Folks,
In the great PIL tradition of only releasing alphas and betas, I've
decided to skip 0.2 final and go directly on to 0.3. The reason is
simple: I've added way too many features during the 0.2 beta phase
(cannot really complain about that, can you?). Anyway, to make up for
this, I plan to make a quick test cycle for 0.3. There will probably
be only one beta (some cool user-provided patches, a few other fixes,
a handbook), in mid-June, followed by a 0.3final towards the end of
the month.
The alpha release can be found here:

A prebuilt Windows binary will be available later this week.
Enjoy /F

The Python Imaging Library 0.3a1
====================================================================
This is an alpha release of the new Python Imaging Library (PIL).
News highlights in 0.3a1 (as compared to 0.2b4):
+ Support floating point images, including new decoders to deal with
virtually any kind of input data.
+ The Tk interface now supports transparent images.
*** NOTE: the Tk interface has been changed; you need to rebuild
*** your Tkinter properly handle the new interface.
+ Added McIdas read support.
+ Added PIXAR raster read support.
+ Added FlashPix (FPX) read support.
+ Added Microsoft Image Composer (MIC) read support.
+ Fixed the FLI/FLC reader to properly read FLC files.
+ Fixed the PDF writer. It now properly writes "L" and "RGB"
images.
+ Fixed various minor problems with 0.2b4
For more information on these and other changes, see the CHANGES
document included in the distribution.
