It wasn't.  Your application either doesn't work with the 1.4 SDK or was 
incorrectly including the SDK.

In 2.6.0, we had the SDKs for both 1.2 and 1.4.  In 2.6.1, we have the SDK for 
just 1.5.

You have failed to show in any way what the actual problem was, and you never 
answered any of my questions in my attempts to help you... both in October of 
2010 and again last month.

Yes.  Please read my first response to you on October 21st and again on 
February 20th.

Please read and respond to my earlier emails to you.  They also contain 
pointers to help you figure out why your application is not building correctly 
(just because it's building now doesn't mean it's fixed, it will still fail to 
build on systems with both libpng-1.2 and libpng-1.4).  If you take the time to 
actually provide adequate information, I will certainly help you fix your 
broken build system.
