GD Now Supports GIF
Filed in: Web Development — July 26th, 2004
Due to the license of GIF format, GD does not include GIF support in previous version. With expiration of GIF license, GD library now included support for GIF in version 2.0.28.
Support for GIF was restored in gd 2.0.28 on July 21st, 2004. Basic support for GIF animation is planned for an upcoming release. Note that gdlib-config –features can be used to list the image formats supported by gd. Versions of gdlib-config prior to recent updates do not support the –features option, which can be understood to mean GIF is not available.
