GIF Support Returns to GD 364
g_adams27 writes "Legions of geeks and developers owe a debt of gratitude to Tom Boutell and his "gd" library, which powers the drawing and graphic-generating tools used by dozens of open-source projects. And now, with the expiration of the last Unisys patent on the GIF format, support for GIFs has finally been reinserted in gd. The GIF/PNG/MNG wars may continue, but having more options is good!"

So while PNG might be technically or whatever superior and though I appreciate PNG for many uses as well I am still glad GIF has returned to GD.

Yep, I do. People like YOU are posers. CSS is hardly 'bleeding edge.' People like YOU are what's holding back 4-year-old standards from becoming requirements. The point you're making is that you're a shortsighted idiot with little real comprehension of the impact of the things you do.
