Fixed bug. !! Fixed dangerous bug (data/metadata loss or serious security hazard). * Other modification (e.g. architectural improvement). Version 0.6.3 18-may-2009 ------------- + Upgraded libpng to version 1.2.36-optipng [private] !! Fixed a use-after-free error in the GIF reader. (Thanks to Roy Tam for the report, and to Bryan McQuade for the fix.) ! Flushed the output log to display the current trial in real time. This only worked on Windows in the previous version.
