST_SHIFT, PNG_WEIGHT_SHIFT, PNG_COST_FACTOR, and
|
||||
PNG_WEIGHT_FACTOR macros.
|
||||
Suppressed some warnings from the Borland C++ 5.5.1/5.82 compiler
|
||||
(Bug report by Viktor Szakats). Several warnings remain and are
|
||||
unavoidable, where we test for overflow.
|
||||
Fixed potential leak of png_pixels in contrib/pngminus/pnm2png.c
|
||||
Fixed uninitialized variable in contrib/gregbook/rpng2-x.c
|
||||
Moved config.h.in~ from the "libpng_autotools_files" list to the
|
||||
"libpng_autotools_extra" list in autogen.sh because it was causing a
|
||||
false positive for missing files (bug report by Robert C. Seacord).
|
||||
Removed unreachable "break" statements in png.c, pngread.c, and pngrtran.c
|
||||
to suppress clang warnings (Bug report by Viktor Szakats).
|
||||
Fixed some bad links in the man page.
|
||||
Changed "n bit" to "n-bit" in comments.
|
||||
Added signed/unsigned 16-bit safety net. This removes the dubious
|
||||
0x8000 flag definitions on 16-bit systems. They aren't supported
|
||||
yet the defs *probably* work, however it seems much safer to do this
|
||||
and be advised if anyone, contrary to advice, is building libpng 1.6
|
||||
on a 16-bit system. It also adds back various switch default clauses
|
||||
for GCC; GCC errors out if they are not present (with an appropriately
|
||||
high level of warnings).
|
||||
Safely convert num_bytes to a png_byte in png_set_sig_bytes() (Robert
|
||||
Seacord).
|
||||
Fixed the recently reported 1's complement security issue by replacing
|
||||
the value that is illegal in the PNG spec, in both signed and unsigned
|
||||
values, with 0. Illegal unsigned values (anything greater than or equal
|
||||
to 0x80000000) can still pass through, but since these are not illegal
|
||||
in ANSI-C (unlike 0x80000000 in the signed case) the checking that
|
||||
occurs later can catch them (John Bowler).
|
||||
Fixed png_save_int_32 when int is not 2's complement (John Bowler).
|
||||
Updated libpng16 with all the recent test changes from libpng17,
|
||||
including changes to pngvalid.c to ensure that the original,
|
||||
distributed, version of contrib/visupng/cexcept.h can be used
|
||||
(John Bowler).
|
||||
pngvalid contains the correction to the use of SAVE/STORE_
|
||||
UNKNOWN_CHUNKS; a bug revealed by changes in libpng 1.7. More
|
||||
tests contain the --strict option to detect warnings and the
|
||||
pngvalid-standard test has been corrected so that it does not
|
||||
turn on progressive-read. There is a separate test which does
|
||||
that. (John Bowler)
|
||||
Also made some signed/unsigned fixes.
|
||||
Make pngstest error limits version specific. Splitting the machine
|
||||
generated error structs out to a file allows the values to be updated
|
||||
without changing pngstest.c itself. Since libpng 1.6 and 1.7 have
|
||||
slightly different error limits this simplifies maintenance. The
|
||||
makepngs.sh script has also been updated to more accurately reflect
|
||||
current problems in libpng 1.7 (John Bowler).
|
||||
Incorporated new test PNG files into make check. tests/pngstest-*
|
||||
are changed so that the new test files are divided into 8 groups by
|
||||
gamma and alpha channel. These tests have considerably better code
|
||||
and pixel-value coverage than contrib/pngsuite; however,coverage is
|
||||
still incomplete (John Bowler).
|
||||
Removed the '--strict' in 1.6 because of the double-gamma-correction
|
||||
warning, updated pngstest-errors.h for the errors detected with the
|
||||
new contrib/testspngs PNG test files (John Bowler).
|
||||
Worked around rgb-to-gray issues in libpng 1.6. The previous
|
||||
attempts to ignore the errors in the code aren't quite enough to
|
||||
deal with the 'channel selection' encoding added to libpng 1.7; abort.
|
||||
Fixed 'pow' macros in pngvalid.c. It is legal for 'pow' to be a
|
||||
macro, therefore the argument list cannot contain preprocessing
|
||||
directives. Make sure pow is a function where this happens. This is
|
||||
a minimal safe fix, the issue only arises in non-performance-critical
|
||||
code (bug report by Curtis Leach, fix by John Bowler).
|
||||
Added sPLT support to pngtest.c
|
||||
Prevent setting or writing over-length PLTE chunk (Cosmin Truta).
|
||||
Silently truncate over-length PLTE chunk while reading.
|
||||
Libpng incorrectly calculated the output rowbytes when the application
|
||||
decreased either the number of channels or the bit depth (or both) in
|
||||
a user transform. This was safe; libpng overallocated buffer space
|
||||
(potentially by quite a lot; up to 4 times the amount required) but,
|
||||
from 1.5.4 on, resulted in a png_error (John Bowler).
|
||||
Fixed some inconsequential cut-and-paste typos in png_set_cHRM_XYZ_fixed().
|
||||
Clarified COPYRIGHT information to state explicitly that versions
|
||||
are derived from previous versions.
|
||||
Removed much of the long list of previous versions from png.h and
|
||||
libpng.3.
