Using the new Tachyon profiler coming to Python 3.15 I profiled a one-liner to find a bottleneck, then sped up some 26-year-old code in @pillow!

๐Ÿ๐Ÿš€๐ŸŽจ Pillow 11.2.1 has been released!

What happened to 11.2.0?

Two things: we added AVIF support which made the wheels much bigger, and we hit the PyPI project size limit before the release could be fully updated.

11.2.1 instead has AVIF support but needs to be built from source. We'll look into including AVIF in wheels in a future release so that the size doesn't increase so much.

This release also adds Arrow support and more:
