I see that some (not all) of the functions found in GD 2.0.12 have been
introduced into the bundled libgd, but even though functions like
imagesetclip()/getclip() are there PHP wrappers haven't been created...

Can anyone hint what will happen regarding these things? (esp. the three
functions I provided a patch for)? I don't want to rely on their
existance in my scripts until I know PHP5 will have them... I'll add
them myself if no one objects.

John

I did not create any wrappers for the new GD functions, yet my goal was to 
sync our GD with the 'official' one. The one function I did not sync is image 
rotate since our bundled gd has an internal implementation which in my tests 
had proven to be better.

The clipping function wrapper you are more then welcome to add to PHP5.
