[TYPO3-core] FYI #17176: Remove unnecessary comments and color profiles from all shipped .png / .gif files

[Ernesto Baschny [cron IT]]

Hi,

This SVN patch was committed to trunk in rev. 10169 ("svn update" will
take some time to load that, sorry!)

Type: Cleanup / Performance

BT reference: http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=17176

Branches: trunk

Problem:
We want the backend to load faster. By stripping useless comments and
profile information on the static images (icons, sprites, etc) we gain
some speed and our typo3_src package gets smaller.

Solution:
Using a tool like http://imageoptim.pornel.net/ [^] automates this
process. Steffen Gebert has pushed all images from our typo3_src through
this tool and the result is here. The typo3_src directory went down from
70.9Mb to 68.6Mb (2.3Mb of extra-weight gone...)

The provided images were committed to trunk in rev. 10169

Exceptions were made for sysext which have external repositories
(workspaces, versions, dbal, adodb, t3editor, extbase, fluid,

How to test:
Just see if the backend still works and all icons / backgrounds /
gradients / logos etc are there.


Cheers,
Ernesto
