Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: libpng12-1.2.50-2 Removed: libpng12-devel-1.2.50-2
Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2012 05:26:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <announce.20120820052134.1D7108E01B8@frontend1.nyi.mail.srv.osa> (raw)
The libpng packages offer the standard libraries for manipulating
PNG files, a turbo-studly lossless image format. This is a security
update for the backwards-compatibility 1.2.x version of this library.
NOTE TO MAINTAINERS:
This DLL, cygpng12.dll, is now officially obsolete and there will be
no further updates -- not even to resolve security issues. libpng14
has been available since August 2007 (five years), so it's high time
those applications were recompiled against a more recent API version
(at this time, libpng-1.5.x). The applications affected are:
KDE/qt3/libqt3
plotutils/libplotter2
ploticus
ming/libmingw0
fltk/libfltk1.1
fltk_gdi/libfltk1.1-gdi
xemacs
ImageMagick/libImageMagick1
bmp2png
gnubg
grace
spamprobe
libwmf/libwmf027
X11/xfig
X11/libAfterImage/libAfterImage0
X11/XmHTML/libXmHTML0
hp2xx
sng
[[ compiled using gcc-4.5.3-3 ]]
