Lossless PNG image reductions

[This announcement is for the developers of libpng-based PNG encoders.]

The lossless PNG image reduction code (opngreduc) is now available as a top-level module. Making your PNG encoder more efficient is as easy as an #include "opngreduc.h" and a call to opng_reduce_image().

The principle behind image reductions is explained in detailed in the PNG optimization guide, section 2.1 "The PNG image type".

Should you write code that eventually lands in the main source tree, you will become a contributing author, unless you decline and prefer to assign your copyright to me instead.... read more
