-   Y2K compliance in libpng:
-   =========================
-
-      September 1, 2001
-
-      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 1.2.0 are Y2K compliant.  It is my belief that earlier
-      versions were also Y2K compliant.
-
-      Libpng only has three year fields.  One is a 2-byte unsigned integer
-      that will hold years up to 65535.  The other two hold the date in text
-      format, and will hold years up to 9999.
-
-      The integer is
-          "png_uint_16 year" in png_time_struct.
-
-      The strings are
-          "png_charp time_buffer" in png_struct and
-          "near_time_buffer", which is a local character string in png.c.
-
-      There are seven time-related functions:
-
-          png_convert_to_rfc_1123() in png.c
-            (formerly png_convert_to_rfc_1152() in error)
-          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.
