missing libpng12 [SOLVED]

I need to install libpng12 because it's required for xnviewmp but this lib is missing. Pacman says that the package doesn't exist (I have x86_64 system with active multilib repo).
Searching around I have found this https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libpng12/ , here the package is flagged as out of date, do you know what mean? It's the reason why pacman doesn't find it?

No. Pacman doesn't find it because it doesn't search for packages in AUR, only in repositories

It means what it says -- it is out of date. The maintainer will need to update the PKGBUILD for the new version (alternatively, you can do this yourself). Either way, you will need to build and install this package before you can build and install xnviewmp. Make sure to install libpng12 with --asdeps so that it's not explicitly installed.
