31 * Fixed the implementation of the macro function `png_check_sig`.
32 This was an API regression, introduced in libpng-1.6.41.

36Changes from version 1.6.40 to version 1.6.41
37---------------------------------------------
38
39 * Added SIMD-optimized code for the Loongarch LSX hardware.
40 (Contributed by GuXiWei, JinBo and ZhangLixia)
41 * Fixed the run-time discovery of MIPS MSA hardware.
42 (Contributed by Sui Jingfeng)
43 * Fixed an off-by-one error in the function `png_do_check_palette_indexes`,
44 which failed to recognize errors that might have existed in the first
45 column of a broken palette-encoded image. This was a benign regression
46 accidentally introduced in libpng-1.6.33. No pixel was harmed.
47 (Contributed by Adam Richter; reviewed by John Bowler)
48 * Fixed, improved and modernized the contrib/pngminus programs, i.e.,
49 png2pnm.c and pnm2png.c
50 * Removed old and peculiar portability hacks that were meant to silence
51 warnings issued by gcc version 7.1 alone.
52 (Contributed by John Bowler)
53 * Fixed and modernized the CMake file, and raised the minimum required
54 CMake version from 3.1 to 3.6.
55 (Contributed by Clinton Ingram, Timothy Lyanguzov, Tyler Kropp, et al.)
56 * Allowed the configure script to disable the building of auxiliary tools
57 and tests, thus catching up with the CMake file.
58 (Contributed by Carlo Bramini)
59 * Fixed a build issue on Mac.
60 (Contributed by Zixu Wang)
61 * Moved the Autoconf macro files to scripts/autoconf.
62 * Moved the CMake files (except for the main CMakeLists.txt) to
63 scripts/cmake and moved the list of their contributing authors to
64 scripts/cmake/AUTHORS.md
65 * Updated the CI configurations and scripts.
66 * Relicensed the CI scripts to the MIT License.
67 * Improved the test coverage.
