(Note for Windows users: the binary distribution of 0.2b3 has been
updated to exactly match the source distribution.  This includes a few
bug fixes, most notably a problem reading some GIF files)

PIL 0.2b3 is now available from the usual place:

    http://www.python.org/sigs/image-sig/Imaging.html

This includes sources, documentation and a binary distribution for
windows 95/NT; all in separate packages.

Highlights:

+ reads non-interlaced PNG files
+ reads some variants of MNG files (experimental)
+ reads and renders placable WMF files (experimental)

And the usual crop of bugfixes and other assorted hacks.  Hope to have
full PNG read/write support in 0.2 final.

The Windows version is linked with the external libraries required to
enable JPEG and PNG support.  A version of _tkinter.dll which supports
PIL are also included.

Post comments and complaints to image-sig@python.org.

Cheers	/F
