+Version 1.6.0beta19 [March 18, 2012]
+  Work around for duplicate row start calls; added warning messages.
+    This turns on PNG_FLAG_DETECT_UNINITIALIZED to detect app code that
+    fails to call one of the 'start' routines (not enabled in libpng-1.5
+    because it is technically an API change, since it did normally work
+    before.)  It also makes duplicate calls to png_read_start_row (an
+    internal function called at the start of the image read) benign, as
+    they were before changes to use png_inflate_claim. Somehow webkit is
+    causing this to happen; this is probably a mis-feature in the zlib
+    changes so this commit is only a work-round.
