+README for libpng version 1.6.22rc01 - May 14, 2016 (shared library 16.0) |
+See the note about version numbers near the top of png.h |
+ |
+See INSTALL for instructions on how to install libpng. |
+ |
+Libpng comes in several distribution formats. Get libpng-*.tar.gz or |
+libpng-*.tar.xz or 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_<chunk> and |
+png_get_<chunk> 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 did not make current programs |
+that access the info struct directly incompatible with the new |
+library, through libpng-1.2.x. In libpng-1.4.x, which was meant to |
+be a transitional release, members of the png_struct and the |
+info_struct can still be accessed, but the compiler will issue a |
+warning about deprecated usage. Since libpng-1.5.0, direct access |
+to these structs is not allowed, and the definitions of the structs |
+reside in private pngstruct.h and pnginfo.h header files that are not |
+accessible to applications. 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-manual.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 zlib.net. |
+ |
+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/documents/ |
+ |
+This code is currently being archived at libpng.sf.net in the |
+[DOWNLOAD] area, and at ftp://ftp.simplesystems.org. If you can't find it |
+in any of those places, e-mail me, and I'll help you find it. |
+ |
+I am not a lawyer, but I believe that the Export Control Classification |
+Number (ECCN) for libpng is EAR99, which means not subject to export |
+controls or International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) because it |
+is open source, publicly available software, that does not contain any |
+encryption software. See the EAR, paragraphs 734.3(b)(3) and 734.7(b). |
+ |
+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 |
+development group. |

+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 |
+png-mng-misc at lists.sf.net (subscription required; visit |
+https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/png-mng-misc to |
+subscribe). 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 twenty 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. |
