 Replying to [comment:1 randy@…]:
 > There is now a version of libpng, 1.5.0. There must be some reason to
 change the minor version from 1.4.x to 1.5.x. I have not looked at
 ChangeLog or anything.
 Well, it does hide structure members from public view (probably for
 encapuslation). I found this out when I was building TeXLive with libpng
 1.5.1.

 For the curious, the patch to fix the TeXLive issues is here:

 http://www.tug.org/pipermail/tex-k/2011-January/002227.html

 Also of note, the manual file is now called libpng-manual.txt, not
 libpng-<version>.txt.

 Additionally, the 1.5.0 tree started with this commit on Feb. 7, 2010 (a
 little more than a year ago):

 {{{
 Moved declaration of png_struct into private pngstruct.h and png_info
     into pnginfo.h
 }}}
