configure. In configure builds 'make install' changes/adds links like png.h
and libpng.a to point to the newly installed, versioned, files (e.g.
libpng17/png.h and libpng17.a). Three new configure options and some
rearrangement of Makefile.am allow creation of these links to be disabled.
to a lack of checks on cross-builds such as ARM. Makefile.am also
requires correct dependencies for the check programs on pnglibconf.h
otherwise parallel builds on fast machines can sometimes pick up the
system pnglibconf.h.
prefixing This adds an API to set optimization options externally,
providing an alternative and general solution for the non-portable
run-time tests used by the ARM Neon code. It also makes those tests
compile and link on Android.
The order of settings vs options in pnglibconf.h is reversed to allow
settings to depend on options and options can now set (or override) the
defaults for settings.
source files. This change might make the check for a special C preprocessor
unnecessary, and it also eliminates the requirement for sed in the
configure build process. NOTE: this is incomplete, a change must also
be made to pnglibconf.mak
is split out entirely to the arm subdirectory and changes to configure.ac and
Makefile.am to add new stuff are reduced. Now material code changes,
although for build test purposes, --enable-arm-neon now builds on non-ARM
systems.
Rebuilt Makefile.in, configure, etc., with autoconf-2.69 and automake-1.2.5.
Added a make macro DFNCPP that is a CPP that will accept the tokens in
a .dfn file and adds configure stuff to test for such a CPP. ./configure
should fail if one is not available.
Fixed point APIs are now supported throughout (no missing APIs).
Internal fixed point arithmetic support exists for all internal floating
point operations.
sCAL validates the floating point strings it is passed.
Safe, albeit rudimentary, Watcom support is provided by PNG_API_RULE==2
Two new APIs exist to get the number of passes without turning on the
PNG_INTERLACE transform and to get the number of rows in the current
pass.
A new test program, pngvalid.c, validates the gamma code.
Errors in the 16 bit gamma correction (overflows) have been corrected.
cHRM chunk testing is done consistently (previously the floating point
API bypassed it, because the test really didn't work on FP, now the test
is performed on the actual values to be stored in the PNG file so it
works in the FP case too.)
Most floating point APIs now simply call the fixed point APIs after
converting the values to the fixed point form used in the PNG file.
The standard headers no longer include zlib.h, which is currently only
required for pngstruct.h and can therefore be internal.
