• [SIMPLEITK-476] - Check if the custom std_vector.i file for R is still needed
• [SIMPLEITK-477] - Latest R installs require a NAMESPACE file

Bug

• [SIMPLEITK-445] - `GLIBC_2.14' not found
• [SIMPLEITK-451] - The C++ Examples are not being tested.
• [SIMPLEITK-453] - CLang 5.0 OS X 10.9 std::tr1 namespace doesn't exist
• [SIMPLEITK-478] - Test Java Command Delegate
• [SIMPLEITK-480] - Automatically add -std=c++11 flag for clang 5.0 on mavericks.
• [SIMPLEITK-482] - Fix CMake configuration warning about linking to ourselves.
• [SIMPLEITK-495] - Update virtualenv version, not compatible with Ubuntu 13.10, or Debian testing
• [SIMPLEITK-496] - On Maverick with c++11 SWIG is failing with Java and std::vector<bool>
• [SIMPLEITK-507] - The Examples in the "Segmentation" sub-directory are not being run and need to be updated.
• [SIMPLEITK-508] - The Python PEP386 version should not have a '.' before the release candidate suffix.

Improvement

• [SIMPLEITK-430] - The InterpolatorEnums are print as integers, this should be strings.
• [SIMPLEITK-431] - The enums for morphology filters are local to each filter, they should be moved to common location with the sitk prefix.
• [SIMPLEITK-432] - upgrade toward ITK 4.5
• [SIMPLEITK-433] - Add Warp ImageFilter
• [SIMPLEITK-434] - Add BinShrink filter
• [SIMPLEITK-436] - Expose the hidden CMake Variable as advanced options.
• [SIMPLEITK-450] - Break compilation of LabelStatisticsImageFilter into 2 file for compilation speed.
• [SIMPLEITK-457] - Add CSharp example and test for GetBuffer methods.
• [SIMPLEITK-467] - Update super ITK build version towards 4.5.1.
• [SIMPLEITK-472] - make using 64 integers default for windows 64
• [SIMPLEITK-473] - Turn on R by default if detected.

• [SIMPLEITK-494] - Reduce time taken for lengthy tests.
• [SIMPLEITK-501] - An optional stripping of symbols needs to be done on OSX for the distributed libraries. This reduces the size of the libraries by ~100 Megabytes.
