GIF, SVG and PDF image processing is finally available in latest versions of bimg/imaginary.

@h2non I see that you added preliminary support in 7be9d7b, cool!

You're right. GIF image formats (and SVG, TIFF... as well) can be handled by libvips, if it's backed by libmagick.

Since libmagick is an standalone library which is not provided by default with libvips, I've no plans to provide any specific support to it bundled with bimg, except detecting the magick generic type as you've mentioned, in order to handle that type accordingly if your libvips environment can deal new types via third-party integrations.

At the moment I don't need to handle GIF based images, but if you are looking for that, feel free to fork and make the hacks you need. I'm curious about seeing it handling new images formats (specially SVG) in a reliable way.

I been playing with gifsicle (recommended my google in pagespeed docs), for now I just detect type of image == gif and run it through a simple wrapper like this https://github.com/chonthu/gifopt.

FWIW, if you build from github master, you get non-imagemagick GIF loading: http://libvips.blogspot.com/2016/02/new-image-loaders.html

Looks like it will be officially supported in 8.3.
