What does the FreeBSD port add?

+ +

This version reinstates GIF support. Specifically, the following +functions are added: gdImageGif, gdImageGifPtr, gdImageGifCtx, +gdImageGifToSink, gdImageCreateFromGif, gdImageCreateFromGifCtx, +gdImageCreateFromGifSource. +The can be used just like the corresponding functions for the other +image formats. + +

Other functions added, but not documented, are: gdImageLzw, +gdImageLzwPtr, gdImageLzwCtx, gdImageBigGif, gdImageBigGifPtr, +gdImageBigGifCtx. + +

The gdImageOpenPolygon is added. +This is basically the same as gdImagePolygon, +but it does not join the start and end points. It is required by GD.pm. +

What's new in version 2.0.8?
