On behalf of the Insight Toolkit Community, we are happy to announce
the release of ITK 4.5.2. This is a patch release that addresses
critical issues. The 4.5.2 release fixes building again a system
libtiff for versions 4.0.0-4.0.2, which is common on many Linux
distributions, a number of wrapping issues, Windows support for large
TIFF files, writing of GDCM dicom series z-spacing, SCIFIO builds on
MacOS, and a bug in the ExpectationMaximiationMixtureModelEstimator as
well as a other fixes. For the full list of updates, please see the
change log below. Congratulations and thanks to everyone who
contributed to this release. Questions and comments are welcome on the
ITK mailing lists.

The next feature release of 4.6.0 is scheduled for June.
