Changes since the last public release (1.6.0):

Version 1.7.0alpha01 [December 15, 2012]
  Started 1.7.0 branch from libpng-1.6.0beta33.
  Made 8-bit compose and rgb_to_grayscale accuracy improvements.  These
    changes cause 16-bit arithmetic to be used for 8-bit data in the gamma
    corrected compose and grayscale operations.  The arithmetic errors have
    three sources all of which are fixed in this commit:
    1) 8-bit linear calculations produce massive errors for lower intensity
       values.
    2) The old 16-bit "16 to 8" gamma table code erroneously wrote the lowest
       output value into a table entry which corresponded to multiple output
       values (so where the value written should have been the closest to the
       transformed input value.)
    3) In a number of cases the code to access the 16-bit table did not round;
       it did a simple shift, which was wrong and made the side effects of (2)
       even worse.
  The new gamma code does not have the 16-to-8 problem at the cost of slightly
    more calculations and the algorithm used to minimize the number of
    calculations has been extended to all the 16-bit tables; it has advantages
    for any significant gamma correction.
  Rearranged png_struct, remove unused members, change png_set_filter handling
    png_struct members rearranged - partly to reorder to avoid packing, partly
    to put frequently accessed members at the start and partly to make
    the grouping more clear. png_set_filter code has been rewritten and the
    code shared with png_write_start_row moved to a common function.  Comments
    in png.h have been made more clear. Minor fixes to
    contrib/libtests/timepng.c and some of the png_*_tRNS logic, including
    more error detection in png_set_tRNS.
  Cleaned up USER_LIMITS feature, removing members from png_struct when not
    required.
  Rearranged ARM-NEON optimizations to isolate the machine specific code to
    the hardware subdirectory, and add comments to pngrutil.c so that
    implementors of other optimizations will know what to do.
  Fixed cases of unquoted DESTDIR in Makefile.am.
  Rebuilt Makefile.in, configure, etc., with autoconf-2.69 and automake-1.12.5.

Version 1.7.0alpha02 [December 17, 2012]
  Removed functions that were deprecated in libpng-1.6.0:
    png_reset_zstream(), png_info_init_3(), and png_data_freer() and its
    associated flags.
  Removed some duplicated lines from contrib/tools/scale.c and png.c.
  Changed some instances of png_warning() to png_app_error().
  Updated some left over "1.6.0beta32" in code sources.
  Fixed a "png_structp" prototype (should be png_structrp) in arm_init.c
  Updated the version-number hack in pngvalid.c

Version 1.7.0alpha03 [December 19, 2012]
  Cleaned up and enhanced the configure option; libpng now correctly
    links and tests against zlib with a prefix; tests have been clarified; and
    irrelevant or obsolete things (as defined by the autotools man page) have
    been removed.
  Documented new PNG_ABORT behavior in the manual and commentary in pngerror.c
  Cleaned up whitespace in the synopsis portion of the manpage "libpng.3"
  Fixed previous support for Z_PREFIX in configure builds, corrected sCAL APIs;
    some of these use floating point arithmetic so they need to be disabled if
    floating point arithmetic is switched off.  This is a quiet API change -
    previously it appeared that the APIs were supported if fixed point
    arithmetic was used internally, however they required certain APIs (floor,
    modf, frexp, atof) that are part of C floating point support. Changed
    png_fixed and the gamma code specific version of the same to avoid floor(),
    which may be a library function (not an intrinsic). Removed unused #if 0
    code.
  Disassembled the version number in scripts/options.awk (necessary for
    building on SunOs).

Version 1.7.0alpha04 [December 23, 2012]
  Added scripts/makefile.msys contributed by Christopher M. Wheeler
  Made default Zlib compression settings be configurable. This adds #defines to
    pnglibconf.h to control the defaults.
  Fixed Windows build issues, enabled ARM compilation. Various warnings issued
    by earlier versions of GCC fixed for Cygwin and Min/GW (which both use old
    GCCs.) ARM support is enabled by default in zlib.props (unsupported by
    Microsoft) and ARM compilation is made possible by deleting the check for
    x86. The test programs cannot be run because they are not signed.

