2.9.0:
Fixed
More robust loading of FEI SEM data.
Fix webcam not working on Win10.
Added
Add a few standard images useful to 3D visualization.
The timeout used in HTTP requests can now be set with an environment variable.
The DICOM plugin can now used gdcm for compressed transfer formats.
Better support for itk/sitk plugins.
Test coverage and CI for ARM.
pkglint --only "https instead of http" -r -F
With manual adjustments afterwards since pkglint 19.4.4 fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines.
This mainly affects projects hosted at SourceForce, as well as
freedesktop.org, CTAN and GNU.
Version 2.5.0:
The ffmpeg plugin has been refactored:
The core has been moved to a new library: imageio-ffmpeg.
That library provides platform-specific wheels that includes ffmpeg, so just pip install imageio-ffmpeg instead of the download step.
Note that this new library is py3k only.
Termination of ffmpeg subprocess is now more reliable.
The reader of the ffmpeg plugin now always reports inf as the number of frames. Use reader.count_frames() to get the actual number, or estimate it from the fps and duration in the meta data.
Removed CannotReadFrameError.
Other changes:
The avbin plugin has been depreacted and will be removed in a future version.
Imnproved speed for PIL and FFMPEG plugsins by avoiding memory copies.
Update the included tiffile library.
Support for SimpleITK.
Speed up tiffile plugin when writing to something else than a filename.
Fix that writing to a file object would not work for some plugins.
Can now pass image data to the write functions as anything that resolves to a numpy array with a numeric dtype.
One can now read from a memoryview.

Fix installation issue on flavors of Ubuntu 14.04 /w Python 2.7.

Improvements to reading and writing of Tiff metadata.
Better dealing of tifffile dependencies on Python 2.7.
Reader for the SPE format.
Better termination of FFMPEG when reading from webcam.

Note that this used to be part of py-scipy.
Imageio is a Python library that provides an easy interface to read
and write a wide range of image data, including animated images,
video, volumetric data, and scientific formats. It is cross-platform,
runs on Python 2.7 and 3.4+, and is easy to install.
