* The installation instructions were extended to cover
the cases where pip was (willingly or not) used with
the --user flag.
See issue #36 were this came up.
* The use of brother_ql_{create,print,debug,analyze,info}
is now considered deprecated.
* Furthermore: wording on brother_ql_web improved
The code previously found in the function
create_label() in brother_ql.brother_ql_create
now went into a new function convert() in its own module:
convert() in brother_ql.conversion
In addition, the new convert() function is now able to
put more than one pages (labels) into one instruction file.
The strings like tcp://192.168.0.23:9100 or
usb://0x04f9:0x2015 are rather 'identifiers'
than descriptors (terminology).
Users relying on the returned dictionaries of the
list_available_devices() function need to update
the key from 'string_descr' to 'identifier'.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
with pillow < 3.3.0, the call of Image.new()
in brother_ql/brother_ql_create.py line 113
would fail with the following error:
[...]
File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/brother_ql/brother_ql_create.py", line 113, in create_label
new_im = Image.new(im.mode, (device_pixel_width, im.size[1]), (255,)*len(im.mode))
File "/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 2050, in new
return Image()._new(core.fill(mode, size, color))
TypeError: an integer is required (got type tuple)
