Implemented Google WebP Support

[Floren]

This would an amazing enhancement for attachments, especially for sites that use many large pictures.

WebP is a new image format that provides lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. WebP lossless images are 26% smaller in size compared to PNGs. WebP lossy images are 25-34% smaller in size compared to JPEG images at equivalent SSIM index. WebP supports lossless transparency (also known as alpha channel) with just 22% additional bytes. Transparency is also supported with lossy compression and typically provides 3x smaller file sizes compared to PNG when lossy compression is acceptable for the red/green/blue color channels. Webmasters and web developers can use the WebP image format to create smaller and richer images that can help make the web faster.

GD (PHP 5.5) and ImageMagick are supporting WebP. This could be made as option available if PHP 5.5+ is detected. Many of us already use PHP 5.5 anyways.

Likewise, we need webp. So many sites are switching to this.

PhpBB even got this now. (supports it in theme elements/avatar/ranks etc.)

XF 2.3 will have this support i expect, so we just have to wait..

Wordpress is adding WebP support. XenForo should definitely follow.

I agree the same.
I'm sure WebP support will suit Xenforo very well, it should definitely come.

It really is important nowadays...

We are all hoping for .webp support in XF 2.3. I guess we shouldn't be disappointed from that point of view.

developers have confirmed webp support in 2.3 already.

We hope you're enjoying the "Have you seen...?" series for XenForo 2.3 so far. We still have quite a bit more to show you while we work on adding the last finishing touches before we unleash XenForo 2.3 on this very forum. This week we're going to talk about various improvements we have made...
