spiritofcat: PNG support was added in 2001. Dunno if that still counts as "fairly new". :)
Anyway, the LS core itself can't provide support for the PNG alpha channel. Modules have to implement it themselves, but only a few such as layercut do. PNGs without the alpha channel are supported by all modules.
