As far as I am aware, the main sticking point is getting GM 1.3.13 
released. :-)

Libpng 1.5 intentionally modified its API to hide structure members so 
that applications become less dependent on its interface.

I have not personally tested with libpng 1.5 but hope that Glenn 
completed the fixes to work with it.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes 
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
