The PNG Utilities plugin for REALbasic 5.2 and greater simplifies the loading and saving of PNG format images, without relying on Quicktime. PNG alpha channels are automatically converted to Picture masks and vice-versa, allowing developers to quickly load or save masked images with a single function call. Methods are also provided to deal with strings of binary PNG data, which is ideal when storing or retrieving images from databases, virtual volumes, or packages such as zip archives.

Version 1.7 includes native Mach-O support (Xcode project included) and the zlib v1.2.3 security patch. This release also resolves an issue on Win32 when opening PNG images from disk in a file path that contains double-byte characters.

PNG Utilities is free and opensource and compiles for all platforms supported by REALbasic. Downloads and documentation are available here: <http://developer.chaoticbox.com/>

NOTE: The Linux build remains unchanged from the previous release (v1.6.1). zlib is dynamically linked on Linux, and must be updated separately to take advantage of the recent security patches.

Frank.
