Hi,

Do you guys have any plans to upgrade the libpng dependency to newer version like 1.6 ?

I am trying to run the newer version of FreeFileSync 8.8 and it requires the libpng12 version :(

thanks for this wonderful work and application :D

thanks
regards
Pedro

Maybe you need the Ubuntu release instead of the Debian one.

you mean there is no plan for now ?

this issue in Debian is related to the fact of usrmerge {bin,sbin,lib}. It requires the newer libpng version.

your reply is nonsense

Yes, that's the right attitude to get help on the internet nowadays. Way to go.

just for the record, for now you can use FreeFileSync 9.0 Ubuntu 17.04 which runs great in Debian/stretch.

thanks
