gifski 1.6.6 (2022-04-04)

• Update vendored gifski to upstream 1.6.6
• Note gifski 1.6.6 requires at least Rust 1.56 / Windows 7. On older systems we fall back on the previous gifski 1.4.3 version. This includes the old CRAN winbuilder used for R < 4.2.

• Add libgifski ucrt64 binary

gifski 1.4.3 (2021-03-22)

• Add workaround for compiling with old rustc compilers
• Add workaround for linking error with experimental UCRT toolchain

gifski 0.8.7 (2021-02-28)

• CRAN insists that we override the standard cargo/rust behaviour which stores registry and crate data in ~/.cargo, because policy. So we now build with CARGO_HOME set to a temporary dir that is deleted afterwards. This probably makes this slower and more error prone, but I don't make these rules.

gifski 0.8.6 (2018-09-28)

• Update gifski crate to 0.8.6
• save_gif() now properly closes graphics device when expr errors
• More rubust C code to prevent segfaults on write errors
