<!-- to 5 Apr 2022 -->

<li>
<p>The three previously defined, but unofficial, chunks for Animated PNG (APNG) have been added:</p>

<ul>
<li><a href="#acTL-chunk" class="chunk">acTL</a> Animation Control Chunk</li>
<li><a href="#fcTL-chunk" class="chunk">fcTL</a> Frame Control Chunk</li>
<li><a href="#fdAT-chunk" class="chunk">fdAT</a> Frame Data Chunk</li>
</ul>

<p>This brings the PNG specification into alignment with widely deployed industry practice.</p>
</li>

<li>
<p>Added the <a class="chunk" href="#cICP-chunk">cICP</a> chunk, Coding-independent code points for video signal type
identification, to contain image format metadata defined in [[ITU-T-H.273]] which enables PNG to contain [[ITU-R-BT.2100]] High Dynamic Range
(<a>HDR</a>) and Wide Color Gamut (WCG) images.</p>

<li>
<p>The previously defined <a class="chunk" href="#eXIf">eXIf</a> chunk has been moved from the PNG-Extensions document
[[PNG-EXTENSIONS]] into the main body of this specification, to reflect it's increasing use.</p>

(<a>HDR</a>) and Wide Color Gamut (WCG) images.
<li>
<p>To help with tonemapping HDR content, added the <a class="chunk" href="#mDCv-chunk">mDCv</a> chunk, which contains metadata about the display used in
mastering, and <a href="#cLLi-chunk" class="chunk">cLLi</a>, which contains metadata about peak and average light levels. This enabled more accurate color matching on heterogeneous platforms</p>
</li>

<li>
<p>Clarified that the <a href="#11iCCP" class="chunk">iCCP</a> chunk, which contains an ICC profile, can contain profiles conforming to any version of the ICC.1 specification. PNG Second Edition only referenced the then-current v2 of ICC.1, although it has since become industry practice to also used higher versions.</p>

<li>
<p>Clarified handling of out-of-range indexes, for indexed-color PNG</p>

<li>
<p>Clarified error recovery for unknown and invalid ancillary chunks</p>

<p>Incorporation of all <a href="https://www.w3.org/2003/11/REC-PNG-20031110-errata">PNG Second Edition Errata</a>. Notably, clarified that PNG images with unknown gamma value, when embedded in formats such as HTML or SVG, must be treated as <a href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-color-4/#untagged">untagged images</a></p>
