Release notes 

Fix the build process so it compiles on modern Linux and DJGPP (DOS) systems, and against the latest version of libpng and LibGD. The Unix version is now dynamically linked against libpng and LibGD.

Fixed a number of critical bugs, including crashes (under Unix) using the 'show' and 'view' displays.

Changelog

   * Minor fixes to code to compile on modern Linux systems, and modern
     versions of DJGPP for DOS, against modern versions of libpng.
     (LP: #716226, #716228)
   * Rewrote makefiles and build instructions to build against system
     versions of libpng and LibGD rather than depending on the included
     out-of-date versions. (Removed the included copies of libpng and
     zlib; the old LibGD is still included and used by the DOS version.)
     (LP: #716222)
   * Fixed potential memory corruption reading invalid TGA files.
     (LP: #716231)
   * Fixed buffer overrun vulnerability reading malformed PGM files.
     (LP: #716233)
   * Fixed memory corruption if instructed to load a filename of less
     than four characters. (LP: #716236)
   * Ctrl+D (end-of-file) now quits the program. (LP: #716246)
   * No longer appends 4-digit numbers to the end of saved filenames by
     default (added in version 0.92); this can be turned on with "set
     appendnum true". (LP: #716391)
   * (Unix only) Fixed crashing and/or memory corruption if 'show' is
     used on a 24-bit display. (LP: #716239)
   * (Unix only) It is no longer possible to close the display window
     after opening it. This prevents a crash if you close the display
     window then issue another 'show' or 'view' command. (LP: #716240)
   * (Unix only) X display improvements. Removed the 8-pixel border
     around the display window which can appear transparent on some
     displays. Removed printing "Thanks for using Xgrid" when quitting
     after using the display. (LP: #716244, #716242)
   * (Unix only) Program is now called 'hl' instead of 'hlx'.
     (LP: #716229)
   * Added man page for 'hl'.
