Hi,

Today I found a new version of gifsky, which is supposed to be twice as fast (https://github.com/ImageOptim/gifski/releases/tag/1.6.1) and, since gifski.dll, but also ffmpeg.exe date back to September 2020, I was wondering it would be worth updating both.

Also, would it be safe for users to just replace these files manually? I'm particularly concerned about ffmpeg.exe, because, as far as I can remember, there are different versions (shared, static, etc.) and I always get confused about it.

Thanks in advance for your time!

For FFmpeg, it should work normally with the new version.
As for Gifski, I'll need to check what changed.

I second this, the new version gifiski is SUPER good!

This is the compare between StG and gifski

StG with Gifski 80% quality(version unknown, md5 hash: CC3C408D3A50333840F542043B77D7FF)
File size: 5.18 MiB
StG80

Gifski 80% quality (official .exe, ver 1.11.0)
File size: 315 KiB (!)
gifski80

The quality and stability of new gifski is really impressive

StG with gifski, close look

Project for test (the size is too big so this is actually 7z archive, rename it to p1.7z):
