PIL is 20! - NFHN Reader

On Monday 15th June 2015, the Python Imaging Library (PIL), from which Pillow is a fork, turns 20 years old!

From the Image-SIG mailing list in June 2005:

just fyi:

$ cd pil
$ grep 1995-06 /.c
libImaging/Convert.c: * 1995-06-15 fl created
libImaging/Except.c: * 1995-06-15 fl Created
libImaging/Geometry.c: * 1995-06-15 fl Created
libImaging/Histo.c: * 1995-06-15 fl Created.
libImaging/Storage.c: * 1995-06-15 fl Created

thanks to everyone who's used PIL for cool stuff for the last decade,
and everyone who's contributed cool stuff to PIL !

cheers /F

And checking again today:
