``It's in Debian since 2009-10-07.'' That's impressive seeing as it was just released 16 days prior.
Changes to Libpng from version 1.2.42 to 1.4.0, January 3, 2010 Libpng-1.4.0 was released by the PNG Development Group on January 3, 2010. Important new features include support for the iTXt chunk and a function for limiting the amount of memory that a possibly malicious compressed chunk can consume. Some long-deprecated functions and features have been removed. A new private header file that is not visible to applications has been created, to improve our ability to maintain binary compatibility among future libpng versions.
You just released 1.2.42 I see, but not 1.4.0.
In addition to the main library sources, both the 1.4.x series and the *older libpng 1.2.42* include the rpng, rpng2 and wpng demo programs, the pngminus demo program, a subset of Willem van Schaik's PngSuite test images, and Willem's VisualPng demo program.

UPDATE 3 January 2010: The latest released version is libpng-1.4.0. For legacy applications, libpng-1.2.42 and libpng-1.0.52 are also available. [DOWNLOAD]. Here is the announcement, with an explanation of the differences between libpng-1.2.X and libpng-1.4.0.
So what am I missing here? Since when has Debian had libpng-1.4.0? With Debian's nomenclature I'm not seeing libpng14, but libpng12. - Marc On 01/18/2010 09:39 PM, Debian Bug Tracking System wrote:
