Development of the original project, known as PIL, was discontinued in 2011.[3] Subsequently, a successor project named Pillow forked the PIL repository and added Python 3.x support.[4] This fork has been adopted as a replacement for the original PIL in Linux distributions including Debian[5] and Ubuntu (since 13.04).[6]
