png++ version 0.2 available

Hi!

I'm very pleased to announce availability of png++ version 0.2. This
is essentially a major internal code rewrite, tough clients should not
notice much difference in the API. This version adds support for non
8-bit data, row-by-row PNG image IO as well as fixes some bugs.

Png++ is a C++ wrapper for libpng. Png++ aims to provide simple
yet powerful C++ interface to libpng, the PNG reference
implementation library.

In the news:

    - Added support for 16-bit data (RGB, RGBA, Grayscale and
      Gray+Alpha color types)

    - Added support for packed 1-, 2- or 4-bit pixels (Grayscale
      and Indexed colors)

    - Fixed interlace handling code which was severely broken

    - Added possibility to process images without reading the
      entire image into memory

    - Internals are refactored while the client interface is
      mostly unchanged

    - Added intensive test suite

    - Added documentation

Things left to implement:

    - Support for output transformations (hope, no one will ever
      need this)

    - Support for optional chunks like gAMA, sBIT, iTXt and
          others.

    - Unknown chunks handling
