Get libpng-*.tar.gz, -libpng-*.tar.lzma, or libpng-*.tar.bz2 if you want UNIX-style line -endings in the text files, or lpng*.7z or lpng*.zip if you want DOS-style -line endings. - -Version 0.89 was the first official release of libpng. Don't let the -fact that it's the first release fool you. The libpng library has been in -extensive use and testing since mid-1995. By late 1997 it had -finally gotten to the stage where there hadn't been significant -changes to the API in some time, and people have a bad feeling about -libraries with versions < 1.0. Version 1.0.0 was released in -March 1998. - -**** -Note that some of the changes to the png_info structure render this -version of the library binary incompatible with libpng-0.89 or -earlier versions if you are using a shared library. The type of the -"filler" parameter for png_set_filler() has changed from png_byte to -png_uint_32, which will affect shared-library applications that use -this function. - -To avoid problems with changes to the internals of png_info_struct, -new APIs have been made available in 0.95 to avoid direct application -access to info_ptr. These functions are the png_set_ and -png_get_ functions. These functions should be used when -accessing/storing the info_struct data, rather than manipulating it -directly, to avoid such problems in the future. - -It is important to note that the APIs do not make current programs -that access the info struct directly incompatible with the new -library. However, it is strongly suggested that new programs use -the new APIs (as shown in example.c and pngtest.c), and older programs -be converted to the new format, to facilitate upgrades in the future. -**** - -Additions since 0.90 include the ability to compile libpng as a -Windows DLL, and new APIs for accessing data in the info struct. -Experimental functions include the ability to set weighting and cost -factors for row filter selection, direct reads of integers from buffers -on big-endian processors that support misaligned data access, faster -methods of doing alpha composition, and more accurate 16->8 bit color -conversion. - -The additions since 0.89 include the ability to read from a PNG stream -which has had some (or all) of the signature bytes read by the calling -application. This also allows the reading of embedded PNG streams that -do not have the PNG file signature. As well, it is now possible to set -the library action on the detection of chunk CRC errors. It is possible -to set different actions based on whether the CRC error occurred in a -critical or an ancillary chunk. - -The changes made to the library, and bugs fixed are based on discussions -on the PNG-implement mailing list -and not on material submitted privately to Guy, Andreas, or Glenn. They will -forward any good suggestions to the list. - -For a detailed description on using libpng, read libpng.txt. For -examples of libpng in a program, see example.c and pngtest.c. For usage -information and restrictions (what little they are) on libpng, see -png.h. For a description on using zlib (the compression library used by -libpng) and zlib's restrictions, see zlib.h - -I have included a general makefile, as well as several machine and -compiler specific ones, but you may have to modify one for your own needs. - -You should use zlib 1.0.4 or later to run this, but it MAY work with -versions as old as zlib 0.95. Even so, there are bugs in older zlib -versions which can cause the output of invalid compression streams for -some images. You will definitely need zlib 1.0.4 or later if you are -taking advantage of the MS-DOS "far" structure allocation for the small -and medium memory models. You should also note that zlib is a -compression library that is useful for more things than just PNG files. -You can use zlib as a drop-in replacement for fread() and fwrite() if -you are so inclined. - -zlib should be available at the same place that libpng is, or at -ftp://ftp.simplesystems.org/pub/png/src/ - -You may also want a copy of the PNG specification. It is available -as an RFC, a W3C Recommendation, and an ISO/IEC Standard. You can find -these at http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/pngdocs.html - -This code is currently being archived at libpng.sf.net in the -[DOWNLOAD] area, and on CompuServe, Lib 20 (PNG SUPPORT) -at GO GRAPHSUP. If you can't find it in any of those places, -e-mail me, and I'll help you find it. - -If you have any code changes, requests, problems, etc., please e-mail -them to me. Also, I'd appreciate any make files or project files, -and any modifications you needed to make to get libpng to compile, -along with a #define variable to tell what compiler/system you are on. -If you needed to add transformations to libpng, or wish libpng would -provide the image in a different way, drop me a note (and code, if -possible), so I can consider supporting the transformation. -Finally, if you get any warning messages when compiling libpng -(note: not zlib), and they are easy to fix, I'd appreciate the -fix. Please mention "libpng" somewhere in the subject line. Thanks. - -This release was created and will be supported by myself (of course -based in a large way on Guy's and Andreas' earlier work), and the PNG group. - -Send comments/corrections/commendations to png-mng-implement at lists.sf.net -(subscription required; visit -https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/png-mng-implement -to subscribe) or to glennrp at users.sourceforge.net - -You can't reach Guy, the original libpng author, at the addresses -given in previous versions of this document. He and Andreas will read mail -addressed to the png-implement list, however. - -Please do not send general questions about PNG. Send them to -the (png-mng-misc at lists.sourceforge.net, subscription required, visit -https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/png-mng-implement to subscribe) -On the other hand, -please do not send libpng questions to that address, send them to me -or to the png-implement list. I'll -get them in the end anyway. If you have a question about something -in the PNG specification that is related to using libpng, send it -to me. Send me any questions that start with "I was using libpng, -and ...". If in doubt, send questions to me. I'll bounce them -to others, if necessary. - -Please do not send suggestions on how to change PNG. We have -been discussing PNG for twelve years now, and it is official and -finished. If you have suggestions for libpng, however, I'll -gladly listen. Even if your suggestion is not used immediately, -it may be used later. - -Files in this distribution: - - ANNOUNCE => Announcement of this version, with recent changes - CHANGES => Description of changes between libpng versions -
