4.2.0
-----
Added Complex Text Rendering
============================
Pillow now supports complex text rendering for scripts requiring glyph
composition and bidirectional flow. This optional feature adds three
dependencies: harfbuzz, fribidi, and raqm. See the install
documentation for further details. This feature is tested and works on
Un*x and Mac, but has not yet been built on Windows platforms.
Removed Deprecated Items
========================
Several deprecated items have been removed.
* The methods :py:meth:`PIL.ImageWin.Dib.fromstring`,
:py:meth:`PIL.ImageWin.Dib.tostring` and
:py:meth:`PIL.TiffImagePlugin.ImageFileDirectory_v2.as_dict` have
been removed.
* Before Pillow 4.2.0, attempting to save an RGBA image as JPEG would
discard the alpha channel. From Pillow 3.4.0, a deprecation warning
was shown. From Pillow 4.2.0, the deprecation warning is removed and
an :py:exc:`IOError` is raised.