Version 1.7.0alpha05 [December 24, 2012]
  Discontinued distributing libpng-1.x.x.tar.bz2.
  Discontinued distributing libpng-1.7.0-1.6.0-diff.txt and similar.

Version 1.7.0alpha06 [January 1, 2013]
  Fixed 'make distcheck' on SUN OS - libpng.so was not being removed

Version 1.7.0alpha07 [January 10, 2013]
  Fixed conceivable but difficult to repro overflow. Also added two test
    programs to generate and test a PNG which should have the problem.

Version 1.7.0alpha08 [January 17, 2013]
  Corrected previous attempt at overflow detection in png_set_unknown_chunks().

Version 1.7.0alpha09 [January 21, 2013]
  Pulled changes to multi-chunk handling from libpng-1.6.0beta40.

Version 1.7.0alpha10 [February 5, 2013]
  Make 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.
  Added png_get_palette_max() function.
  Changed png_size_t to size_t throughout headers, make sRGB check numbers
    consistent.
  Fixed ARM support (Mans Rullgard).
  Removed stray out-of-order #endif and #ifdef (Mans Rullgard).
  Ported libpng 1.5 options.awk/dfn file handling to 1.7, fixed one bug.
  Rebuilt Makefile.in, configure, etc., with autoconf-2.69 and automake-1.13.
  Minor fixes to assembler changes, verified with a dummy .S file
  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.

Version 1.7.0beta01 [February 15, 2013]
  Enable parallel tests and rearrange TESTS order to take advantage of
    the massive speed improvements use a make capable of parallel builds
    on a multi-CPU machine and pass the right arguments to make (-j10000
    for GNU make) to get the build to run in parallel.
  Fixed previous support for Z_PREFIX in configure builds, corrected
    sCAL APIs; some of these use floating point arithmetic so need to be
    disabled if floating point arithmetic is switched off.  This is a quiet API
    change - previously it appeared that the APIs were supported if fixed point
    arithmetic was used internally, however they required certain APIs (floor,
    modf, frexp, atof) that are part of C floating point support. Changed
    png_fixed and the gamma code specific version of the same to avoid floor(),
    which may be a library function (not an intrinsic). Removed unused #if 0
    code.
  Fixed make distcheck to skip over the test result files. They were
    being included because the whole of the 'tests' directory is included,
    fixed to just include the actual test files and tests/pngstest.  Also
    reverted the previous erroneous change to remove the ${srcdir} from the
    front of contrib, scripts, projects and added an explanation of what is
    going on to Makefile.am
  Fixed missing dependency in --prefix builds. The intermediate
    internal 'prefix.h' file can only be generated correctly after pnglibconf.h,
    however the dependency was not in Makefile.am.  The symptoms are
    unpredictable depending on the order make chooses to build pngprefix.h and
    pnglibconf.h, often the error goes unnoticed because there is a system
    pnglibconf.h to use instead.
  Accept "," as a separator in pnglibconf.dfa and allow for
    continuation lines. This adds to the syntax of "option" and "chunk" lines,
    allowing the elements to be separated by a "," at the end of an element and
    interpreting a "," at end of line as a continuation - so the following line
    is read.  The new syntax is optional and solely provided for readability.
  Enclosed the new png_get_palette_max in #ifdef PNG_GET_PALETTE_MAX_SUPPORTED
    block, and revised pnglibconf.h and pnglibconf.h.prebuilt accordingly.

Version 1.7.0beta02 [February 18, 2013]
  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).
  Use parentheses more consistently in "#if defined(MACRO)" tests.
  Folded long lines.

