: * removed GIF support (potential legal issues regarding the Unisys patent)

  I personally don't mind this.
  Actually that patenting nonsense is so irritating that this kind of
"boicot" feels only good.
  I will not miss gif support. Most programs nowadays support png, which is
better in every way (and AFAIK compresses better than gif).

  Now, some people may want some (still) free utilities to convert gifs to
pngs. Anyone know of any?

  And btw (to someone posting about gimp), gimp supports png. I don't see
the problem.
