+1. about
+--------
+
+PNG is a file format to store raster images losslessly with good compression,
+supporting different color types and alpha channel.
+
+LodePNG is a PNG codec according to the Portable Network Graphics (PNG)
+Specification (Second Edition) - W3C Recommendation 10 November 2003.
+
+The specifications used are:
+
+*) Portable Network Graphics (PNG) Specification (Second Edition):
+     http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-PNG-20031110
+*) RFC 1950 ZLIB Compressed Data Format version 3.3:
+     http://www.gzip.org/zlib/rfc-zlib.html
+*) RFC 1951 DEFLATE Compressed Data Format Specification ver 1.3:
+     http://www.gzip.org/zlib/rfc-deflate.html
+
+The most recent version of LodePNG can currently be found at
+http://lodev.org/lodepng/
+
+LodePNG works both in C (ISO C90) and C++, with a C++ wrapper that adds
+extra functionality.
+
+LodePNG exists out of two files:
+-lodepng.h: the header file for both C and C++
+-lodepng.c(pp): give it the name lodepng.c or lodepng.cpp (or .cc) depending on your usage
+
+If you want to start using LodePNG right away without reading this doc, get the
+examples from the LodePNG website to see how to use it in code, or check the
+smaller examples in chapter 13 here.
+
+LodePNG is simple but only supports the basic requirements. To achieve
+simplicity, the following design choices were made: There are no dependencies
+on any external library. There are functions to decode and encode a PNG with
+a single function call, and extended versions of these functions taking a
+LodePNGState struct allowing to specify or get more information. By default
+the colors of the raw image are always RGB or RGBA, no matter what color type
+the PNG file uses. To read and write files, there are simple functions to
+convert the files to/from buffers in memory.
+
+This all makes LodePNG suitable for loading textures in games, demos and small
+programs, ... It's less suitable for full fledged image editors, loading PNGs
+over network (it requires all the image data to be available before decoding can
+begin), life-critical systems, ...
+
+1.1. supported features
+-----------------------
+
+The following features are supported by the decoder:
+
+*) decoding of PNGs with any color type, bit depth and interlace mode, to a 24- or 32-bit color raw image,
+   or the same color type as the PNG
+*) encoding of PNGs, from any raw image to 24- or 32-bit color, or the same color type as the raw image
+*) Adam7 interlace and deinterlace for any color type
+*) loading the image from harddisk or decoding it from a buffer from other sources than harddisk
+*) support for alpha channels, including RGBA color model, translucent palettes and color keying
+*) zlib decompression (inflate)
+*) zlib compression (deflate)
+*) CRC32 and ADLER32 checksums
+*) handling of unknown chunks, allowing making a PNG editor that stores custom and unknown chunks.
+*) the following chunks are supported (generated/interpreted) by both encoder and decoder:
+    IHDR: header information
+    PLTE: color palette
+    IDAT: pixel data
+    IEND: the final chunk
+    tRNS: transparency for palettized images
+    tEXt: textual information
+    zTXt: compressed textual information
+    iTXt: international textual information
+    bKGD: suggested background color
+    pHYs: physical dimensions
+    tIME: modification time
+
+1.2. features not supported
+---------------------------
+
+The following features are _not_ supported:
+
+*) some features needed to make a conformant PNG-Editor might be still missing.
+*) partial loading/stream processing. All data must be available and is processed in one call.
+*) The following public chunks are not supported but treated as unknown chunks by LodePNG
+    cHRM, gAMA, iCCP, sRGB, sBIT, hIST, sPLT
+   Some of these are not supported on purpose: LodePNG wants to provide the RGB values
+   stored in the pixels, not values modified by system dependent gamma or color models.
+
+
+2. C and C++ version
+--------------------
+
+The C version uses buffers allocated with alloc that you need to free()
+yourself. You need to use init and cleanup functions for each struct whenever
+using a struct from the C version to avoid exploits and memory leaks.
+
+The C++ version has extra functions with std::vectors in the interface and the
+lodepng::State class which is a LodePNGState with constructor and destructor.
