     26 Changes since the last public release (1.6.21):
     27 
     28 Version 1.6.22beta01 [January 23, 2016]
     29   Changed PNG_USE_MKSTEMP to __COVERITY__ to select alternate
     30     "tmpfile()" implementation in contrib/libtests/pngstest.c
     31   Fixed NO_STDIO build of pngunknown.c to skip calling png_init_io()
     32     if there is no stdio.h support.
     33   Added a png_image_write_to_memory() API and a number of assist macros
     34     to allow an application that uses the simplified API write to bypass
     35     stdio and write directly to memory.
     36   Added some warnings (png.h) and some check code to detect *possible*
     37     overflow in the ROW_STRIDE and simplified image SIZE macros.  This
     38     disallows image width/height/format that *might* overflow.  This is
     39     a quiet API change that limits in-memory image size (uncompressed) to
     40     less than 4GByte and image row size (stride) to less than 2GByte.
     41   Revised workaround for false-positive Coverity issue in pngvalid.c.
     42 
     43 Version 1.6.22beta02 [February 8, 2016]
     44   Only use exit(77) in configure builds.
     45   Corrected error in PNG_IMAGE_PNG_SIZE_MAX. This new macro underreported
     46     the palette size because it failed to take into account that the memory
     47     palette has to be expanded to full RGB when it is written to PNG.
     48   Updated CMakeLists.txt, added supporting scripts/gen*.cmake.in
     49     and test.cmake.in (Roger Leigh).
     50   Relaxed limit checks on gamma values in pngrtran.c. As suggested in
     51     the comments gamma values outside the range currently permitted
     52     by png_set_alpha_mode are useful for HDR data encoding.  These values
     53     are already permitted by png_set_gamma so it is reasonable caution to
     54     extend the png_set_alpha_mode range as HDR imaging systems are starting
     55     to emerge.
     56 
     57 Version 1.6.22beta03 [February 19, 2016]
     58   Added a common-law trademark notice and export control information
     59     to the LICENSE file, png.h, and the man page.
     60   Restored "& 0xff" in png_save_uint_16() and png_save_uint_32() that
     61     were accidentally removed from libpng-1.6.17. 
     62   Changed PNG_INFO_cHNK and PNG_FREE_cHNK from 0xnnnn to 0xnnnnU in png.h
     63     (Robert C. Seacord).
     64   Removed dubious "#if INT_MAX" test from png.h that was added to
     65     libpng-1.6.19beta02 (John Bowler).
     66   Add ${INCLUDES} in scripts/genout.cmake.in (Bug report by Nixon Kwok).
     67   Updated LICENSE to say files in the contrib directory are not
     68     necessarily under the libpng license, and that some makefiles have
     69     other copyright owners.
