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 <../installation.rst>`_ for further details. This feature is
tested and works on Unix and Mac, but has not yet been built on Windows
platforms.
New Optional Parameters
=======================
* :py:meth:`PIL.ImageDraw.floodfill` has a new optional parameter:
threshold. This specifies a tolerance for the color to replace with
the flood fill.
* The TIFF and PDF image writers now support the ``append_images``
optional parameter for specifying additional images to create
multipage outputs.
New DecompressionBomb Warning
=============================
:py:meth:`PIL.Image.Image.crop` now may raise a DecompressionBomb
warning if the crop region enlarges the image over the threshold
specified by :py:attr:`PIL.Image.MAX_PIXELS`.
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.
Removed Core Image Function
===========================
The unused function ``Image.core.new_array`` was removed. This is an
internal function that should not have been used by user code, but it
was accessible from the python layer.
