Drop optimize #559

Closed jrief closed 3 years ago

jrief commented 3 years ago

My impression is that easy-thumbnails.optimize is obsolete. This presumably, because newer versions of Pillow/PIL do their job better than in 2013 (when I added the optimize submodule). Running optipng or jpegoptim on any image thumbnailed by this library did not or marginally decrease their payload.

Therefore I'm going to remove easy-thumbnails.optimize from the easy-thumbnails project, because keeping that code leaves another moving part without any benefit.

sorry, opened against the wrong branch. Closing for now, will reopen in the future.
