Hello.

Are there any plans to move this projet to GitHub? SourceForce have been doing very nasty things and everyone is now in GitHub. I even forgot my SourceForge password!

GitHub makes very easy to fork, patch, merge and to navigate over code. It's a lot more usable than SourceForge by lots orders of magnitude.

There's another very important issue: Many web brosers and extensions consider sourceforge.net as a dangerous site. And it is, they added trojans and other kind to adaware to many Windows .exe builds as in the style of softonic (another site that site that should be banned, along with tons of others).

Kind regards.

    We have been on github for quite a while. The project, as stated in libpng.sf.net, is glennrp/libpng

    Our distributions at sourceforge are digitally signed using pgp, so if your copy has been tampered with, you can detect that.
