 Why do you need 1.5?

Isn't that the one with GIF support on it?

Look around a bit.  All versions of GD can be found with gif support.

...but here

it says:
  GD does not create GIF images

Or am I missing something? :)

Well, I just wanted to say that not *all* support it--esp. , I think, by the
original authors :)

Didn't they remove it from version 1.6? That's why the original poster was
looking for v1.5? (Maybe he's concerned about copyright, etc.)

PS
BTW, of course someone can argue about what the word support implies. You
can just add a patch and it'll support it but that wasn't my point, at
least...

The official GD library no longer supports GIF ...

 Didn't they remove it from version 1.6? That's why the original poster was
 looking for v1.5? (Maybe he's concerned about copyright, etc.)

... because of patents issues with the some aspects of the GIF format.

If the OP was concerned about such issues then he/she should not be using GIF 
at all!

IIRC the author specifically removed all older versions of GD (those that 
supported GIF). Thus is you're talking 'official' support then GD does not 
support GIF, period, because the older versions aren't supposed to exist 
anymore. So basically if you want GD with GIF you're going have to patch it.

True. You've got a point there.

Anyway, that was just my wild guess...

And besides,

I thought, those issues shouldn't apply anyway to versions 1.5 and below.
(Of course, the original author thinks otherwise so I'm not going to argue
that...)

The patents issue still apply no matter what version you're using. Basically 
you're not allowed to use GIF in anything without a license from Unisys (the 
patent holder).
