Hi list.
I want to gratulate you for finally including the GDlib as a bundled extension to PHP and recognize
that the Boutell people has apparently stalled the development...
Now it also seems like new PHP/GD-only functions are sneaking in (there is a imagelayereffect and
imagecolormatch function added) and that is even better!
I have now played around with GD for the last few days and added around 10+ new vital functions
which are must-haves for what must be tons of people needing a truely powerful graphics manipulation
engine. I'll tell you more about those functions and demonstrating them by a demo-website soon.
But my actual request is this:
- Who is in charge of the bundled GD? (Who can I discuss it with)
- What is the policy on that library? Do you want it to be expanded with new functions?
- Would you be positive towards additions from me? (I want to know this before I spend more
brainpower)
- How can I help? (I'm new to this list but is a very experienced PHP programmer since PHP/FI
2)
I really want to help the development of the bundled GD to be a powerful image manipulation package.
For now my changes are simply additions and I'm going to supply full documentation of the API
and possibly also offer a public testsite for the demonstration. If that is at all appreciated,
please let me know.
