I think that means "Visual Basic 6 is no longer supported", right?
__stdcall is no longer a requirement for calling the DLL from Visual Basic; the DLL_FAQ suggests this and libpng includes a Visual Studio project that builds a 'Visual Basic' version that uses __cdecl (and has for some time), however the requirement is (I believe) VB > 6.
