News Highlights in 1.1.6a2:
97
--------------------------------------------------------------------
99
+ Runs under Python 1.5.2 and newer, including 2.4. You may need
100
additional libraries to build under 1.5.2; see instructions below.
102
+ New build procedure. The setup.py file now configures and builds
103
the core library as well as the bindings, in one step.
105
+ Added stub drivers for BUFR, FITS, GRIB, HDF5, and WMF files.
106
Stub drivers can identify the file format, but relies on
107
application-provided drivers to read or write images in that
110
+ Added experimental "LA" mode support. An "LA" image is an "L"
111
image with an attached transparency layer.
113
+ Added "RankFilter", "MinFilter", "MedianFilter", and "MaxFilter"
114
classes to the ImageFilter module.
116
+ Improved support for applications using multiple threads on
117
systems with multiple processors and/or hyperthreading processors.
119
+ Added EXIF GPSInfo read support for JPEG files.
121
+ Lots of bug fixes and performance tweaks.

missing, installing a prebuilt version (jpeg-devel, zlib-devel,

etc) is usually easier than building from source.