+
+These files work without modification for both C and C++ compilers because all
+the additional C++ code is in "#ifdef __cplusplus" blocks that make C-compilers
+ignore it, and the C code is made to compile both with strict ISO C90 and C++.
+

+
+3. Security
+-----------
+
+Even if carefully designed, it's always possible that LodePNG contains possible
+exploits. If you discover one, please let me know, and it will be fixed.
+
+When using LodePNG, care has to be taken with the C version of LodePNG, as well
+as the C-style structs when working with C++. The following conventions are used
+for all C-style structs:
+
+-if a struct has a corresponding init function, always call the init function when making a new one
+-if a struct has a corresponding cleanup function, call it before the struct disappears to avoid memory leaks
+-if a struct has a corresponding copy function, use the copy function instead of "=".
+ The destination must also be inited already.
+
+
+4. Decoding
+-----------
+
+Decoding converts a PNG compressed image to a raw pixel buffer.
+
+Most documentation on using the decoder is at its declarations in the header
+above. For C, simple decoding can be done with functions such as
+lodepng_decode32, and more advanced decoding can be done with the struct
+LodePNGState and lodepng_decode. For C++, all decoding can be done with the
+various lodepng::decode functions, and lodepng::State can be used for advanced
+features.
+
+When using the LodePNGState, it uses the following fields for decoding:
+*) LodePNGInfo info_png: it stores extra information about the PNG (the input) in here
+*) LodePNGColorMode info_raw: here you can say what color mode of the raw image (the output) you want to get
+*) LodePNGDecoderSettings decoder: you can specify a few extra settings for the decoder to use
+
+LodePNGInfo info_png
+--------------------
+
+After decoding, this contains extra information of the PNG image, except the actual
+pixels, width and height because these are already gotten directly from the decoder
+functions.
+
+It contains for example the original color type of the PNG image, text comments,
+suggested background color, etc... More details about the LodePNGInfo struct are
+at its declaration documentation.
+
+LodePNGColorMode info_raw
+-------------------------
+
+When decoding, here you can specify which color type you want
+the resulting raw image to be. If this is different from the colortype of the
+PNG, then the decoder will automatically convert the result. This conversion
+always works, except if you want it to convert a color PNG to greyscale or to
+a palette with missing colors.
+
+By default, 32-bit color is used for the result.
+
+LodePNGDecoderSettings decoder
+------------------------------
+
+The settings can be used to ignore the errors created by invalid CRC and Adler32
+chunks, and to disable the decoding of tEXt chunks.
+
+There's also a setting color_convert, true by default. If false, no conversion
+is done, the resulting data will be as it was in the PNG (after decompression)
+and you'll have to puzzle the colors of the pixels together yourself using the
+color type information in the LodePNGInfo.
+
+
+5. Encoding
+-----------
+
+Encoding converts a raw pixel buffer to a PNG compressed image.
+
+Most documentation on using the encoder is at its declarations in the header
+above. For C, simple encoding can be done with functions such as
+lodepng_encode32, and more advanced decoding can be done with the struct
+LodePNGState and lodepng_encode. For C++, all encoding can be done with the
+various lodepng::encode functions, and lodepng::State can be used for advanced
+features.
+
+Like the decoder, the encoder can also give errors. However it gives less errors
+since the encoder input is trusted, the decoder input (a PNG image that could
+be forged by anyone) is not trusted.
+
+When using the LodePNGState, it uses the following fields for encoding:
+*) LodePNGInfo info_png: here you specify how you want the PNG (the output) to be.
+*) LodePNGColorMode info_raw: here you say what color type of the raw image (the input) has
+*) LodePNGEncoderSettings encoder: you can specify a few settings for the encoder to use
+
+LodePNGInfo info_png
+--------------------
+
+When encoding, you use this the opposite way as when decoding: for encoding,
+you fill in the values you want the PNG to have before encoding. By default it's
+not needed to specify a color type for the PNG since it's automatically chosen,
+but it's possible to choose it yourself given the right settings.
+
+The encoder will not always exactly match the LodePNGInfo struct you give,
+it tries as close as possible. Some things are ignored by the encoder. The
+encoder uses, for example, the following settings from it when applicable:
+colortype and bitdepth, text chunks, time chunk, the color key, the palette, the
+background color, the interlace method, unknown chunks, ...
+
+When encoding to a PNG with colortype 3, the encoder will generate a PLTE chunk.
+If the palette contains any colors for which the alpha channel is not 255 (so
+there are translucent colors in the palette), it'll add a tRNS chunk.
+
+LodePNGColorMode info_raw
+-------------------------
+
+You specify the color type of the raw image that you give to the input here,
+including a possible transparent color key and palette you happen to be using in
+your raw image data.
+
+By default, 32-bit color is assumed, meaning your input has to be in RGBA
+format with 4 bytes (unsigned chars) per pixel.
+
+LodePNGEncoderSettings encoder
+------------------------------
+
+The following settings are supported (some are in sub-structs):
+*) auto_convert: when this option is enabled, the encoder will
+automatically choose the smallest possible color mode (including color key) that
+can encode the colors of all pixels without information loss.
+*) btype: the block type for LZ77. 0 = uncompressed, 1 = fixed huffman tree,
+   2 = dynamic huffman tree (best compression). Should be 2 for proper
+   compression.
+*) use_lz77: whether or not to use LZ77 for compressed block types. Should be
+   true for proper compression.
+*) windowsize: the window size used by the LZ77 encoder (1 - 32768). Has value
+   2048 by default, but can be set to 32768 for better, but slow, compression.
+*) force_palette: if colortype is 2 or 6, you can make the encoder write a PLTE
+   chunk if force_palette is true. This can used as suggested palette to convert
+   to by viewers that don't support more than 256 colors (if those still exist)
+*) add_id: add text chunk "Encoder: LodePNG <version>" to the image.
+*) text_compression: default 1. If 1, it'll store texts as zTXt instead of tEXt chunks.
+  zTXt chunks use zlib compression on the text. This gives a smaller result on
+  large texts but a larger result on small texts (such as a single program name).
+  It's all tEXt or all zTXt though, there's no separate setting per text yet.
+
+
+6. color conversions
+--------------------
+
+An important thing to note about LodePNG, is that the color type of the PNG, and
+the color type of the raw image, are completely independent. By default, when
+you decode a PNG, you get the result as a raw image in the color type you want,
+no matter whether the PNG was encoded with a palette, greyscale or RGBA color.
+And if you encode an image, by default LodePNG will automatically choose the PNG
+color type that gives good compression based on the values of colors and amount
+of colors in the image. It can be configured to let you control it instead as
+well, though.
+
+To be able to do this, LodePNG does conversions from one color mode to another.
+It can convert from almost any color type to any other color type, except the
+following conversions: RGB to greyscale is not supported, and converting to a
+palette when the palette doesn't have a required color is not supported. This is
+not supported on purpose: this is information loss which requires a color
+reduction algorithm that is beyong the scope of a PNG encoder (yes, RGB to grey
+is easy, but there are multiple ways if you want to give some channels more
+weight).
+
+By default, when decoding, you get the raw image in 32-bit RGBA or 24-bit RGB
+color, no matter what color type the PNG has. And by default when encoding,
+LodePNG automatically picks the best color model for the output PNG, and expects
+the input image to be 32-bit RGBA or 24-bit RGB. So, unless you want to control
+the color format of the images yourself, you can skip this chapter.
+
+6.1. PNG color types
+--------------------
+
+A PNG image can have many color types, ranging from 1-bit color to 64-bit color,
+as well as palettized color modes. After the zlib decompression and unfiltering
+in the PNG image is done, the raw pixel data will have that color type and thus
+a certain amount of bits per pixel. If you want the output raw image after
+decoding to have another color type, a conversion is done by LodePNG.
+
+The PNG specification gives the following color types:
+
+0: greyscale, bit depths 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
+2: RGB, bit depths 8 and 16
+3: palette, bit depths 1, 2, 4 and 8
+4: greyscale with alpha, bit depths 8 and 16
+6: RGBA, bit depths 8 and 16
+
+Bit depth is the amount of bits per pixel per color channel. So the total amount
+of bits per pixel is: amount of channels * bitdepth.
+
+6.2. color conversions
+----------------------
+
+As explained in the sections about the encoder and decoder, you can specify
+color types and bit depths in info_png and info_raw to change the default
+behaviour.
+
+If, when decoding, you want the raw image to be something else than the default,
+you need to set the color type and bit depth you want in the LodePNGColorMode,
+or the parameters of the simple function of LodePNG you're using.
+
+If, when encoding, you use another color type than the default in the input
+image, you need to specify its color type and bit depth in the LodePNGColorMode
+of the raw image, or use the parameters of the simplefunction of LodePNG you're
+using.
+
+If, when encoding, you don't want LodePNG to choose the output PNG color type
+but control it yourself, you need to set auto_convert in the encoder settings
+to LAC_NONE, and specify the color type you want in the LodePNGInfo of the
+encoder.
+
+If you do any of the above, LodePNG may need to do a color conversion, which
+follows the rules below, and may sometimes not be allowed.
+
+To avoid some confusion:
+-the decoder converts from PNG to raw image
+-the encoder converts from raw image to PNG
+-the colortype and bitdepth in LodePNGColorMode info_raw, are those of the raw image
+-the colortype and bitdepth in the color field of LodePNGInfo info_png, are those of the PNG
+-when encoding, the color type in LodePNGInfo is ignored if auto_convert
+ is enabled, it is automatically generated instead
+-when decoding, the color type in LodePNGInfo is set by the decoder to that of the original
+ PNG image, but it can be ignored since the raw image has the color type you requested instead
+-if the color type of the LodePNGColorMode and PNG image aren't the same, a conversion
+ between the color types is done if the color types are supported. If it is not
+ supported, an error is returned. If the types are the same, no conversion is done.
+-even though some conversions aren't supported, LodePNG supports loading PNGs from any
+ colortype and saving PNGs to any colortype, sometimes it just requires preparing
+ the raw image correctly before encoding.
+-both encoder and decoder use the same color converter.
+
+Non supported color conversions:
+-color to greyscale: no error is thrown, but the result will look ugly because
+only the red channel is taken
+-anything, to palette when that palette does not have that color in it: in this
+case an error is thrown
+
+Supported color conversions:
+-anything to 8-bit RGB, 8-bit RGBA, 16-bit RGB, 16-bit RGBA
+-any grey or grey+alpha, to grey or grey+alpha
+-anything to a palette, as long as the palette has the requested colors in it
+-removing alpha channel
+-higher to smaller bitdepth, and vice versa
+
+If you want no color conversion to be done:
+-In the encoder, you can make it save a PNG with any color type by giving the
+raw color mode and LodePNGInfo the same color mode, and setting auto_convert to
+LAC_NO.
+-In the decoder, you can make it store the pixel data in the same color type
+as the PNG has, by setting the color_convert setting to false. Settings in
+info_raw are then ignored.
+
+The function lodepng_convert does the color conversion. It is available in the
+interface but normally isn't needed since the encoder and decoder already call
+it.
+
+6.3. padding bits
+-----------------
+
+In the PNG file format, if a less than 8-bit per pixel color type is used and the scanlines
+have a bit amount that isn't a multiple of 8, then padding bits are used so that each
+scanline starts at a fresh byte. But that is NOT true for the LodePNG raw input and output.
+The raw input image you give to the encoder, and the raw output image you get from the decoder
+will NOT have these padding bits, e.g. in the case of a 1-bit image with a width
+of 7 pixels, the first pixel of the second scanline will the the 8th bit of the first byte,
+not the first bit of a new byte.
+
+6.4. A note about 16-bits per channel and endianness
+----------------------------------------------------
+
+LodePNG uses unsigned char arrays for 16-bit per channel colors too, just like
+for any other color format. The 16-bit values are stored in big endian (most
+significant byte first) in these arrays. This is the opposite order of the
+little endian used by x86 CPU's.
+
+LodePNG always uses big endian because the PNG file format does so internally.
