Release Notes: This release makes a one-byte change to the pre-built Makefile.in, to address CVE-2012-3386, which reports a vulnerability in automake. It is not necessary to rebuild libpng applications built with earlier versions of libpng. The change only protects the libpng maintainer who is running "make distcheck" even after setting a safe umask.

Libpng and Gnome
After installing libpng 1.0.7 my gnome-help-browser segfaulted and the toolbars would not display any png icons. I recompiled imlib to fix the segfault problem and gdk-pixbuff to fix the display problem.
