Merge branch releases/1.8 revisions r6168 through r6170 into trunk.
- Updates libpng to 1.6.37 (from 1.6.23) Note: Seems svn can't merge it automatic when a folder was removed and readded with same name. Easier to update libs by deleting all files - copying new ones over and then check svn stat for differences and resolve them manually. git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/irrlicht/code/trunk@6171 dfc29bdd-3216-0410-991c-e03cc46cb475

You should use zlib 1.0.4 or later to run this, but it MAY work with
|

versions as old as zlib 0.95. Even so, there are bugs in older zlib
|

versions which can cause the output of invalid compression streams for

some images. You will definitely need zlib 1.0.4 or later if you are

I am not a lawyer, but I believe that the Export Control Classification
|
||||
Number (ECCN) for libpng is EAR99, which means not subject to export
|
||||
controls or International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) because it
|
||||
is open source, publicly available software, that does not contain any
|
||||
encryption software. See the EAR, paragraphs 734.3(b)(3) and 734.7(b).

If you have any code changes, requests, problems, etc., please e-mail

them to me. Also, I'd appreciate any make files or project files,
|
||||
and any modifications you needed to make to get libpng to compile,
|
||||
along with a #define variable to tell what compiler/system you are on.
|
||||
If you needed to add transformations to libpng, or wish libpng would
|
||||
provide the image in a different way, drop me a note (and code, if
|
||||
possible), so I can consider supporting the transformation.
|
||||
Finally, if you get any warning messages when compiling libpng
|
||||
(note: not zlib), and they are easy to fix, I'd appreciate the
|
||||
fix. Please mention "libpng" somewhere in the subject line. Thanks.