+Conversions to other formats than PNG uses internally are not supported by
+LodePNG on purpose, there are myriads of formats, including endianness of 16-bit
+colors, the order in which you store R, G, B and A, and so on. Supporting and
+converting to/from all that is outside the scope of LodePNG.
+
+This may mean that, depending on your use case, you may want to convert the big
+endian output of LodePNG to little endian with a for loop. This is certainly not
+always needed, many applications and libraries support big endian 16-bit colors
+anyway, but it means you cannot simply cast the unsigned char* buffer to an
+unsigned short* buffer on x86 CPUs.
+
+
+7. error values
+---------------
+
+All functions in LodePNG that return an error code, return 0 if everything went
+OK, or a non-zero code if there was an error.
+
+The meaning of the LodePNG error values can be retrieved with the function
+lodepng_error_text: given the numerical error code, it returns a description
+of the error in English as a string.
+
+Check the implementation of lodepng_error_text to see the meaning of each code.
+
+
+8. chunks and PNG editing
+-------------------------
+
+If you want to add extra chunks to a PNG you encode, or use LodePNG for a PNG
+editor that should follow the rules about handling of unknown chunks, or if your
+program is able to read other types of chunks than the ones handled by LodePNG,
+then that's possible with the chunk functions of LodePNG.
+
+A PNG chunk has the following layout:
+
+4 bytes length
+4 bytes type name
+length bytes data
+4 bytes CRC
+
+8.1. iterating through chunks
+-----------------------------
+
+If you have a buffer containing the PNG image data, then the first chunk (the
+IHDR chunk) starts at byte number 8 of that buffer. The first 8 bytes are the
+signature of the PNG and are not part of a chunk. But if you start at byte 8
+then you have a chunk, and can check the following things of it.
+
+NOTE: none of these functions check for memory buffer boundaries. To avoid
+exploits, always make sure the buffer contains all the data of the chunks.
+When using lodepng_chunk_next, make sure the returned value is within the
+allocated memory.
+
+unsigned lodepng_chunk_length(const unsigned char* chunk):
+
+Get the length of the chunk's data. The total chunk length is this length + 12.
+
+void lodepng_chunk_type(char type[5], const unsigned char* chunk):
+unsigned char lodepng_chunk_type_equals(const unsigned char* chunk, const char* type):
+
+Get the type of the chunk or compare if it's a certain type
+
+unsigned char lodepng_chunk_critical(const unsigned char* chunk):
+unsigned char lodepng_chunk_private(const unsigned char* chunk):
+unsigned char lodepng_chunk_safetocopy(const unsigned char* chunk):
+
+Check if the chunk is critical in the PNG standard (only IHDR, PLTE, IDAT and IEND are).
+Check if the chunk is private (public chunks are part of the standard, private ones not).
+Check if the chunk is safe to copy. If it's not, then, when modifying data in a critical
+chunk, unsafe to copy chunks of the old image may NOT be saved in the new one if your
+program doesn't handle that type of unknown chunk.
+
+unsigned char* lodepng_chunk_data(unsigned char* chunk):
+const unsigned char* lodepng_chunk_data_const(const unsigned char* chunk):
+
+Get a pointer to the start of the data of the chunk.
+
+unsigned lodepng_chunk_check_crc(const unsigned char* chunk):
+void lodepng_chunk_generate_crc(unsigned char* chunk):
+
+Check if the crc is correct or generate a correct one.
+
+unsigned char* lodepng_chunk_next(unsigned char* chunk):
+const unsigned char* lodepng_chunk_next_const(const unsigned char* chunk):
+
+Iterate to the next chunk. This works if you have a buffer with consecutive chunks. Note that these
+functions do no boundary checking of the allocated data whatsoever, so make sure there is enough
+data available in the buffer to be able to go to the next chunk.
+
+unsigned lodepng_chunk_append(unsigned char** out, size_t* outlength, const unsigned char* chunk):
+unsigned lodepng_chunk_create(unsigned char** out, size_t* outlength, unsigned length,
+                              const char* type, const unsigned char* data):
+
+These functions are used to create new chunks that are appended to the data in *out that has
+length *outlength. The append function appends an existing chunk to the new data. The create
+function creates a new chunk with the given parameters and appends it. Type is the 4-letter
+name of the chunk.
