generated by some neutron image plate detector) -- PIL is lacking
some infrastructure here so it gets treated like "black is zero"
but this is fine for me because I don't want to interpret it
photometrically anyway
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
changes:
Version 1.1.4 adds improved build scripts, truetype/opentype font support,
memory mapping support also for non-Windows platforms, screen and clipboard
grabbing on Windows, support for CSS-style color strings, support for
IPTC/NAA and EXIF metadata, and more.
pkgsrc note:
We don't build the truetype component yet -- this might go into a separate
pkg to get more finegrained dependencies.
(Py-Imaging is supposed to work offline to, ie w/o X11.)
changes:
+ Adapted to Python 1.6, 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2. This version also
runs under 1.5.2, but probably not under versions older than
that.
+ To reduce module dependencies, the Tkinter support has been
moved to a separate binary module.
+ The JPEG decoder is more tolerant for broken files. As long
as all image data can be read, it won't complain.
+ An ANTIALIAS downsampling filter has been added.
+ Includes distutils build script (setup.py) for 2.0 and later.
+ The usual crop of bug fixes and performance tweaks.
