Hi there, hello!

As of today, the newest libpng release in the 1.6 line is out,
business-as-usual. The release tag, named "v1.6.44", is GPG-signed.

This is an accumulation of various fixes and improvements, in the libpng
code, and in the build scripts.

I don't have much to add besides what's in the ANNOUNCE file, but I do want
to point out that we've been talking on the GitHub forums about forking off
a branch from 1.6.44. Let's call it, tentatively, libpng18. There are still
pull requests waiting in line, some of which are highly useful, yet hard to
apply to the libpng16 branch without risking breakage in rather obscure
areas of compatibility with existing build workflows.

Tomorrow I'll fork off a new branch and start a new discussion on
png-mng-implement. (It's been a while...)

https://sourceforge.net/projects/libpng/files/libpng16/1.6.44/
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pnggroup/libpng/v1.6.44/ANNOUNCE

Last but not least, I would like to publicly express my thanks to Travis CI
and AppVeyor CI. We have been verifying our builds for years (on FreeBSD,
Linux, Mac and Windows) thanks to their graceful support of our project.
