+# WARNING: in libpng 1.5 maintained configuration compatibility with earlier

+# Libpng 1.6 changes this: in general if you turn off an option that affects
+# APIs it stays off and simply disables APIs that depend on it.
+#
+# As a result if you simply port the libpng 1.5 configuration to libpng 1.6 you
+# will probably see build failures due to missing APIs. Fixing these failures
+# requires some, perhaps considerable, knowledge of what your libpng using
+# applications are doing, fortunately there is no great reason for you to move
+# to libpng 1.6; the new interfaces in 1.6 will take several years to become
+# popular.

+# code - do this for applications that do their own gamma processing)

+# When an ICC profile is read, or png_set, it will be checked for a match
+# against known sRGB profiles if the sRGB handling is enabled. This
+# setting controls how much work is done during the check:
+#
+# 0: Just validate the profile MD5 signature if present, otherwise use
+# the checks in option 1.
+#
+# 1: Additionally check the length, intent and adler32 checksum of the
+# actual data. If enabled this will reject known profiles that have
+# had the rendering intent in the header changed as well as other edits
+# done without updating the checksum. See the discussion below.
+#
+# 2: Additionally checksum all the data using the ethernet CRC32 algorithm.
+# This makes it more difficult to fake profiles and makes it less likely
+# to get a false positive on profiles with no signature, but is probably
+# just a waste of time since all currently approved ICC sRGB profiles have
+# a secure MD5 signature.
+#
+# The rendering intent. An ICC profile stores an intended rendering intent,
+# but does not include the value in the signature. The intent is documented
+# as the intent that should be used when combining two profiles. The sRGB
+# profile is intended, however, to be used with any of the four defined intents.
+# For this reason the sRGB chunk includes an 'intent' to be used when displaying
+# the image (intent is really a property of the image not the profile.)
+#
+# Unfortunately the iCCP chunk does not. It may therefore be that some
+# applications modify the intent in profiles (including sRGB profiles) to work
+# round this problem. Selecting an option other than option '0' will cause such
+# modified profiles to be rejected.
#
+# Security. The use of Adler32 and CRC32 checksums does not help significantly
+# with any security issues. It is relatively easy to produce arbitrary profiles
+# with the required checksums on current computer systems. Nevertheless
+# security does not seem to be an issue because the only consequence of a false
+# positive is a false assertion that the profile is an sRGB profile. This might
+# be used to hide data from libpng using applications, but it doesn't seem
+# possible to damage them.

+# This is the size of the decompression buffer used when counting or checking

+# decompressed data is never used so a different size may be optimal. This size
+# was determined using contrib/libtests/timepng.c with compressed zTXt data
+# around 11MByte in size. Slight speed improvements (up to about 14% in
+# timepng) can be achieved by very large increases (to 32kbyte) on regular data,
+# but highly compressible data shows only around 2% improvement. The size is
+# chosen to minimize the effects of DoS attacks based on using very large
+# amounts of highly compressible data.

+# reader, which processes just the amount of data the application gives it.
+# The sequential reader is currently unable to process more than one IDAT at
+# once - it has to read and process each one in turn. There is no point setting
+# this to a value larger than the IDAT chunks typically encountered (it would
+# just waste memory) but there may be some point in reducing it below the value
