It has been a while since I introduced a major feature to Runtime Image Loader. However, here is a brand new one, Runtime GIF loading (via libnsgif).
Besides that, the plugin still allows to asynchronously load an image of any possible format you might have (PNG, JPEG, BMP, TGA, OpenEXR, TIFF, QOI).
I also added support for Mac and Linux. There is limited Android support!
Enjoy!
