Hugo van Kemenade<p>Pillow 11.1.0 is out!</p><p>One of the cool updates is we're using zlib-ng 2.2.2 instead of zlib 1.2.8/1.3.1, which is more than twice as fast at saving PNGs at higher compression levels.</p><p>In more detail, zlib-ng has the same file sizes for compression level 0 and bigger files for level 1, but if you care about size, any higher level gives more or less the same file size, and zlib-ng is much faster.</p><p><a href="https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/pull/8500" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/python-pillow/Pillo</span><span class="invisible">w/pull/8500</span></a></p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@pillow/113757790051979210" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fosstodon.org/@pillow/11375779</span><span class="invisible">0051979210</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Pillow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pillow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Python</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/release" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>release</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/zlib" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>zlib</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/zlibng" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>zlibng</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/png" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>png</span></a></p>
