PIL 1.1.5 beta 2 (aka rc0) is now available from effbot.org: http://effbot.org/downloads#imaging
(look for Imaging-1.1.5b2.tar.gz. no compiled windows versions yet; hopefully later this week) Visible changes in this release include: + Added DPI read/write support to the PNG codec. The decoder sets the info["dpi"] attribute for PNG files with appropriate resolution settings. The encoder uses the "dpi" option (based on code by Niki Spahiev). + Added limited support for "point" mappings from mode "I" to mode "L". Only 16-bit values are supported (other values are clipped), the lookup table must contain exactly 65536 entries, and the mode argument must be set to "L". + Added support for Mac OS X icns files (based on code by Bob Ippolito). + Added "ModeFilter" support to the ImageFilter module. + Added support for Spider images (from William Baxter). See the comments in PIL/SpiderImagePlugin.py for more information on this format.
