Description Adam Mariš 2017-01-31 14:37:45 UTC

There has been no movement on this issue for four months. Is this going to be worked on?

The previous upstream patch described in comment #0 just adds whitespaces to the code. It seems like the actual patch is at:

https://github.com/libgd/libgd/commit/c3cf674cb444696a36f720f785878b41225af063#diff-2ebe418bf93ac39773a117e4b38fe86a
