#27800 [Com]: gd extension fails with gd 1.2 lib

ID: 27800 Comment by: reinke at securityspace dot com Reported By: php at tyra dot ch Status: Bogus Bug Type: Compile Failure Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.3.5 New Comment: Having supported gd1.2 for gif support for now literally years, it would be nice if gd1.2 support could be retained for another 3-4 months until gif patent expires in June(?) allowing us all to move on to gd2.x which will then have gif support re-added. It's particularly annoying when a 'bug fix only' release breaks or removes functionality working in a previous release. Perhaps the 5.x stream is more appropriate for removal of gd1.2 support?
