+README for libpng version 1.2.29 - May 8, 2008 (shared library 12.0)
+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,
+libpng-*.tar.lzma, or libpng-*.tar.bz2 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 do not make current programs
+that access the info struct directly incompatible with the new
+library.  However, 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.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
+ftp://ftp.simplesystems.org/pub/png/src/
+
+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/pngdocs.html
+
+This code is currently being archived at libpng.sf.net in the
+[DOWNLOAD] area, and on CompuServe, Lib 20 (PNG SUPPORT)
+at GO GRAPHSUP.  If you can't find it in any of those places,
+e-mail me, and I'll help you find it.
+
+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 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
+the (png-mng-misc at lists.sourceforge.net, subscription required, visit
+https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/png-mng-implement to subscribe)
+On the other hand,
+please do not send libpng questions to that address, send them to me
+or to the png-implement list.  I'll
+get them in the end anyway.  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 twelve 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.
