The Python Imaging Library (PIL) adds image processing capabilities to your Python interpreter. This library supports many file formats, and provides powerful image processing and graphics capabilities, including display support for Windows and Tkinter. PIL 1.1.5 beta 1 is now available from effbot.org: http://effbot.org/downloads#imaging (look for Imaging-1.1.5b1.tar.gz. if you're using Windows, get PIL-1.1.5b1 for your Python version) Changes in this release includes + Added new Sane release (from Ralph Heinkel). See the Sane/README and Sane/CHANGES files for more information. + Added experimental PngInfo chunk container to the PngImageFile module. This can be used to add arbitrary chunks to a PNG file. Create a PngInfo instance, use "add" or "add_text" to add chunks, and pass the instance as the "pnginfo" option when saving the file. + Added "getpalette" method. This returns the palette as a list, or None if the image has no palette. To modify the palette, use "getpalette" to fetch the current palette, modify the list, and put it back using "putpalette". + Added optional flattening to the ImagePath "tolist" method. tolist() or tolist(0) returns a list of 2-tuples, as before. tolist(1) returns a flattened list instead. + Some more (minor) build tweaks.