Version 1.7.0beta03 [February 22, 2013]
  Reenabled code to allow zero length PLTE chunks for MNG.
  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 1.7.0beta04 [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 1.7.0beta05 [March 5, 2013]
  Avoid a possible memory leak in contrib/gregbook/readpng.c
  Changed user chunk callback API to respect global and per chunk defaults.
    Previously a return of 0 from a user chunk callback would result in the
    chunk being saved (if this was safe, even if the chunk was unsafe-to-copy);
    this change respects the defaults set by the application, so unknown chunks
    can be discarded by default and known-safe ones preserved.
  Corrected Android builds and corrected libpng.vers with symbol
    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.

Version 1.7.0beta06 [March 13, 2013]
  Corrected simplified API default gamma for color-mapped output, added
    a flag to change default. In 1.6.0 when the simplified API was used
    to produce color-mapped output from an input image with no gamma
    information the gamma assumed for the input could be different from
    that assumed for non-color-mapped output.  In particular 16-bit depth
    input files were assumed to be sRGB encoded, whereas in the 'direct'
    case they were assumed to have linear data.  This was an error.  The
    fix makes the simplified API treat all input files the same way and
    adds a new flag to the png_image::flags member to allow the
    application/user to specify that 16-bit files contain sRGB data
    rather than the default linear.
  Fixed bugs in the pngpixel and makepng test programs.
  Fixed CMakelists.txt to allow building a single variant of the library
    (Claudio Bley):
  Introduced a PNG_LIB_TARGETS variable that lists all activated library
    targets.  It is an error if this variable ends up empty, ie. you have
    to build at least one library variant.
  Made the *_COPY targets only depend on library targets actually being build.
  Use PNG_LIB_TARGETS to unify a code path.
  Changed the CREATE_SYMLINK macro to expect the full path to a file as the
    first argument. When symlinking the filename component of that path is
    determined and used as the link target.
  Use copy_if_different in the CREATE_SYMLINK macro.
  Eliminated two warnings from the Intel C compiler. The warnings are
    technically valid, although a reasonable treatment of division would
    show it to be incorrect.

Version 1.7.0beta07 [April 14, 2013]
  Updated documentation of 1.5.x to 1.6.x changes in iCCP chunk handling.
  Fixed incorrect warning of excess deflate data. End condition - the
    warning would be produced if the end of the deflate stream wasn't read
    in the last row.  The warning is harmless.
  Corrected the test on user transform changes on read. It was in the
    png_set of the transform function, but that doesn't matter unless the
    transform function changes the rowbuf size, and that is only valid if
    transform_info is called.
  Corrected a misplaced closing bracket in contrib/libtests/pngvalid.c
    (Flavio Medeiros).
  Corrected length written to uncompressed iTXt chunks (Samuli Suominen).

Version 1.7.0beta08 [April 18, 2013]
  Added contrib/tools/fixitxt.c, to repair the erroneous iTXt chunk length
    written by libpng-1.6.0 and 1.6.1.
  Disallow storing sRGB information when the sRGB is not supported.

Version 1.7.0beta09 [April 24, 2013]
  Exposed PNG chunk types in png.h
  Modified png_uint_32 macros/code to make as few assumptions as possible
  Revised stack marking in arm/filter_neon.S and configure.ac
  Ensure that NEON filter stuff is completely disabled when switched 'off'.
    Previously the ARM NEON specific files were still built if the option
    was switched 'off' as opposed to being explicitly disabled.

Version 1.7.0beta10 [April 24, 2013]
  Attempt to fix the PNG_ARM_NEON configuration mess.

Version 1.7.0beta11 [April 26, 2013]
  Test for 'arm*', not just 'arm' in the host_cpu configure variable.

Version 1.7.0beta12 [April 30, 2013]
  Added png_app_warning for out-of-range unknown chunk index in
    png_set_unknown_chunk_location().
  Expanded manual paragraph about writing private chunks.
  Avoid dereferencing NULL pointer possibly returned from
     png_create_write_struct() (Andrew Church).

