This flag should be set for packages that import pkg_resources
and thus need setuptools after the build step.
Set this flag for packages that need it and bump PKGREVISION.
2.9.0:
Fixed
More robust loading of FEI SEM data.
Fix webcam not working on Win10.

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.

pkglint --only "https instead of http" -r -F
With manual adjustments afterwards since pkglint 19.4.4 fixed a few

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.

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.

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.