+
+8.2. chunks in info_png
+-----------------------
+
+The LodePNGInfo struct contains fields with the unknown chunk in it. It has 3
+buffers (each with size) to contain 3 types of unknown chunks:
+the ones that come before the PLTE chunk, the ones that come between the PLTE
+and the IDAT chunks, and the ones that come after the IDAT chunks.
+It's necessary to make the distionction between these 3 cases because the PNG
+standard forces to keep the ordering of unknown chunks compared to the critical
+chunks, but does not force any other ordering rules.
+
+info_png.unknown_chunks_data[0] is the chunks before PLTE
+info_png.unknown_chunks_data[1] is the chunks after PLTE, before IDAT
+info_png.unknown_chunks_data[2] is the chunks after IDAT
+
+The chunks in these 3 buffers can be iterated through and read by using the same
+way described in the previous subchapter.
+
+When using the decoder to decode a PNG, you can make it store all unknown chunks
+if you set the option settings.remember_unknown_chunks to 1. By default, this
+option is off (0).
+
+The encoder will always encode unknown chunks that are stored in the info_png.
+If you need it to add a particular chunk that isn't known by LodePNG, you can
+use lodepng_chunk_append or lodepng_chunk_create to the chunk data in
+info_png.unknown_chunks_data[x].
+
+Chunks that are known by LodePNG should not be added in that way. E.g. to make
+LodePNG add a bKGD chunk, set background_defined to true and add the correct
+parameters there instead.
+
+
+9. compiler support
+-------------------
+
+No libraries other than the current standard C library are needed to compile
+LodePNG. For the C++ version, only the standard C++ library is needed on top.
+Add the files lodepng.c(pp) and lodepng.h to your project, include
+lodepng.h where needed, and your program can read/write PNG files.
+
+If performance is important, use optimization when compiling! For both the
+encoder and decoder, this makes a large difference.
+
+Make sure that LodePNG is compiled with the same compiler of the same version
+and with the same settings as the rest of the program, or the interfaces with
+std::vectors and std::strings in C++ can be incompatible.
+
+CHAR_BITS must be 8 or higher, because LodePNG uses unsigned chars for octets.
+
+*) gcc and g++
+
+LodePNG is developed in gcc so this compiler is natively supported. It gives no
+warnings with compiler options "-Wall -Wextra -pedantic -ansi", with gcc and g++
+version 4.7.1 on Linux, 32-bit and 64-bit.
+
+*) Mingw
+
+The Mingw compiler (a port of gcc) for Windows is fully supported by LodePNG.
+
+*) Visual Studio 2005 and up, Visual C++ Express Edition 2005 and up
+
+Visual Studio may give warnings about 'fopen' being deprecated. A multiplatform library
+can't support the proposed Visual Studio alternative however, so LodePNG keeps using
+fopen. If you don't want to see the deprecated warnings, put this on top of lodepng.h
+before the inclusions:
+#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE
+
+Other than the above warnings, LodePNG should be warning-free with warning
+level 3 (W3). Warning level 4 (W4) will give warnings about integer conversions.
+I'm not planning to resolve these warnings. To get rid of them, let Visual
+Studio use warning level W3 for lodepng.cpp only: right click lodepng.cpp,
+Properties, C/C++, General, Warning Level: Level 3 (/W3).
+
+Visual Studio may want "stdafx.h" files to be included in each source file and
+give an error "unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header".
+That is not standard C++ and will not be added to the stock LodePNG. You can
+disable it for lodepng.cpp only by right clicking it, Properties, C/C++,
+Precompiled Headers, and set it to Not Using Precompiled Headers there.
+
+*) Visual Studio 6.0
+
+LodePNG support for Visual Studio 6.0 is not guaranteed because VS6 doesn't
+follow the C++ standard correctly.
+
+*) Comeau C/C++
+
+Vesion 20070107 compiles without problems on the Comeau C/C++ Online Test Drive
+at http://www.comeaucomputing.com/tryitout in both C90 and C++ mode.
