[PNG] Meeting minutes - Mar 31st, 2025

Attached is a PDF of the meeting minutes from Mar 31st, 2025.

Executive summary:

   - Alternative compression methods -- We are open to the idea. But we
   want to be mindful about it. Rather than blindly drop other compression
   methods into the standard and wait (hope) for adoption, we want to
   experiment and gather user interest.
      - Unlikely to make it into Fourth Edition due to experiment & user
      adoption time. Possibly by Fifth Edition.
   - Negative cHRM values -- General agreement. We expect old decoders to
   ignore the chunk when it believes there is an error due to the bit being
   set. This would result in the image still being displayed but colors being
   off. That is the same behavior as an old decoder encountering a cICP chunk.
   - Deflate restart markers -- We are open to the idea. But we need a
   reference implementation and user demand (IE that implementation being
   used) before we add it to the spec.
   - There were other topics for Fourth Edition, but we ran out of time.
   We'll resume those next meeting.

Our next meeting is Apr 14th, 2025.
See you then!
