• @adamsilverstein: New ticketticket Created for both bug reports and feature development on the bug tracker. to ensure coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. support for WebP is complete: #57328
  • When WebP was introduced to core, the implementation focused primarily on the most common use – lossy images. Part of the reason is that although WebP supports lossless compression, alpha transparency and animation as a format, actual support in WordPress depends on the underlying graphics engine (GD/Imagick) where support for these is more varied (for example GD only supports lossless WebP since version 2.3.3 and PHPPHP The web scripting language in which WordPress is primarily architected. WordPress requires PHP 5.6.20 or higher vs 8.1). Furthermore, detecting support for these features of the format is difficult or maybe not possible.
  • If anyone has the bandwidth to dig into this issue, guessing we can improve the current implementation to better match the expectations outlined in the ticket.

  • @adamsilverstein: Some recent discussions (see https://github.com/WordPress/wporg-mu-plugins/issues/300), but nothing very recently