+
+*) Compilers on Macintosh
+
+LodePNG has been reported to work both with the gcc and LLVM for Macintosh, both
+for C and C++.
+
+*) Other Compilers
+
+If you encounter problems on other compilers, feel free to let me know and I may
+try to fix it if the compiler is modern standards complient.
+

+The version number of LodePNG is the date of the change given in the format
+yyyymmdd.
+
+Some changes aren't backwards compatible. Those are indicated with a (!)
+symbol.
+
+*) 25 mar 2013: Added an optional feature to ignore some PNG errors (fix_png).
+*) 11 mar 2013 (!): Bugfix with custom free. Changed from "my" to "lodepng_"
+    prefix for the custom allocators and made it possible with a new #define to
+    use custom ones in your project without needing to change lodepng's code.
+*) 28 jan 2013: Bugfix with color key.
+*) 27 okt 2012: Tweaks in text chunk keyword length error handling.
+*) 8 okt 2012 (!): Added new filter strategy (entropy) and new auto color mode.
+    (no palette). Better deflate tree encoding. New compression tweak settings.
+    Faster color conversions while decoding. Some internal cleanups.
+*) 23 sep 2012: Reduced warnings in Visual Studio a little bit.
+*) 1 sep 2012 (!): Removed #define's for giving custom (de)compression functions
+    and made it work with function pointers instead.
+*) 23 jun 2012: Added more filter strategies. Made it easier to use custom alloc
+    and free functions and toggle #defines from compiler flags. Small fixes.
+*) 6 may 2012 (!): Made plugging in custom zlib/deflate functions more flexible.
+*) 22 apr 2012 (!): Made interface more consistent, renaming a lot. Removed
+    redundant C++ codec classes. Reduced amount of structs. Everything changed,
+    but it is cleaner now imho and functionality remains the same. Also fixed
+    several bugs and shrinked the implementation code. Made new samples.
+*) 6 nov 2011 (!): By default, the encoder now automatically chooses the best
+    PNG color model and bit depth, based on the amount and type of colors of the
+    raw image. For this, autoLeaveOutAlphaChannel replaced by auto_choose_color.
+*) 9 okt 2011: simpler hash chain implementation for the encoder.
+*) 8 sep 2011: lz77 encoder lazy matching instead of greedy matching.
+*) 23 aug 2011: tweaked the zlib compression parameters after benchmarking.

+*) 05 jul 2010: fixed bug thanks to warnings in the new gcc version.
+*) 14 mar 2010: fixed bug where too much memory was allocated for char buffers.
+*) 02 sep 2008: fixed bug where it could create empty tree that linux apps could
+    read by ignoring the problem but windows apps couldn't.
+*) 06 jun 2008: added more error checks for out of memory cases.
+*) 26 apr 2008: added a few more checks here and there to ensure more safety.
+*) 06 mar 2008: crash with encoding of strings fixed
+*) 02 feb 2008: support for international text chunks added (iTXt)
+*) 23 jan 2008: small cleanups, and #defines to divide code in sections
+*) 20 jan 2008: support for unknown chunks allowing using LodePNG for an editor.
+*) 18 jan 2008: support for tIME and pHYs chunks added to encoder and decoder.
+*) 17 jan 2008: ability to encode and decode compressed zTXt chunks added
+    Also vareous fixes, such as in the deflate and the padding bits code.
+*) 13 jan 2008: Added ability to encode Adam7-interlaced images. Improved
+    filtering code of encoder.
+*) 07 jan 2008: (!) changed LodePNG to use ISO C90 instead of C++. A
+    C++ wrapper around this provides an interface almost identical to before.
+    Having LodePNG be pure ISO C90 makes it more portable. The C and C++ code
+    are together in these files but it works both for C and C++ compilers.
