New description:

 Running "port livecheck libpng" reports that libpng has been
 updated.[[BR]]
 For some reason MacPorts seems to be sticking to the "previous" rather
 than "current" series of libpng releases, so the livecheck result of 1.4.0
 rather than 1.2.xx is a little misleading.[[BR]]
 If/when libpng is updated to 1.2.42 (the most current version), please
 improve the livecheck expression to look for releases in the correct
 release series.

Comment(by blb@…):

 I'm guessing the update (from the
 [http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/src/libpng-1.4.0-README.txt ReadMe])

   Enabled iTXt support (changes png_struct, thus requires so-number
 change)

 means all dependents will need a rev-bump, like for jpeg.
