The Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit (ITK), is an
open-source, cross-platform library for multidimensional image
analysis. On behalf of the Insight Toolkit community, we are proud to
announce that ITK 4.9.0 has been released!

Introduction
-----------------

Developed by an international community, ITK collects best-of-breed algorithms
for registering, segmenting, analyzing, and quantifying n-dimensional imaging
data. The high-quality library facilitates reproducible research, provides a
software resource for teaching image analysis, and is a platform for
commercial product development.

A few selected highlights for the 4.9 release include the following:

* new remote modules, such as the Cuberille module for smooth
generation of meshes from binary segmentation images, and
enhancements, such as advanced edge-preserving smoothing for the
AnisotropicDiffusionLBR module;
* the ability to build Python wrapping, including Python 3, faster
with a more standard installation;
* improved performance of itk::Image::GetPixel and operations on
itk::VariableLengthVector;
* the ability to generate a FlatStructuringElement from an image
* the ability to perform point-set registration with time-varying B-splines
* the ability to specify module dependencies as public / private /
compile / test


Congratulations and well done to the 48 contributors to this release. We would
especially like to recognize new contributors: Mikhail Isakov, Sreekanth
Arikatla, Tobias Wood, Ricardo Ortiz, Junjie Bai, Alexander Leinoff, Eugene
Prilepin, Seun Odutola, Martin Michlmayr, Betsy McPhail, Luc Hermitte,
Abhishek Tiwari, Sumedha Singla, Lucas Gandel, Alexis Girault, Max Smolens,
Shawn Waldon, Hyun Jae Kang, Adam Snyder, Isaiah Norton, Pablo
Hernandez-Cerdan, Zach Williamson, Laurentiu Nicola, and Floris Berendsen.


New in the ITK Software Guide is a chapter on how to create an ITK module.
Since a module can now be configured as a separate CMake project outside of
the ITK build tree, external module development is faster and amenable to
continuous integration testing. With an external module, Python wrapping can
easily be added to algorithms implemented in C++. For example External
modules, see the InsightSoftwareConsortium GitHub organization.

Since the Insight Applications (ITKApps) are no longer actively being
developed, and they are a considerable maintenance burden, ITKApps will no
longer be released. There are a number of other projects that provide this
functionality, like 3D Slicer and ITK-SNAP. Archived versions of some ITKApps
executables will be made available in Docker images in the future.

This release also brings support, including Python wrapping support, to the
latest compilers including Visual Studio 2015 and the soon-to-be released GCC
6.
