Is there any likelihood that there will be a version
after 1.2.8 sometime soon?

There have been a couple of contributed patches against
1.2.8, and it would be nice if these patches were actually
applied, thereby creating an up-to-date version that developers
could incorporate into their distributions, and users could
actually use.

The "patches" section on the page
   http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html
doesn't mention any of these patches.  The patches have
been in some sort of limbo for many months.

One might have thought it would only be a few minutes of
work to apply the patches and put up a new version.  (This
might make the "current binaries" section less than current,
but it would still be a step forward, and would *allow* the
binaries to catch up ... which cannot happen as things
stand now.)

The site gives users and developers the impression there has
been no progress since 02-december-2004.  There is an opportunity
for improvement here.
