Changes in Python Imaging Library 1.1.6

Welcome to effbot.org!

The 1.1.6 release is available from PythonWare, as well as from the effbot.org downloads section.

(1.1.6 released)

(1.1.6b2 released)

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 (reported by Dan Torop); 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

i = Image.open('lena.jpg')
a = numpy.asarray(i) # a is readonly
i = 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).

(1.1.6b1 released)

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.

(1.1.6a2 released)

(1.1.6a1 released)

Fixed a memory leak in “convert(mode)”, when converting from L to P.
Added pixel access object. The “load” method now returns an 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
```
Fixed building on Cygwin (from Miki Tebeka).
Fixed “point(callable)” on unloaded images (reported by Håkan Karlsson).
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.

(1.1.6a0 released)

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 problems when used with a small number of distinct values (reported by David Kirtley).
Fixed potential integer division in PSDraw.image (from Eric Etheridge).