Version 1.7.0beta13 [May 12, 2013]
  Revised contrib/pngminim/*/makefile to generate pnglibconf.h with the
    right zlib header files.
  Separated CPPFLAGS and CFLAGS in contrib/pngminim/*/makefile
  Updated contrib/pngminus/pnm2png.c (Paul Stewart):
    Check for EOF
    Ignore "#" delimited comments in input file to pnm2png.c.
    Fixed whitespace handling
    Added a call to png_set_packing()
    Initialize dimension values so if sscanf fails at least we have known
      invalid values.
  Calculate our own zlib windowBits when decoding rather than trusting the
    CMF bytes in the PNG datastream.
  Added an option to force maximum window size for inflating, which was
    the behavior of libpng15 and earlier.
  Added png-fix-itxt and png-fix-too-far-back to the built programs and
    removed warnings from the source code and timepng that are revealed as
    a result.
  Detect wrong libpng versions linked to png-fix-too-far-back, which currently
    only works with libpng versions that can be made to reliably fail when
    the deflate data contains an out-of-window reference.  This means only
    1.6 and later.
  Attempt to detect configuration issues with png-fix-too-far-back, which
    requires both the correct libpng and the correct zlib to function
    correctly.
  Check ZLIB_VERNUM for mismatches, enclose #error in quotes
  Added information in the documentation about problems with and fixes for
    the bad CRC and bad iTXt chunk situations.

Version 1.7.0beta14 [June 8, 2013]
  Removed a redundant test in png_set_IHDR().
  Added set(CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES ...) to CMakeLists.txt (Andrew Hundt)
  Deleted set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE) block from CMakeLists.txt
  Enclose the prototypes for the simplified write API in #ifdef STDIO/#endif
  Make ARM NEON support work at compile time (not just configure time).
    This moves the test on __ARM_NEON__ into pngconf.h to avoid issues when
    using a compiler that compiles for multiple architectures at one time.
  Removed PNG_FILTER_OPTIMIZATIONS and PNG_ARM_NEON_SUPPORTED from
    pnglibconf.h, allowing more of the decisions to be made internally
    (pngpriv.h) during the compile.  Without this, symbol prefixing is broken
    under certain circumstances on ARM platforms.  Now only the API parts of
    the optimizations ('check' vs 'api') are exposed in the public header files
    except that the new setting PNG_ARM_NEON_OPT documents how libpng makes the
    decision about whether or not to use the optimizations.
  Protect symbol prefixing against CC/CPPFLAGS/CFLAGS useage.
    Previous iOS/Xcode fixes for the ARM NEON optimizations moved the test
    on __ARM_NEON__ from configure time to compile time.  This breaks symbol
    prefixing because the definition of the special png_init_filter_functions
    call was hidden at configure time if the relevant compiler arguments are
    passed in CFLAGS as opposed to CC.  This change attempts to avoid all
    the confusion that would result by declaring the init function even when
    it is not used, so that it will always get prefixed.

Version 1.7.0beta15 [June 18, 2013]
  Revised libpng.3 so that "doclifter" can process it.

Version 1.7.0beta16 [July 5, 2013]
  Revised example.c to illustrate use of PNG_DEFAULT_sRGB and PNG_GAMMA_MAC_18
    as parameters for png_set_gamma().  These have been available since
    libpng-1.5.4.
  Renamed contrib/tools/png-fix-too-far-back.c to pngfix.c and revised it
    to check all compressed chunks known to libpng.
  Updated documentation to show default behavior of benign errors correctly.
  Added perfect hash code generation for lists of PNG chunks. This is
    a work in progress; checked in for use in pngfix.c
  Ported ARM no-read patch from libpng16.
  Ported pngfix.c patches from libpng16.

Version 1.7.0beta17 [August 21, 2013]
  Revised manual about changes in iTXt chunk handling made in libpng-1.6.0.
  Added "/* SAFE */" comments in pngrutil.c and pngrtran.c where warnings
    may be erroneously issued by code-checking applications.
  Added information about png_set_options() to the manual.
  Delay calling png_init_filter_functions() until a row with nonzero filter
    is found.

Version 1.7.0beta18 [September 16, 2013]
  Fixed inconsistent conditional compilation of png_chunk_unknown_handling()
    prototype, definition, and usage.  Made it depend on
    PNG_HANDLE_AS_UNKNOWN_SUPPORTED everywhere.

