				 This security issue was fixed :

				 - Fixed an out-of-bounds heap read in Type_MLU_Read that could be triggered by an untrusted image with a crafted ICC profile (boo#1021364).

				 These non-security issues were fixed :

				 - Fixed many typos in comments, thanks to Stefan Weil for doing that.

				 - Fixed localization bug, added a new test case crayons.icc thnaks to Richard Hughes for providing the profile.

				 - Fixed a bug in optimizer that made some formats (i.e, bits planar) unavailable

				 - Fixed misalignment problems on Alpha. The compiler does not align strings, and accessing begin of string as a uint16 makes code to fail.

				 - Added some extra checks to the tools and examples.

				 - Fix a bug that prevented to read luminance tag

				 - BIG amount of functionality contributed/Sponsored by Alien Skin Software:
TransformStride, copyAlpha, performance plug-ins. Fixes some warnings as well.

				 - added an extra _ to _stdcall to make it more portable

				 - Fixed a bug in transicc for named color profiles

				 - Fixed several compiler warnings

				 - Added support for Visual Studio 2015

				 - Fixed for XCODE project

				 - Update to GNOME 3.20
