destroy() function not necessary anymore or just missing in v3?

[chescos]

v2 had the destroy() function which could free up memory associated with the image instance before the PHP script ended. Is this not necessary anymore for some reason, or just currently not possible with v3?

Intervention Image is a wrapper providing a unified API for GD and Imagick Library. The library is therefore dependent on the functions provided by the extensions.

GD Library's imagedestroy() no longer has an effect since PHP 8, so I have decided to remove support.

I would suggest just trying to set the image variable to null or use unset() to free memory.

I think it makes sense to mention it in the upgrade manual (https://image.intervention.io/v3/introduction/upgrade).
