Describe the bug

When upgrading from Ubuntu 22.04 to Ubuntu 24.04, I noticed that AVIF support is missing. As my application uses AVIF, I did some systematic tests:

function imagecreatefromavif seems to be available for		Ubuntu 22.04	Ubuntu 24.04
PHP 8.1	available	available
PHP 8.2	available	missing
PHP 8.3	available	missing

Your understanding of what is happening

It seems that AVIF support has been deactivated for these build (but didn't find your packaging code repository to confirm that theory). As I see some other issues reported here concerning AVIF support, I'm not sure if this was done intentionally.

Are there any plans to support AVIF for Ubuntu 24.04 (except in PHP 8.1)?

Expected behavior

• functions imagecreatefromavif and imageavif are available
• phpinfo() reports "AVIF Support" in section "gd"

I think this might solve itself with the next upload as I uploaded updated libgd2 this week.
