This is just a note that the pngcheck package[1] has a new upstream[2], which has been declared official by the old upstream[3].

A new release, 4.0.0, is available. After careful examination of the changelogs[4] and source diffs, I believe it is correct to treat this as a compatible bugfix release, with some enhancements to handle additional features in the PNG image format, despite the incremented major version number.

The new upstream removed the extra utilities pngsplit and png-fix-IDAT-windowsize from the repository immediately *after* the 4.0.0 release. I choose to deal with this now, rather than in a future patch release, by removing and Obsoleting the pngcheck-extras subpackage that contained them, beginning with Rawhide/F43. I am quite certain that nothing depended on the removed subpackage.
