changes:
+ Runs under Python 1.5.2 and newer, including 2.4. You may need
additional libraries to build under 1.5.2; see instructions below.
+ New build procedure. The setup.py file now configures and builds
the core library as well as the bindings, in one step.
+ Added stub drivers for BUFR, FITS, GRIB, HDF5, and WMF files.
Stub drivers can identify the file format, but relies on
application-provided drivers to read or write images in that
format.
+ Added experimental "LA" mode support. An "LA" image is an "L"
image with an attached transparency layer.
+ Added "RankFilter", "MinFilter", "MedianFilter", and "MaxFilter"
classes to the ImageFilter module.
+ Improved support for applications using multiple threads on
systems with multiple processors and/or hyperthreading processors.
+ Added EXIF GPSInfo read support for JPEG files.
+ Lots of bug fixes and performance tweaks.
pkgsrc note: freetype and tiff support isn't built yet, should be
separate pkgs

This release is a bugfix release, which means that no new features have
been added. However, it contains many bugfixes, and we would like to
highlight the following:
* Improved OASIS OpenDocument Support
The support for the OpenDocument format has been greatly improved,
especially in KWord, KSpread and KPresenter. In particular, care has
been taken to insure better interoperability with the new release
candidate of Open Office 2.0.
* Major Improvement of Karbon, the vector application
Karbon has seen a flurry of development lately, and many fixes have
gone into it. [although karbon still fails to run on NetBSD and OpenBSD]
also fixes the security issue described in
