for samples, debugging, and patches).

Jeff Epler).

1.1.5b3

is larger than 256. This release raises a ValueError exception;

- Added WBMP read/write support (based on code by Duncan Booth).

1.1.5b2

and Sane/CHANGES files for more information.

tolist(1) returns a flattened list instead.

to everyone who helped test the new "setup.py" script!

1.1.5a4

- The "save" method now looks for a file format driver before

creating the file.

1.1.5a3

Imaging pointer. The description string is set to IMAGING_MAGIC.

1.1.5a2

- The "paste" method now supports the alternative "paste(im, mask)"

syntax (in this case, the box defaults to im's bounding box).

1.1.5a1

- Replaced broken WMF driver with a WMF stub plugin (see below).

input from Jeff Breidenbach).

1.1.4 final

- Fixed ImageTk build problem on Unix.

1.1.4b2

- Improved building on Mac OS X (from Jack Jansen).

an 8-pixel Courier font, taken from the X window distribution).

1.1.4b1

- Added experimental EXIF support for JPEG files. To extract EXIF

information from a JPEG file, open the file as usual, and call the

module.

1.1.4a4

- Added updated SANE driver (Andrew Kuchling, Abel Deuring)

- Ignore Unicode characters in the BDF loader (from Graham Dumpleton)

1.1.4a3 released; windows only

- Added experimental RGBA-on-RGB drawing support. To use RGBA

colours on an RGB image, pass "RGBA" as the second string to

device context.

1.1.4a2

- Improved support for 16-bit unsigned integer images (mode "I;16").

This includes TIFF reader support, and support for "getextrema"

filenames (not in 1.1.4), or None if neither was found.

1.1.4a1

- Improved support for drawing RGB data in palette images. You can

now use RGB tuples or colour names (see below) when drawing in a

- Improved decoder error messages.

1.1.3 final

- Made setup.py look for old versions of zlib. For some back-

ground, see: https://zlib.net/advisory-2002-03-11.txt

1.1.3c2

- Added setup.py file (tested on Unix and Windows). You still

need to build libImaging/imaging.lib in the traditional way,

buffer wasn't properly allocated).

1.1.3c1

- Added ANTIALIAS downsampling filter for high-quality "resize"

and "thumbnail" operations. Also added filter option to the

for normal image operations.

1.1.2c1 and 1.1.2 final

- Adapted to Python 2.1. Among other things, all uses of the

"regex" module have been replaced with "re".

- Changed ImageChops operators to copy palette and info dictionary from the first image argument.

1.1.1

- Additional fixes for Python 1.6/2.0, including TIFF "save" bug.

- To make it easier to distribute prebuilt versions of PIL, the tkinit binding stuff has been moved to a separate extension module, named "_imagingtk".

0.3b2 to 1.0 final

- If there's no 16-bit integer (like on a Cray T3E), set INT16 to the smallest integer available. Most of the library works just fine anyway (from Bill Crutchfield)

- Tweaks to make drawing work on big-endian platforms.

1.0c2

- If PIL is built with the WITH_TKINTER flag, ImageTk can automatically hook into a standard Tkinter build. You no longer need to build your own Tkinter to use the ImageTk module.

- ImageFont "load_path" now scans directory mentioned in .pth files (from Richard Jones).

1.0c1

- The TIFF plugin has been rewritten. The new plugin fully

supports all major PIL image modes (including F and I).

"xv" to choke upon. (bug reported by Les Schaffer).

1.0b2

- Major speedups for rotate, transform(EXTENT), and transform(AFFINE) when using nearest neighbour resampling.

- Fixed -f option to "pilconvert.py" (from Anthony Baxter)

1.0b1

- Added Toby J. Sargeant's quantization package. To enable quantization, use the "palette" option to "convert":

- Some file drivers didn't handle the optional "modify" argument to the load method. This resulted in exceptions when you used "paste" (and other methods that modify an image in place) on a newly opened file.

0.3b2

The test suite includes 825 individual tests.

- Some file drivers (including FLI/FLC, GIF, and IM) accidentally overwrote the offset method with an internal attribute. All drivers have been updated to use private attributes where possible.

- The Image "histogram" method now works for "I" and "F" images. For these modes, PIL divides the range between the min and max values used in the image into 256 bins.

You can also pass in your own min and max values via the "extrema" option:

h = im.histogram(extrema=(0, 255))

*** WARNING: MAY BREAK EXISTING CODE ***

0.3b1

The test suite includes 750 individual tests.

- Various minor fixes.

0.3a4

- Added experimental IPTC/NAA support.

- Fixed "fromstring" and "tostring" for mode "I" images.

0.3a3

The test suite includes 530 individual tests.

- Fixed a potential buffer overrun in the GIF encoder.

0.3a2

The test suite includes 400 individual tests.

- Removed bogus references to the crack coder (ImagingCrack).

0.3a1

- Make sure image is loaded in "tostring".

- Added floating point packer (native 32-bit floats only).

0.1b1 to 0.2 (b5)

- Modified "fromstring" and "tostring" methods to use file codecs. Also added "fromstring" factory method to create an image directly from data in a string.

- Added XPM (X pixmap) read support.

0.2b3

- Added MNG (multi-image network graphics) read support. "Ming" is a proposed animation standard, based on the PNG file format.

- More conversions, including "RGB" to "1" and more.

0.2a1

- Where earlier versions accepted lists, this version accepts arbitrary Python sequences (including strings, in some cases). A few resource leaks were plugged in the process.
