  Cleaned up PNG_ASSEMBLER_CODE_SUPPORTED vs PNG_MMX_CODE_SUPPORTED
  Eliminated PNG_1_0_X and PNG_1_2_X macros.
  Removed deprecated functions png_read_init, png_write_init, png_info_init,
    png_permit_empty_plte, png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8, and removed the
    deprecated macro PNG_MAX_UINT.
  Moved "PNG_INTERNAL" parts of png.h and pngconf.h into pngintrn.h
  Removed all  WIN32_WCE #ifdefs except those involving the
    time.h "tm" structure (Cosmin)
  Reduced dependency on C-runtime library when on Windows (Simon-Pierre)
  Replaced sprintf() with png_sprintf() (Simon-Pierre)
  Revised makefiles to avoid making links to libpng.so.*
  Added a note in libpng.txt that png_set_sig_bytes(8) can be used when
    writing an embedded PNG without the 8-byte signature.
  Updated scripts/pngos2.def, pngw32.def, and projects/wince/png32ce.def
  Added PNG_NO_GET_INT_32 and PNG_NO_SAVE_INT_32 macros.
  Scripts/libpng.pc.in contained "configure" style version info and would
    not work with makefiles.
  Increased sprintf buffer from 50 to 52 chars in pngrutil.c to avoid
    buffer overflow.
  Fixed bug in example.c (png_set_palette_rgb -> png_set_palette_to_rgb))
  Changed sonum from 0 to 1.
  Removed unused prototype for png_check_sig() from png.h
  Prepended "#! /bin/sh" to ltmail.sh and contrib/pngminus/*.sh (Cosmin).

  Optimized buffer in png_handle_cHRM() (Cosmin).
  Allow zero-length IDAT chunks after the entire zlib datastream, but not
    after another intervening chunk type.
  Set pHYs = 2835 x 2835 pixels per meter, and added
    pngtest now produces, and made some cosmetic changes to pngtest output.
    sCAL = 0.352778e-3 x 0.352778e-3 meters, in pngtest.png (Cosmin).

    can be free'ed in case of error.  Revised unknown chunk handling in
    pngrutil.c and pngpread.c to use this structure.
  Prefer PNG_USE_PNGVCRD when _MSC_VER is defined in pngconf.h
  Revised pngvcrd.c for improved efficiency.
  Moved local array "chunkdata" from pngrutil.c to the png_struct, so
    it will be freed by png_read_destroy() in case of a read error (Kurt
    Christensen).

  In png_check_cHRM_fixed(), ensure white_y is > 0, and removed redundant
    check for all-zero coordinates that is detected by the triangle check.
  Rearranged test expressions in png_check_cHRM_fixed() to avoid internal
    overflows.
  Added PNG_NO_CHECK_cHRM conditional.
  Fixed string vs pointer-to-string error in png_check_keyword().
  Added PNG_NO_CHECK_cHRM conditional.
  Merge png_debug with version 1.2.34beta04.
  Removed redundant check for key==NULL before calling png_check_keyword()

  Added contrib/pngminim/preader to demonstrate building minimal progressive
    decoder, based on contrib/gregbook with embedded libpng and zlib.
  In contrib/pngminim/*, renamed "makefile.std" to "makefile", since there
    is only one makefile in those directories, and revised the README files

    configure scripts to detect the presence of libpng.
  Revised libpng*.txt and libpng.3 to mention calling png_set_IHDR()

  Added scripts/makefile.cegcc
  Revised libpng*.txt to describe differences from 1.2.40 to 1.4.0
  Added PNG_DEPSTRUCT, PNG_DEPRECATED, PNG_USE_RESULT, PNG_NORETURN, and

    png_struct or info_struct members and other deprecated usage in
    applications (John Bowler).
  Updated scripts/makefile* to add "-DPNG_CONFIGURE_LIBPNG" to CFLAGS,
    to prevent warnings about direct access to png structs by libpng

    those using compilers other than gcc.
  Updated CMakeLists.txt to add "-DPNG_CONFIGURE_LIBPNG" to the definitions.
  Updated projects/visualc6 and visualc71 with "/d PNG_CONFIGURE_LIBPNG".

  Added README.txt to the beos, cbuilder5, netware, and xcode projects warning
    that they need to be updated, to remove references to pnggccrd.c and
    pngvcrd.c and to depend on pngpriv.h
  Removed three direct references to read_info_ptr members in pngtest.c
    that were detected by the new PNG_DEPSTRUCT macro.

  Removed projects/beos and netware.txt; no one seems to be supporting them.
  Moved libpng-config.in and libpng.pc-configure.in out of the scripts
    directory, to libpng-config.in and libpng.pc.in, respectively, and
    modified Makefile.am and configure.ac accordingly.  Now "configure"
    needs nothing from the "scripts" directory.
  Removed ASM builds from projects/visualc6 and projects/visualc71
  Removed scripts/makefile.nommx and makefile.vcawin32
  Revised CMakeLists.txt to account for new location of libpng-config.in
    and libpng.pc.in
  Updated INSTALL to reflect removal and relocation of files.
  Moved descriptions of makefiles and other scripts out of INSTALL into
    scripts/README.txt
  Updated the copyright year in scripts/pngwin.rc from 2006 to 2009.
  Removed obsolete comments about ASM from projects/visualc71/README_zlib.txt
  Align row_buf on 16-byte boundary in memory.
  Make the 'png_jmpbuf' macro expand to a call that records the correct
    longjmp function as well as returning a pointer to the setjmp
    jmp_buf buffer, and marked direct access to jmpbuf 'deprecated'.
    (John Bowler)
  Changed "/255" to "/255.0" in background calculations to make it clear
    that the 255 is used as a double.
  Added "#define PNG_NO_PEDANTIC_WARNINGS" in the libpng source files.
  Revised scripts/makefile.netbsd, makefile.openbsd, and makefile.sco
    to put png.h and pngconf.h in $prefix/include, like the other scripts,
    instead of in $prefix/include/libpng.  Also revised makefile.sco
    to put them in $prefix/include/libpng14 instead of in
    $prefix/include/libpng/libpng14.
  Added "bit_depth" parameter to the private png_build_gamma_table() function.
  Use png_calloc() instead of png_malloc(); png_memset() in pngrutil.c
  Avoid deprecated references to png_ptr-io_ptr and png_ptr->error_ptr
    in pngtest.c
