- update to version 2.5.0
+ The ffmpeg plugin has been refactored:
* The core has been moved to a new library: imageio-ffmpeg.
* That library provides platform-specific wheels that includes ffmpeg,
so just ``pip install imageio-ffmpeg`` instead of the download step.
* Note that this new library is py3k only.
* Termination of ffmpeg subprocess is now more reliable.
* The reader of the ffmpeg plugin now always reports ``inf`` as the number of
frames. Use ``reader.count_frames()`` to get the actual number, or estimate
it from the fps and duration in the meta data.
* Removed ``CannotReadFrameError``.
+ Other changes:
* The avbin plugin has been depreacted and will be removed in a future version.
* Imnproved speed for PIL and FFMPEG plugsins by avoiding memory copies.
* Update the included tiffile library.
* Support for SimpleITK.
* Speed up tiffile plugin when writing to something else than a filename.
* Fix that writing to a file object would not work for some plugins.
* Can now pass image data to the write functions as anything that resolves to
a numpy array with a numeric dtype.
* One can now read from a memoryview.
* Fix error related to paletted BMP with the Pillow plugin.
* Improved logging.
