Description Jasper St. Pierre (not reading bugmail) 2012-07-25 11:08:53 UTC 
Users of extensions.gnome.org have been experiencing issues uploading interlaced PNG files; the version of PIL installed on those servers does not support reading interlaced PNG files.

As such, any page with a thumbnail created from an interlaced PNG file will crash, as our thumbnail generator (sorl.thumbnail) uses PIL to do the downscaling of the images. As it's third-party vendor code, it's impossible to "wrap" it, and the third-party code does not wrap usage of PIL in a try/except to catch the IOError.

Newer versions of PIL support interlaced PNG files.

Removed server-side thumbnail scaling, moving it client-side instead.