Version 1.7.0beta19 [September 30, 2013]
  Reverted the change to unknown handling #defines; the change breaks 'NOREAD'
    builds.
  Fixed default behavior of ARM_NEON_API. If the ARM NEON API option is
    compiled without the CHECK option it defaulted to on, not off.
  Catch up with recent libpng16 changes; unknown handling and spelling
    corrections
  Avoid up-cast warnings in pngvalid.c. On ARM the alignment requirements of
    png_modifier are greater than that of png_store and as a consequence
    compilation of pngvalid.c results in a warning about increased alignment
    requirements because of the bare cast to (png_modifier*).  The code is
    safe, because the pointer is known to point to a stack allocated
    png_modifier, but this change avoids the warning.
  Fixed some grammatical changes and updated the png chunks list.

Version 1.7.0beta20 [October 13, 2013]
  Made changes for compatibility with automake 1.14:
    1) Added the 'compile' program to the list of programs that must be cleaned
       in autogen.sh
    2) Added 'subdir-objects' which causes .c files in sub-directories to be
       compiled such that the corresponding .o files are also in the
       sub-directory.  This is because automake 1.14 warns that the
       current behavior of compiling to the top level directory may be removed
       in the future.
    3) Updated dependencies on pnglibconf.h to match the new .o locations and
       added all the files in contrib/libtests and contrib/tools that depend
       on pnglibconf.h
    4) Added 'BUILD_SOURCES = pnglibconf.h'; this is the automake recommended
       way of handling the dependencies of sources that are machine generated;
       unfortunately it only works if the user does 'make all' or 'make check',
       so the dependencies (3) are still required.
  Cleaned up (char*) casts of zlib messages. The latest version of the Intel C
    compiler complains about casting a string literal as (char*), so copied the
    treatment of z_const from the library code into pngfix.c
  Simplified error message code in pngunknown. The simplification has the
    useful side effect of avoiding a bogus warning generated by the latest
    version of the Intel C compiler (it objects to
    condition ? string-literal : string-literal).
  Make autogen.sh work with automake 1.13 as well as 1.14. Do this by always
    removing the 1.14 'compile' script but never checking for it.

Version 1.7.0beta21 [November 2, 2013]
  Added ARMv8 support (James Yu <james.yu at linaro.org>).  Added file
    arm/filter_neon_intrinsics.c; enable with -mfpu=neon.
  Revised pngvalid to generate size images with as many filters as it can
    manage, limited by the number of rows.
  Cleaned up ARM NEON compilation handling. The tests are now in pngpriv.h
    and detect the broken GCC compilers.
  Allow clang derived from older GCC versions to use ARM intrinsics. This
    causes all clang builds that use -mfpu=neon to use the intrinsics code,
    not the assembler code.  This has only been tested on iOS 7. It may be
    necessary to exclude some earlier clang versions but this seems unlikely.
  Changed NEON implementation selection mechanism. This allows assembler
    or intrinsics to be turned on at compile time during the build by defining
    PNG_ARM_NEON_IMPLEMENTATION to the correct value (2 or 1).  This macro
    is undefined by default and the build type is selected in pngpriv.h.

Version 1.7.0beta22 [November 7, 2013]
  Fixed #include in filter_neon_intrinsics.c and ctype macros. The ctype char
    checking macros take an unsigned char argument, not a signed char.

