<LI>PNG Read/Save exceptions with non dword aligned scan lines.
<LI>Mirror() don't handle the last column. <Brian R. Zielinski>
</UL>
<b>Changes and major additions</b>
<UL>
<LI>+ GrayScale(). <TRK><br>
<LI>+ Rotate().<br>
<LI>+ Read Multiple Image for TIFFs & ICONs<br>
<LI>+ LoadResource(). <DP>
<LI>Changed GIF read implementation. Added animation handling. <TRK><br>
</UL>
<b>Project - Libraries - Demo application</b>

<b>Bugfixes</b>
<ul>
