PIL failed to load #522

Closed mdskier closed 4 months ago

mdskier commented 4 months ago

Downloaded the latest version (7.0.1) and am getting the following: WARNING (18:05:29): Attempted to load an insecure PIL version (8.3.2). We require PIL 10.0.1 or higher. WARNING (18:05:29): PIL failed to load -- images will not be displayed.

I see there was a change in v7.0.0 to disable Pillow until an upgrade path can be found. Did that patch not get included in v7.0.1?

The full changelog for that patch is available via Releases https://github.com/MLB-LED-Scoreboard/mlb-led-scoreboard/releases/tag/v7.0.1

In short, v7.0.0 disables Pillow due to a CVE that was not easily addressed by many users since it requires at least Python 3.8.

If your Python is supported, you can always install it manually:

sudo python3 -m pip install Pillow>=10.0.1

We plan to re-enable this by default in v8.0.0. Note this is a major version increase due to the fact that most users will be required to install Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm to move to a supported Python version.
