[mapserver-users] mapserv 7.0 and gif

Fri Feb 13 05:00:38 PST 2015

According to http://www.mapserver.org/MIGRATION_GUIDE.html#mapserver-6-4-to-7-0-migration:

* GD graphics library support was removed (http://www.mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-99.html) and had been optional since 6.2.
  * GIF output cannot be produced from MapServer although 8-bit PNG output can be be produced using the AGG/PNG8 driver.

It is no longer supported if I understand it correctly.

> Very exciting to see the 7.0 beta! So I built it and satisfied the gif
