Will peer support APNG in the future version?

@CasperHK i agree with you.that's more like it .

I thought about this, too, when reading that Chrome 59 will add support APNG. Not 100% sure yet, as this would require different tools (both imagemagick and ffmpeg do not handle APNG). Have to investigate a bit more. But I actually would like to support it, as it fits well into what Peek is doing.

Also see my comment on #89 (comment) for some more information on APNG and WebP. But the point about browser support will change if Chrome jumps in and support it. For MS Edge it is at least under review: https://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/257854-microsoft-edge-developer/suggestions/6513393-apng-animated-png-images-support-firefox-and-sa

I just learned that ffmpeg can generate apng. Not quite sure since when this was available, the official documentation also does not mention the APNG muxer, but it exists (https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/SponsoringPrograms/GSoC/2015#AnimatedPortableNetworkGraphicsAPNG). And with my current changes to use ffmpeg also for GIF this becomes quite trivial to add, so expect this in the next release :D

Same is true for WebP by the way, although I tried it and was not happy with the quality produced.

I implemented this, just needs some testing in different distributions and updating of the custom ffmpeg builds for app packages.

But it is working great for me here locally.

Working well in master branch. I would welcome some testing and feedback, but for now I think this is working fine.
