Changes since the last public release (1.6.17):

Version 1.6.18beta01 [April 1, 2015]
  Removed PNG_SET_CHUNK_[CACHE|MALLOC]_LIMIT_SUPPORTED macros.  They
    have been combined with PNG_SET_USER_LIMITS_SUPPORTED (resolves
    bug report by Andrew Church).
  Fixed rgb_to_gray checks and added tRNS checks to pngvalid.c.  This
    fixes some arithmetic errors that caused some tests to fail on
    some 32-bit platforms (Bug reports by Peter Breitenlohner [i686]
    and Petr Gajdos [i586]).

Version 1.6.18beta02 [April 26, 2015]
  Suppressed some warnings from the Borland C++ 5.5.1/5.82 compiler
    (Bug report by Viktor Szaka'ts).

Version 1.6.18beta03 [May 6, 2015]
  Replaced "unexpected" with an integer (0xabadca11) in pngset.c
    where a long was expected, to avoid a compiler warning when PNG_DEBUG > 1.
  Added contrib/examples/simpleover.c, to demonstrate how to handle
    alpha compositing of multiple images, using the "simplified API"
    and an example PNG generation tool, contrib/examples/genpng.c
    (John Bowler).

Version 1.6.18beta04 [May 20, 2015]
  PNG_RELEASE_BUILD replaces tests where the code depended on the build base
    type and can be defined on the command line, allowing testing in beta
    builds (John Bowler).
  Avoid Coverity issue 80858 (REVERSE NULL) in pngtest.c
  Avoid a harmless potential integer overflow in png_XYZ_from_xy() (Bug
    report from Christopher Ferris).

Version 1.6.18beta05 [May 31, 2015]
  Backport filter selection code from libpng-1.7.0beta51, to combine
    sub_row, up_row, avg_row, and paeth_row into try_row and tst_row.
  Changed png_voidcast(), etc., to voidcast(), etc., in contrib/tools/pngfix.c
    to avoid confusion with the libpng private macros.
  Fixed old cut&paste bug in the weighted filter selection code in
    pngwutil.c, introduced in libpng-0.95, March 1997.

Version 1.6.18beta06 [June 1, 2015]
  Removed WRITE_WEIGHTED_FILTERED code, to save a few kbytes of the
    compiled library size. It never worked properly and as far as we can
    tell, no one uses it. The png_set_filter_heuristics() and
    png_set_filter_heuristics_fixed() APIs are retained but deprecated
    and do nothing.
