+I'm happy to announce version 1.4.2 of the "tkImg" package
+(formerly known as 'Img").
+
+This package enhances Tk, adding support for many other Image formats.
+
+Changes compared to version 1.4.1:
+
+- Will build correctly on more platforms (TEA upgraded
+ to latest version 3.9)
+- upgrade to zlib 1.2.8, libjpeg-8d
+- Added format option "-alpha" to PNG reader to be compatible with Tk 8.6.
+- Bug fixes in various parsers to avoid core dumps when specifying a
+ wrong format option.
+
+Changes compared to version 1.4:
+
+- Will build correctly on more platforms (TEA upgraded
+ to version 3.9)
+- upgrade to zlib 1.2.7, libpng-1.4.12, libtiff-3.9.4, libjpeg-8c
+
+This version only works with Tcl/Tk 8.3 or higher (tested up to
+8.6.1). If you are using Tk8.2 or lower, please stick with tkImg1.3
+(which is still available).
+
+Currently there are three identical source distributions:
+ tkimg142.zip (for Windows) (about 7.4 Mb)
+ tkimg1.4.2.tar.gz (for Unix) (about 6.6 Mb)
+ tkimg1.4.2.tar.bz2 (for Unix) (about 4.9 Mb)
+
+All these files can be downloaded from:
+ http://sourceforge.net/projects/tkimg/
+
+The most recent info is always available at:
+ http://sourceforge.net/projects/tkimg/
+
+See the README on how to build and use the packages.
+
+For PNG, JPEG and TIFF support the supporting packages have to be
+build and installed. See the file README for more in-depth
+explanations.
+
+For postscript you need Ghostscript (version 2.6 or higher) to be
+available on your system.
