[Image-SIG] ANN: PIL 1.1.5 alpha 4 (september 19, 2004)

[Rudolf Bahr]

Concerning Debian/unstable and kernel 2.6.8.1:

1. In setup.py I had to set: TCL_ROOT = "/usr/include/tcl8.4"
   in order to get TKINTER support.

2. Concerning "freetype2" support in Debian I had to do a:
   apt-get install libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev.


But then the result has been:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

> 
> Changes in this release includes

> + Build improvements: Fixed building under AIX, improved detection of
>   FreeType2 and Mac OS X framework libraries, and more.  Many thanks
>   to everyone who helped test the new "setup.py" script!
> 
> + Added "getcolors()" method.  This is similar to the existing histo-
>   gram method, but looks at color values instead of individual layers,
>   and returns an unsorted list of (count, color) tuples.
> 
>   By default, the method returns None if finds more than 256 colors.
>   If you need to look for more colors, you can pass in a limit (this
>   is used to allocate internal tables, so you probably don't want to
>   pass in too large values).
> 
> + Fixed BILINEAR/BICUBIC/ANTIALIAS filtering for mode "LA".
