6.2.0 ----- API Additions ============= Text stroking ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ``stroke_width`` and ``stroke_fill`` arguments have been added to text drawing operations. They allow text to be outlined, setting the width of the stroke and and the color respectively. If not provided, ``stroke_fill`` will default to the ``fill`` parameter. .. code-block:: python from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont font = ImageFont.truetype("Tests/fonts/FreeMono.ttf", 40) font.getsize_multiline("A", stroke_width=2) font.getsize("ABC\nAaaa", stroke_width=2) im = Image.new("RGB", (100, 100)) draw = ImageDraw.Draw(im) draw.textsize("A", font, stroke_width=2) draw.multiline_textsize("ABC\nAaaa", font, stroke_width=2) draw.text((10, 10), "A", "#f00", font, stroke_width=2, stroke_fill="#0f0") draw.multiline_text((10, 10), "A\nB", "#f00", font, stroke_width=2, stroke_fill="#0f0") For example, .. code-block:: python from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont im = Image.new("RGB", (120, 130)) draw = ImageDraw.Draw(im) font = ImageFont.truetype("Tests/fonts/FreeMono.ttf", 120) draw.text((10, 10), "A", "#f00", font, stroke_width=2, stroke_fill="#0f0") creates the following image: .. image:: ../../Tests/images/imagedraw_stroke_different.png ImageGrab on multi-monitor Windows ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ An ``all_screens`` argument has been added to ``ImageGrab.grab``. If ``True``, all monitors will be included in the created image. API Changes =========== Image.getexif ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ To allow for lazy loading of Exif data, ``Image.getexif()`` now returns a shared instance of ``Image.Exif``. Deprecations ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Python 2.7 ~~~~~~~~~~ Python 2.7 reaches end-of-life on 2020-01-01. Pillow 7.0.0 will be released on 2020-01-01 and will drop support for Python 2.7, making Pillow 6.2.x the last release series to support Python 2. Image.frombuffer ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There has been a longstanding warning that the defaults of ``Image.frombuffer`` may change in the future for the "raw" decoder. The change will now take place in Pillow 7.0. Other Changes ============= Removed bdist_wininst .exe installers ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .exe installers fell out of favour with PEP 527, and will be deprecated in Python 3.8. Pillow will no longer be distributing them. Wheels should be used instead. Flags for libwebp in wheels ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ When building libwebp for inclusion in wheels, Pillow now adds the -O3 and -DNDEBUG CFLAGS. 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.
