-.SH XVI. Y2K Compliance in libpng
-
-Since the PNG Development group is an ad-hoc body, we can't make
-an official declaration.
-
-This is your unofficial assurance that libpng from version 0.71 and
-upward through 1.6.34 are Y2K compliant. It is my belief that earlier
-versions were also Y2K compliant.
-
-Libpng only has two year fields. One is a 2-byte unsigned integer
-that will hold years up to 65535. The other, which is deprecated,
-holds the date in text format, and will hold years up to 9999.
-
-The integer is
- "png_uint_16 year" in png_time_struct.
-
-The string is
- "char time_buffer[29]" in png_struct. This is no longer used
-in libpng-1.6.x and will be removed from libpng-1.7.0.
-
-There are seven time-related functions:
-
- png_convert_to_rfc_1123_buffer() in png.c
- (formerly png_convert_to_rfc_1152() in error, and
- also formerly png_convert_to_rfc_1123())
- png_convert_from_struct_tm() in pngwrite.c, called
- in pngwrite.c
- png_convert_from_time_t() in pngwrite.c
- png_get_tIME() in pngget.c
- png_handle_tIME() in pngrutil.c, called in pngread.c
- png_set_tIME() in pngset.c
- png_write_tIME() in pngwutil.c, called in pngwrite.c
-
-All appear to handle dates properly in a Y2K environment. The
-png_convert_from_time_t() function calls gmtime() to convert from system
-clock time, which returns (year - 1900), which we properly convert to
-the full 4-digit year. There is a possibility that applications using
-libpng are not passing 4-digit years into the png_convert_to_rfc_1123()
-function, or that they are incorrectly passing only a 2-digit year
-instead of "year - 1900" into the png_convert_from_struct_tm() function,
-but this is not under our control. The libpng documentation has always
-stated that it works with 4-digit years, and the APIs have been
-documented as such.
-
-The tIME chunk itself is also Y2K compliant. It uses a 2-byte unsigned
-integer to hold the year, and can hold years as large as 65535.
-
-zlib, upon which libpng depends, is also Y2K compliant. It contains
-no date-related code.
