Updated libvips for ruby image

In https://feedback.render.com/features/p/add-libvips-to-ruby-image libvips was added to Ruby images.
But when I try to use Rails ActiveStorage with heic files I get an error like "VipsForeignLoad heic is not a known file format".
Just googling for that I found this: https://github.com/libvips/php-vips/issues/111, which makes it sound like an updated (or extended?) version of libvips is needed.

We really need this too as it seems both VIPS and the lesser ImageMagik don't seem to be working either. Seems to just be on the Render images and it a core Rails feature now by default.

I could definitely use this as well. Ran into this issue myself. The files are annoying but many I-phone cameras save these files by default and users try to upload them to apps. Latest libvips can handle the files and convert to other formats so with that we could have conversions working in production.

Hi,
May I make a mistake telling you that If you check https://caniuse.com/?search=heic this format is not yet cross browser accepted and so does it is need for render ?
My opinion is no.
Best regards,

Johnny_H: That is incorrect. libvips will allow users to upload HEIC images, convert them to, say, PNG images, and then display in the browser with full support.
