It's well-written, stable code. As far as I know it does what people want (at least it's done everything I've needed when I've used it). Why should it matter that there hasn't been an official release in two years?

The Python Imaging Library is still current; I guess they just haven't found any new bugs or seen fit to add new functionality in a while, though I presume they'll start working on a Python 3.0 port eventually.

That's actually an interesting question. Does anybody know if PIL is being ported to 3.0? Are there such plans? Maybe even code?

I have found the FreeImage library with the Python bindings quite workable. I work with multi-page TIF images and this seemed to be the best option.
The FreeImage library seems to be actively maintained too (Last release in July 08 with updates to many of the image processing plug- ins). The python bindings took me a bit to understand as they try to emulate PIL, however they are implemented using ctypes, so you can change/manage yourself if needed. I found working directly with the functions exported from the .dll the best option and gave the best performance.