+*) 29 dec 2007: (!) changed most integer types to unsigned int + other tweaks
+*) 30 aug 2007: bug fixed which makes this Borland C++ compatible
+*) 09 aug 2007: some VS2005 warnings removed again
+*) 21 jul 2007: deflate code placed in new namespace separate from zlib code
+*) 08 jun 2007: fixed bug with 2- and 4-bit color, and small interlaced images
+*) 04 jun 2007: improved support for Visual Studio 2005: crash with accessing
+    invalid std::vector element [0] fixed, and level 3 and 4 warnings removed
+*) 02 jun 2007: made the encoder add a tag with version by default
+*) 27 may 2007: zlib and png code separated (but still in the same file),
+    simple encoder/decoder functions added for more simple usage cases
+*) 19 may 2007: minor fixes, some code cleaning, new error added (error 69),
+    moved some examples from here to lodepng_examples.cpp
+*) 12 may 2007: palette decoding bug fixed
+*) 24 apr 2007: changed the license from BSD to the zlib license
+*) 11 mar 2007: very simple addition: ability to encode bKGD chunks.
+*) 04 mar 2007: (!) tEXt chunk related fixes, and support for encoding
+    palettized PNG images. Plus little interface change with palette and texts.
+*) 03 mar 2007: Made it encode dynamic Huffman shorter with repeat codes.
+    Fixed a bug where the end code of a block had length 0 in the Huffman tree.
+*) 26 feb 2007: Huffman compression with dynamic trees (BTYPE 2) now implemented
+    and supported by the encoder, resulting in smaller PNGs at the output.
+*) 27 jan 2007: Made the Adler-32 test faster so that a timewaste is gone.
+*) 24 jan 2007: gave encoder an error interface. Added color conversion from any
+    greyscale type to 8-bit greyscale with or without alpha.
+*) 21 jan 2007: (!) Totally changed the interface. It allows more color types
+    to convert to and is more uniform. See the manual for how it works now.
+*) 07 jan 2007: Some cleanup & fixes, and a few changes over the last days:
+    encode/decode custom tEXt chunks, separate classes for zlib & deflate, and
+    at last made the decoder give errors for incorrect Adler32 or Crc.
+*) 01 jan 2007: Fixed bug with encoding PNGs with less than 8 bits per channel.
+*) 29 dec 2006: Added support for encoding images without alpha channel, and
+    cleaned out code as well as making certain parts faster.
+*) 28 dec 2006: Added "Settings" to the encoder.
+*) 26 dec 2006: The encoder now does LZ77 encoding and produces much smaller files now.
+    Removed some code duplication in the decoder. Fixed little bug in an example.
+*) 09 dec 2006: (!) Placed output parameters of public functions as first parameter.
+    Fixed a bug of the decoder with 16-bit per color.
+*) 15 okt 2006: Changed documentation structure
+*) 09 okt 2006: Encoder class added. It encodes a valid PNG image from the
+    given image buffer, however for now it's not compressed.
+*) 08 sep 2006: (!) Changed to interface with a Decoder class
+*) 30 jul 2006: (!) LodePNG_InfoPng , width and height are now retrieved in different
+    way. Renamed decodePNG to decodePNGGeneric.
+*) 29 jul 2006: (!) Changed the interface: image info is now returned as a
+    struct of type LodePNG::LodePNG_Info, instead of a vector, which was a bit clumsy.
+*) 28 jul 2006: Cleaned the code and added new error checks.
+    Corrected terminology "deflate" into "inflate".
+*) 23 jun 2006: Added SDL example in the documentation in the header, this
+    example allows easy debugging by displaying the PNG and its transparency.
+*) 22 jun 2006: (!) Changed way to obtain error value. Added
+    loadFile function for convenience. Made decodePNG32 faster.
+*) 21 jun 2006: (!) Changed type of info vector to unsigned.
+    Changed position of palette in info vector. Fixed an important bug that
+    happened on PNGs with an uncompressed block.
+*) 16 jun 2006: Internally changed unsigned into unsigned where
+    needed, and performed some optimizations.
+*) 07 jun 2006: (!) Renamed functions to decodePNG and placed them
+    in LodePNG namespace. Changed the order of the parameters. Rewrote the
+    documentation in the header. Renamed files to lodepng.cpp and lodepng.h
+*) 22 apr 2006: Optimized and improved some code
+*) 07 sep 2005: (!) Changed to std::vector interface
+*) 12 aug 2005: Initial release (C++, decoder only)
