- Changes in version 5.2.0
* The undocumented and deprecated GifQuantizeBuffer() entry point
has been moved to the util library to reduce libgif size and attack
surface. Applications needing this function are couraged to link the
util library or make their own copy.

gifecho, giffilter, gifinto, gifsponge. These were either installed in

like ImageMagick convert. They may be removed entirely in a future
release.
