+- updated to 2.840.0 (2.84)
+   see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-GD/ChangeLog
+
+  2.84    * Added Makefile.PL --with and --without options to bypass autodetection
+  	  errors or upstream libgd or subsequent library errors, as
+  	  libtiff 4.5.1+git230720 wrongly packaged on ubuntu/debian (GH #55).
+  	* Better support MSWin32 without gdlib.pc. Requires manual --options and
+  	  --lib_gd_path.
+  	* Workaround broken ExtUtils::PkgConfig->find (GH #61)
+  	* Fixed snprintf for newer MSVC (>= VS 2015)
+  	* Added GD::Image::supported() image types method.
+  	* Added newFromTiffData() method.
+  	* Fixed t/GD.t for unsupported image types.
+  	* Add GIFANIM to the default since 2.0.33 (PeterCJ GH #56)
+  	* Honor PKG_CONFIG_PATH for finding gdlib.pc (PeterCJ GH #57)
+  	* Add demos/png2jpeg.pl
