From changelog:

[0.13.0 - 2023-08-09]
- Minimum required `Pillow` version increased from `8.4.0` to `9.1.1`

Supported only Pillow's that are maximum one year old to not spend much effort on that and spend time on adding new features provided by libheif.

Thank you! I downloaded pillow_simd 9.5.0 from github and installed. Now works perfectly.

Maybe have pillow_heif throw a warning if wrong Pillow version is installed?

Maybe have pillow_heif throw a warning if wrong Pillow version is installed?

during install it is handled by pip:

pillow_heif/setup.cfg

Lines 36 to 40 in 460a1b5

	python_requires = >=3.8
	zip_safe = False
	packages = find:
	install_requires =
	pillow>=9.2.0

Now works perfectly.

glad to hear it, if something else will rise, feel free to create issue/discussion :)
