Libimagequant support
=====================
There is now support for using libimagequant as a higher quality
2016-05-27 08:52:46 +03:00
quantization option in ``Image.quantize()`` on Unix-like
2016-05-26 23:55:36 +03:00
platforms. This support requires building Pillow from source against
2016-05-27 08:52:46 +03:00
libimagequant. We cannot distribute binaries due to licensing
2016-05-26 23:55:36 +03:00
differences.

New Setup.py options
====================
There are two new options to control the ``build_ext`` task in ``setup.py``:
2016-05-26 23:55:36 +03:00
* ``--debug`` dumps all of the directories and files that are
checked when searching for libraries or headers when building the
extensions.
* ``--disable-platform-guessing`` removes many of the directories
that are checked for libraries and headers for build systems or
cross compilers that specify that information in via environment
variables.

Resizing
========
Image resampling for 8-bit per channel images was rewritten using only integer
2017-05-29 12:42:06 +03:00
computings. This is faster on most platforms and doesn't introduce precision
errors on the wide range of scales. With other performance improvements, this
makes resampling 60% faster on average.
2016-06-30 03:38:18 +03:00
Color calculation for images in the ``LA`` mode on semitransparent pixels
was fixed.
Rotation
========
Rotation for angles divisible by 90 degrees now always uses transposition.
2017-05-29 12:42:06 +03:00
This greatly improves both quality and performance in this case.
2016-07-01 14:27:01 +03:00
Also, the bug with wrong image size calculation when rotating by 90 degrees
2016-06-30 03:38:18 +03:00
was fixed.

Image Metadata
==============
The return type for binary data in version 2 Exif and Tiff metadata
has been changed from a tuple of integers to bytes. This is a change
from the behavior since ``3.0.0``.
