      <simpara>
       Before PHP 7.4.0, the bundled libgd used a somewhat different algorithm,

       for system and bundled libgd.

       The behavior of imagecropauto() in the bundled libgd has been synced with
       that of system libgd: <constant>IMG_CROP_DEFAULT</constant> no longer falls
       back to <constant>IMG_CROP_SIDES</constant> and threshold-cropping now uses
       the same algorithm as system libgd.

       The default value of <parameter>mode</parameter> has been changed to

       <literal>-1</literal> which corresponds to <constant>IMG_CROP_DEFAULT</constant>,
       but passing <literal>-1</literal> is now deprecated.
