Hi!
I'm very pleased to announce availability of png++ version 0.2. This
is essentially a major internal code rewrite, tough clients should not
notice much difference in the API. This version adds support for non
8-bit data, row-by-row PNG image IO as well as fixes some bugs.
Png++ is a C++ wrapper for libpng. Png++ aims to provide simple
yet powerful C++ interface to libpng, the PNG reference
implementation library.
In the
- Added support for 16-bit data (RGB, RGBA, Grayscale and
Gray+Alpha color types)
- Added support for packed 1-, 2- or 4-bit pixels (Grayscale
and Indexed colors)
- Fixed interlace handling code which was severely broken
- Added possibility to process images without reading the
entire image into memory
- Internals are refactored while the client interface is
mostly unchanged
- Added intensive test suite
- Added documentation
Things left to implement:
- Support for output transformations (hope, no one will ever
need this)
- Support for optional chunks like gAMA, sBIT, iTXt and
others.
- Unknown chunks handling
