Raw Normal View History

------- April 1999 -------
?? Wrote load_png wrapper
??+1 Cleaned up a bit, tried getting grayscale and
auto-MagicPink conversion working.
9 Now can read gamma from environment variable.
Changed default gamma to 2.2.
13 Added save_png, using pieces from allpng.c
15 Fixed stupid bug I created in save_hicolour.
Added copyright notice.
Now uses packfile routines.
Added #ifdef __cplusplus hack.
Released: version 0.1.
------- December 1999 -------
22 Updated to work with Allegro 3.9.xx.
Fixed alpha channel support.
Added alpha.c
test.c renamed to example.c
Released: version 0.2
------- January 1999 -------
3 Applied fix for < 8 bpp images (thanks to Dave Dribin)
Released: version 0.3
------- October 2000 -------
12 Updated const-correctness in accordance with Allegro.
Released: version 0.4
------- April 2001 -------
11 "Fixed" RGB/BGR problem with loading RGBA images.
Use GFX_AUTODETECT in examples (GFX_SAFE changed in Allegro).
Released: version 0.5
------- July 2001 -------
13 Reverted to 0.4 codebase, as 0.5 was really broken (oops).
Added "depth" argument to examples.
Commented out the BGR flipping code, which was incorrect I think
anyway. Someone with a BGR card should check it out.
Released: version 0.6
------- January 2002 -------
03 allegro/aintern.h -> allegro/internal/aintern.h (Allegro 4.0)
Released: version 0.7
------- February 2002 -------
25 Fixed a problem with passing NULL for pal to load_png.
Released: version 0.8
------- March 2002 -------
30 Tentative fixes for loading/saving RGBA images.
Thanks to Chris Graham for reporting the problem.
Minor changes to examples and makefile.
------- May 2002 -------
06 Added shared library (unix) and install support into makefiles,
and cleaned them up. Thanks to Robbert Haarman for the start.
Minor changes for -W warnings.
07 Dave Dribin fixed a problem that surfaced with some buggy versions
of libpng (1.0.13, 1.2.2).
Moved the thanks section into a separate document.
08 Fixed a puny mistake in the makefile.
12 Released: version 0.9
16 Tentative fixes for sometimes-problems loading RGB images.
19 Released: version 0.10
------- September 2002 -------
03 Dave Dribin fixed two problems with images with alpha channels.
04 Released: version 0.11
------- April 2003 -------
27 Mostly incorporated Ceniza's changes (load_memory_png and loading
from datafile support, plus an example).
28 Reworked those changes a little.
------- May 2003 -------
02 Miscellaneous changes; put examples into separate directory
(now that we have three!).
04 Signal errors on read/write failure.
Released: version 1.0.
20 Calling load_png with NULL for palette argument was not converting
paletted images to high/truecolour properly. Fixed. Thanks to
Lothar May for pointing it out.
Released: version 1.1.
------- October 2003 -------
13 Changed the method of scaling of palette values from 6 bits
to 8 bits. Instead of just multiplying by 4, now we use
_rgb_scale_6[] so that e.g. 0 -> 0, but 63 -> 255.
Thanks Nicolas Lemal for the idea.
Released: version 1.2.
16 MSVC doesn't like pointer arithmetic on void*'s, pointed out by
Chris Condrat.
Re-released: version 1.2 (I forgot to update version constants anyway).
------- April 2004 -------
26 Jon Rafkind suggested to use _getpixel*/_putpixel* in loader to
speed up loading of large images.
Split up the code into three files. This prevents the linker pulling
in unused code, e.g. many people don't need save_png.
28 It turns out that loadpng's origin (example.c from libpng docs) was in
the public domain, so now loadpng is in the public domain as well.
Released: version 1.3.
------- October 2004 -------
09 Made save_png handle non-memory bitmaps as well.
10 Fixed some bugs with load_png(). Now everything in PngSuite loads
properly, and with correct gamma correction, except for:
- bKGD chunks (solid background colours) are not respected.
I chose this in the past, but I wonder if I should change it?
- pHYs chunks (physical dimensions) are not respected.
(BTW, this was all tested with Valgrind - no errors)
_png_screen_gamma can now be 0.0 to disable gamma correction, i.e. if
you don't know the screen gamma, it might be best not to guess.
Got rid of inefficient BGR-handling hack and did things properly.
New example: browse.c (for mass testing, e.g. PngSuite)
Released: version 1.4pre1.
------- August 2005 -------
18 Emmanuel Anne made _png_compression_level actually work.
Released: version 1.4.
------- April 2006 -------
9 Fix an endianness on big-endian machines, from Siarhei Siamashka.
I haven't tested it.
Released: version 1.5.
From December 2007, loadpng lives in the Allegro repository.
