The recently imposed "must be logged in" restriction is a response to increased bot traffic on the site. This affects search, commits, and vuxml pages.
Search engines are not blocked. Try using "site:www.freshports.org" and your search terms.
After the ports freeze to fix some stuff, the freeze is over. I have some work to do before FreshPorts can start processing commits again before it can start processing again. I've created an issue for that.

Description:
CGIF is a fast and lightweight GIF encoder that can create GIF animations and images. Summary of the main features: - user-defined global or local color-palette with up to 256 colors (limit of the GIF format) - size-optimizations for GIF animations: - option to set a pixel to transparent if it has identical color in the previous frame (transparency optimization) - do encoding just for the rectangular area that differs from the previous frame (width/height optimization) - fast: a GIF with 256 colors and 1024x1024 pixels can be created in below 50 ms even on a minimalistic system - MIT license (permissive) - different options for GIF animations: static image, N repetitions, infinite repetitions - additional source-code for verifying the encoder after making changes - user-defined delay time from one frame to the next (can be set independently for each frame) - source-code conforms to the C99 standard

graphics/cgif: Add cgif 0.3.0

CGIF is a fast and lightweight GIF encoder that can create GIF animations and
images. Summary of the main features:
- user-defined global or local color-palette with up to 256 colors (limit of the
  GIF format)
- size-optimizations for GIF animations:
  - option to set a pixel to transparent if it has identical color in the
    previous frame (transparency optimization)
  - do encoding just for the rectangular area that differs from the previous
    frame (width/height optimization)
- fast: a GIF with 256 colors and 1024x1024 pixels can be created in below 50 ms
  even on a minimalistic system
- MIT license (permissive)
- different options for GIF animations: static image, N repetitions, infinite
  repetitions
- additional source-code for verifying the encoder after making changes
- user-defined delay time from one frame to the next (can be set independently
  for each frame)
- source-code conforms to the C99 standard
