These flags would be used by default if building libwebp +without debugging, and using them fixes a significant decrease in speed when +a wheel-installed copy of Pillow performs libwebp operations. diff --git a/docs/releasenotes/index.rst b/docs/releasenotes/index.rst index 400288883..76c0321e7 100644 --- a/docs/releasenotes/index.rst +++ b/docs/releasenotes/index.rst @@ -6,6 +6,7 @@ Release Notes .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 + 6.2.0 6.1.0 6.0.0 5.4.1
