Pillow-simd

-----

- Fixed some 64-bit compatibility warnings for Python 2.5.

- Added threading support for the Sane driver (from Abel Deuring).

-------

- Added experimental "floodfill" function to the ImageDraw module
(based on code by Eric Raymond).

- The default arguments for "frombuffer" doesn't match "fromstring"
and the documentation; this is a bug, and will most likely be fixed
in a future version. In this release, PIL prints a warning message
instead. To silence the warning, change any calls of the form
"frombuffer(mode, size, data)" to::

frombuffer(mode, size, data, "raw", mode, 0, 1)

- Added "fromarray" function, which takes an object implementing the
NumPy array interface and creates a PIL Image from it. (from Travis
Oliphant).

- Added NumPy array interface support (__array_interface__) to the
Image class (based on code by Travis Oliphant).

This allows you to easily convert between PIL image memories and
NumPy arrays::

import numpy, Image
im = Image.open('hopper.jpg')
a = numpy.asarray(im) a is readonly
im = Image.fromarray(a)

- Fixed CMYK polarity for JPEG images, by treating all images as
"Adobe CMYK" images. (thanks to Cesare Leonardi and Kevin Cazabon
for samples, debugging, and patches).

-------

- Added 'expand' option to the Image 'rotate' method. If true, the
output image is made large enough to hold the entire rotated image.

- Changed the ImageDraw 'line' method to always draw the last pixel in
a polyline, independent of line angle.

- Fixed bearing calculation and clipping in the ImageFont truetype
renderer; this could lead to clipped text, or crashes in the low-
level _imagingft module. (based on input from Adam Twardoch and
others).

- Added ImageQt wrapper module, for converting PIL Image objects to
QImage objects in an efficient way.

- Fixed 'getmodebands' to return the number of bands also for "PA"
and "LA" modes. Added 'getmodebandnames' helper that return the
band names.

-------

- Added float/double support to the TIFF loader (from Russell
Nelson).

- Fixed broken use of realloc() in path.c (from Jan Matejek)

- Added save support for Spider images (from William Baxter).

- Fixed broken 'paste' and 'resize' operations in pildriver
(from Bill Janssen).

- Added support for duplex scanning to the Sane interface (Abel
Deuring).

-------

- Fixed a memory leak in "convert(mode)", when converting from
L to P.

- Added pixel access object. The "load" method now returns a
access object that can be used to directly get and set pixel
values, using ordinary [x, y] notation::

pixel = im.load()
v = pixel[x, y]
pixel[x, y] = v

If you're accessing more than a few pixels, this is a lot
faster than using getpixel/putpixel.

- Fixed building on Cygwin (from Miki Tebeka).

- Fixed "point(callable)" on unloaded images (reported by Håkan
Karlsson).

- Fixed size bug in ImageWin.ImageWindow constructor (from Victor
Reijs)

- Fixed ImageMath float() and int() operations for Python 2.4
(reported by Don Rozenberg).

- Fixed "RuntimeError: encoder error -8 in tostring" problem for
wide "RGB", "I", and "F" images.

- Fixed line width calculation.

-------

- Fixed byte order issue in Image.paste(ink) (from Ka-Ping Yee).

- Fixed off-by-0.5 errors in the ANTIALIAS code (based on input
from Douglas Bagnall).

- Added buffer interface support to the Path constructor. If
a buffer is provided, it is assumed to contain a flat array
of float coordinates (e.g. array.array('f', seq)).

- Added new ImageMath module.

- Fixed ImageOps.equalize when used with a small number of distinct
values (reported by David Kirtley).

- Fixed potential integer division in PSDraw.image (from Eric Etheridge).
