📋 Changed

• updated Pillow min version to 9.1+

✨ Added

• added new 4 color waveshare displays (epd1in64g, epd2in36g, epd3in0g, epd4in37g, epd7in3g). Thanks @missionfloyd

✨ Added

• `omni_epd.mock` can now set both the width and height values within the `.ini` file. Thanks @missionfloyd

🐛 Fixed

• `omni_epd.mock` device now returns a palette filter when using the color mode. Previously this returned only b/w and resulted in image processing enhancements resulting in a black and white only image, even when color was selected. Hardcoded palette based on web safe colors.
• Waveshare device `epd2in13_V2` should use the alternate clear method which requires a color parameter. Thanks @ThatIsAPseudo for pointing this out

📋 Changed

• dithering is now done with [didder](https://github.com/makeworld-the-better-one/didder) - this is a massive improvement both in scope and speed to hitherdither. Thanks @missionfloyd

🗑️ Removed

• removed `hitherdither` as a dependency

✨ Added

• added `force_palette` argument to the `virtualepd._filter()` function. Will force palette based conversion if wanted, default is False
• added additional tested displays per #63 comments
• new unit tests to make sure image processing components run without error
• support for `inky.auto` as a valid EPD device. This will auto detect Inky devices and load the correct driver. Thanks @donbing
• support for IT8951 devices, such as the WaveShare 6in display

🐛 Fixed

• calls to `Image.quantize` require an RGB or L mode Image object, convert any loaded image before applying new palettes
• when filling palette too many colors were being set (< 256), wrong length variable was being used
• fixed regression where Inky `bw` mode was causing colors to be inverted
• universal fix for Waveshare Tri-color displays as original fixes broke some displays - thanks @aaron8684

📋 Changed

• make sure Pillow and Inky packages are known working versions or above - thanks @donbing
• `bw` standardized as the consistent naming for the default black/white device mode. `black` will throw a warning, affects Inky devices - thanks @missionfloyd

✨ Added

• added `version` identifier for Waveshare devices so that V2 and V3 boards can be identified from the others

🐛 Fixed

• fixed typos in 5.65in Waveshare implementation - thanks @aaronr8684
• fixed issues with BW display on 7.5 tri-color screens - thanks @aaronr8684
