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
