Yes. One change checks for the necessary version of the jpeg library.
The other defaults to not using libungif and tells you if it's found a
copy that may be dangerous and that you have to enable it explicitly,
knowing you have a suitable version. (I guess that's subject to
problems if you run the binary on a system with a different shared
library, but that's too bad.)
I see. That sounds like maybe the right thing--people are talking
about doing just that. I think none of us realized that your patch
did this. Perhaps everyone else misunderstood the description just as
I did.
I just saw a suggestion that the existence of the function
EGifPutExtensionLast will distinguish the newer version of libungif
from the problematic one, but I can't currently check that.
Can anyone else verify that?
