Rust PNG crate gets even faster, used by GNOME and Chromium

Rust png crate, also known as image-png, implements PNG encoding and decoding in safe Rust. It is compliant with the third edition of the PNG specification, including APNG support.
A year ago it was already the fastest PNG decoder in the world. Since then it has gotten even faster.

<...>

image-png is used as the default PNG implementation in Chromium since M139 (August 2025) across all platforms [выделение моё], both on desktop and on mobile.

This required meeting a remarkably high bar in terms of features, performance, correctness, compatibility and security. It would only ship if there were no regressions in any of those categories!
