installed library is still libgd, which is on purpose. It looks like very little needs to be done after all to make current gd users switch, so gd2 will, hopefully, quickly become gd again. XPM will be used by default now, unless WITHOUT_XPM is declared. When XPM can be built without installing X11, this is seems sensible.

gd is a graphics library. It allows your code to quickly draw images
|
|
complete with lines, arcs, text, multiple colors, cut and paste from
|
|
other images, and flood fills, and write out the result as a PNG or JPEG
|
|
file. This is particularly useful in World Wide Web applications, where
|
|
PNG and JPEG are two of the formats accepted for inline images by most
|
|
browsers.
|
|
|
|
gd does not provide for every possible desirable graphics operation.
|
|
It is not necessary or desirable for gd to become a kitchen-sink
|
|
graphics package, but version 2.0 does include most frequently requested
|
|
features, including both truecolor and palette images, resampling
|
|
(smooth resizing of truecolor images) and so forth.
