Are gifs supported in the latest version?

I'm confused because in the documentation I found:

However 'opencv_core.getBuildInformation().string' returns:

and 'imread(file.gif)' returns empty Mat

Start by comparing the documented build information with the output from opencv_core.getBuildInformation().string, then reproduce the empty result from imread(file.gif). Determine whether the latest JavaCPP OpenCV build supports GIF input and whether the documentation or behavior is inconsistent; done means the support status and any required correction are clear.
