Hello Gilles-Philippe,

Thank you for the additional information. In terms of testing the patch
on the front-end, what would need to be done? Would we just need to
check that the current images, e.g. the block images, the license images
are still displayed correctly? The only image you seem to have replaced
is the site logo. Would that be correct?

Thanks
Kristina

Title:
  Use SVG images and provide backward compatibility

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Suggestion by Gilles-Philippe Leblanc:

  In the Moodle software, the images are all managed by a cascade system.
  The function initially looking if a svg file exists, then a png, then gif, jpg and ico.

  This lets you use a svg file and maintain backward compatibility.

  The system also detects if the browser supports SVG. Generally, all
  browsers support this format except Internet Explorer 8 and below.

  Everything is cached to avoid unnecessary calculation.

  So I was wondering if it was planned to add the following components to do this:
  * A library for browser detection on the server side
  * A function to find the right file extension
  * A library for caching php
