management system (CMS). In practice it is not possible to obtain cHRM
information reliably using just the end-point tags because they do not exist
in the vast majority of profiles. Instead it is necessary to run the endpoints
through the ICC colorimetric intent transform (as described in the v4
spec). Since this is likely to be too much code inside libpng for too
little gain (it implies a fairly complete CMS implementation) the code
has been changed to allow an external CMS to be used. This code is
temporarily disabled until a suitable set of test cases using one or more
external CMS implementations have been implemented.
type rules. By the ANSI-C standard the new types should be identical to the
previous versions, and all known versions of gcc tested with the previous
versions except for GCC-4.2.1 work with this version. The change makes the
ANSI-C rule that const applied to an array of elements applies instead to the
elements in the array moot by explicitly applying const to the base
elements of the png_icc_matrix and png_icc_vector types. The accidental
(harmless) 'const' previously applied to the parameters of two of the
functions have also been removed.
Glenn thought the "adopted" were typos and changed them all to "adapted".
This reverts the spelling and adds parenthetical comments when each
word first appears in png.h.
fixed Cygwin+MSVC build errors. The ICC profile handling now includes more
checking. Several errors that caused rejection of the profile are now
handled with a warning in such a way that the invalid profiles will be
read by default in release (but not pre-RC) builds but will not be
written by default. The easy part of handling a cHRM chunk is written,
where the ICC profile contains the required data. The more difficult
part plus guessing a gAMA value requires code to pass selected RGB values
through the profile.
contrib/libtests/makepng: corrected 'rgb' and 'gray' cases. profile_error
messages could be truncated; made a correct buffer size calculation and
adjusted pngerror.c appropriately. png_icc_check_* checking improved;
changed the functions to receive the correct color type of the PNG on read
or write and check that it matches the color space of the profile (despite
what the comments said before, there is danger in assuming the app will
cope correctly with an RGB profile on a grayscale image and, since it
violates the PNG spec, allowing it is certain to produce inconsistent
app behavior and might even cause app crashes.) Check that profiles
contain the tags needed to process the PNG (tags all required by the ICC
spec). Removed unused PNG_STATIC from pngpriv.h.
control of the unknown handling, corrects the pre-existing bug where
the per-chunk 'keep' setting is ignored and makes it possible to skip
IDAT chunks in the sequential reader (broken in earlier 1.6 versions).
There is a new test program, test-unknown.c, which is a work in progress
(not currently part of the test suite). Comments in the header files now
explain how the unknown handling works.
on alignment increasing pointer casts when -Wcast-align is passed. This
fixes the cases clang warns about either (pngread.c) by eliminating the
casts from png_bytep to png_uint_16p or, for pngrutil.c where the cast
is previously verified or pngstest.c where it is OK by introducing new
png_aligncast macros to do the cast in a way that clang accepts.
functions [rw]util.c. A new shared keyword check routine was also added
and the 'zbuf' is no longer allocated on progressive read. It is now
possible to call png_inflate() incrementally.
read code now claims and releases png_ptr->zstream, like the write code.
The bug whereby the progressive reader failed to release the zstream
is now fixed, all initialization is delayed, and the code checks for
changed parameters on deflate rather than always calling
deflatedEnd/deflateInit.
