[Image-SIG] ANN: PIL 1.1.5 beta 1 (october 3, 2004)

[Fredrik Lundh]

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.
