PNG in KF8 yet?

The newest Amazon guidelines say :
Quote:
9.4.1
KF8 supports GIF, BMP, JPEG, PNG, and Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) images.
Kindlegen 2.9 however converts PNG in epubs to either GIF or JPEG on its whim, bloating the file and (when it makes JPEGs), blurring it. Does the update change that? I'd love to be able to use PNG.
Now I make text images (e.g. title pages), diagrams, most maps, ornaments, as GIF files, so they don't get messed up by Kindlegen.
(I'm avoiding KFX at this time.)
