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.
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.
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.
ignore all unknown chunks and all known chunks except for IHDR, PLTE, tRNS,
IDAT, and IEND. Previously it only meant ignore all unknown chunks, the
same as num_chunks == 0. Revised png_image_skip_unused_chunks() to
provide a list of chunks to be processed instead of a list of chunks to
ignore. Revised contrib/gregbook/readpng2.c accordingly.
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.
problems. This is an intermediate check-in that solves the immediate problems
and introduces one performance improvement (avoiding a copy via png_ptr->zbuf.)
Further changes will be made to make ICC profile handling more secure.
store intermediate files, or intermediate in-memory data, while processing
image data with the simplified API. The option makes the files larger
but faster to write and read. pngstest now uses this by default; this
can be disabled with the --slow option.