Version 1.7.0beta23 [November 24, 2013]
  Changed #ifdef PNG_HANDLE_AS_UNKNOWN_SUPPORTED in pngpread.c to
    #ifdef PNG_SET_UNKNOWN_CHUNKS_SUPPORTED to be consistent with
    what is in pngpriv.h.
  Moved prototype for png_handle_unknown() in pngpriv.h outside of
    the #ifdef PNG_SET_UNKNOWN_CHUNKS_SUPPORTED/#endif block.
  Added "-Wall" to CFLAGS in contrib/pngminim/*/makefile
  Conditionally compile some unused functions reported by -Wall in
    pngminim.
  Fixed 'minimal' builds. Various obviously useful minimal configurations
    don't build because of missing contrib/libtests test programs and
    overly complex dependencies in scripts/pnglibconf.dfa. This change
    adds contrib/conftest/*.dfa files that can be used in automatic build
    scripts to ensure that these configurations continue to build.
  Enabled WRITE_INVERT and WRITE_PACK in contrib/pngminim/encoder.
  Fixed pngvalid 'fail' function declaration on the Intel C Compiler.
    This reverts to the previous 'static' implementation and works round
    the 'unused static function' warning by using PNG_UNUSED().

Version 1.7.0beta24 [December 15, 2013]
  Removed or marked PNG_UNUSED some harmless "dead assignments" reported
    by clang scan-build.
  Changed tabs to 3 spaces in png_debug macros and changed '"%s"m'
    to '"%s" m' to improve portability among compilers.
  Changed png_free_default() to free() in pngtest.c
  Tidied up pngfix inits and fixed pngtest no-write builds.
  Bookkeeping: Moved functions around (no changes). Moved transform
    function definitions before the place where they are called so that
    they can be masde static. Move the intrapixel functions and the
    grayscale palette builder out of the png?tran.c files. The latter
    isn't a transform function and is no longer used internally, and the
    former MNG specific functions are better placed in pngread/pngwrite.c
  Made transform implementation functions static. This makes the internal
    functions called by png_do_{read|write}_transformations static. On an
    x86-64 DLL build (Gentoo Linux) this reduces the size of the text
    segment of the DLL by 1208 bytes, about 0.6%. It also simplifies
    maintenance by removing the declarations from pngpriv.h and allowing
    easier changes to the internal interfaces.
  Handle zero-length PLTE chunk or NULL palette with png_error()
    instead of png_chunk_report(), which by default issues a warning
    rather than an error, leading to later reading from a NULL pointer
    (png_ptr->palette) in png_do_expand_palette(). This is CVE-2013-6954
    and VU#650142.  Libpng-1.6.1 through 1.6.7 and libpng-1.7.0beta03
    through 1.7.0beta23 are vulnerable.  Libpng-1.6.0 and earlier do not
    have the bug.

Version 1.7.0beta25 [December 26, 2013]
  Merged files with version 1.6.8 that have not changed since then.
  Rebuilt configure scripts with automake-1.14.1 and autoconf-2.69

Version 1.7.0beta26 [January 1, 2014]
  Added libpng 1.5 checks to pngvalid.c
  Merged with 1.5 and 1.6 changes to create a single pngvalid.c
  Added dSIG to chunk list in png.h
  Removed #error macro from contrib/tools/pngfix.c (Thomas Klausner).
  Merged pngrio.c, pngtrans.c, and pngwio.c with libpng-1.6.9
  Fixed test programs for interlace options. Made pngvalid.c and
    pngtest.c work correctly when READ_INTERLACING and/or WRITE_INTERLACING
    are switched off.
  Changed pngvalid.c to support libpng 1.5, which does not support
    the PNG_MAXIMUM_INFLATE_WINDOW option, so #define it out when
    appropriate in pngvalid.c
  Allow unversioned links created on install to be disabled in 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.

Version 1.7.0beta27 [January 10, 2014]
  Removed potentially misleading warning from png_check_IHDR().

Version 1.7.0beta28 [January 20, 2014]
  Updated scripts/makefile.* to use CPPFLAGS (Cosmin).
  Added clang attribute support (Cosmin).

Version 1.7.0beta29 [January 30, 2014]
  Quiet an uninitialized memory warning from VS2013 in png_get_png().

Version 1.7.0beta30 [February 2, 2014]
  Fixed a large number of instances where PNGCBAPI was omitted from
    function definitions.
  Added pngimage test program for png_read_png and png_write_png. This
    is a work-in-progress; no tests are run automatically at present and
    the program by virtue of exhaustively testing all the transforms is
    very slow.
