      2 Known bugs in libpng version 1.2.44
      3 
      4 1. December 4, 2009: The PNG_NO_ERROR_NUMBERS macro was inadvertently
      5    defined in libpng-1.2.41/pngconf.h, which may cause a problem with
      6    building a binary-compatible library.
      7 
      8    STATUS: This will be fixed in libpng-1.2.42.  In the meantime, simply
      9    delete the definition from line :
     10 
     11 2. February 23, 2006: The custom makefiles don't build libpng with -lz.
     12 
     13    STATUS: This is a subject of debate. The change will probably be made
     14    as a part of a major overhaul of the makefiles in libpng version 1.4.0.
     15 
     16 3. February 24, 2006: The Makefile generated by the "configure" script
     17    fails to install symbolic links
     18    libpng12.so => libpng12.so.0.1.2.9betaN
     19    that are generated by the custom makefiles.
     20 
     21 4. September 4, 2007:  There is a report that pngtest crashes on MacOS 10.
     22 
     23    STATUS: workarounds are
     24       1) Compile without optimization (crashes are observed with
     25          -arch i386 and -O2 or -O3, using gcc-4.0.1).
     26       2) Compile pngtest.c with PNG_DEBUG defined (the bug goes away if
     27          you try to look at it).
     28       3) Ignore the crash.  The library itself seems to be OK.
