| Greetings, I've updated Pub.libpng and BRL.pngloader to use the latest (1.2.12) version of the libpng library. This version of libpng includes a *lot* of security fixes. You can download the modules from here . Next stop, zlib... |

| Didn't think it was worth creating a new topic... so... I've also updated the zlib module to the latest (1.2.3) version. (up from 1.1.4 that is currently used). This version of zlib is apparently up to 20% faster at inflating zip streams, and also handles gzip streams automatically - amongst lots of other things. You can download the updated zlib module from here . I've tested it against the libpng module and my libxml module on win32. If all is well, it would be nice if BRL might bump the official mods to use these latest libraries... ;-) |

| Thanks. Will this new stuff be included by BRL? |

| Oh, btw, the zlib update could in theory improve PNG loading times by up to 20% ... (un-tested ;-) [EDIT] ... which of course doesn't appear to change load times at all ( in the few pngs I've tried ). Still, better to have the latest libraries than not... (probably?) |
