-Changes since the previous public release (1.6.34):
 
-  Restored 21 of the contrib/pngsuite/i*.png, which do not cause test
-    failures. Placed the remainder in contrib/pngsuite/interlaced/i*.png.
-  Added calls to png_set_*() transforms commonly used by browsers to
-    the fuzzer.
-  Removed some unnecessary brackets in pngrtran.c
-  Fixed miscellaneous typos (Patch by github user "luzpaz").
-  Change "ASM C" to "C ASM" in CMakeLists.txt
-  Fixed incorrect handling of bKGD chunk in sub-8-bit files (Cosmin)
-  Added hardware optimization directories to zip and 7z distributions.
-  Fixed incorrect bitmask for options.
-  Fixed many spelling typos.
-  Make png_get_iCCP consistent with man page (allow compression-type argument
-    to be NULL, bug report by Lenard Szolnoki).
-  Replaced the remaining uses of png_size_t with size_t (Cosmin)
-  Fixed the calculation of row_factor in png_check_chunk_length
-    (reported by Thuan Pham in SourceForge issue #278)
-  Added missing parentheses to a macro definition
-    (suggested by "irwir" in GitHub issue #216)

+The new libpng license comprises the terms and conditions from the zlib
+license, and the disclaimer from the Boost license.
+
+The legacy libpng license, used until libpng-1.6.35, is appended to the
+new license, following the precedent established in the Python Software
+Foundation License version 2.
+
+From now on, the list of contributing authors shall be maintained in a
+separate AUTHORS file.  The lists of previous contributing authors,
+mentioned in the legacy libpng license and considered to be an integral
+part of that license, are kept intact, with no further updates.
