Outline
----------

1. Introduction
2. New Documentation
3  New Features
4. ITK Changelog
5. ITK Sphinx Examples Changelog
6. ITK Software Guide Changelog


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

The 4.6 release is a major milestone that marks the hard work of many
outstanding community members.


Among the major contributions in this release are improved Remote
Module support with a number of exciting new Remote Modules.  The
TransformToDisplacementField filter and a entire module of image noise
generation classes were migrated into the default build. A number of
new optimizers were added to the Registrationv4 framework, which also
experienced a number of performance improvements. Performance
improvements were a general theme as was improved code coverage.
Python wrapping underwent a huge cleanup.


Our documentation continues to improve with better examples, Doxygen
documentation, and guidance material.  The Software Guide was split in
anticipation of the release of two new hard copy books.


Thanks to everyone for their hard work!

Enjoy ITK!


New Documentation
-------------------------


Our documentation continues to improve.  Remote modules are now
grouped in the Doxygen Module page [1]. A number of new examples were
added to the Sphinx repository and the Wiki, which can now also be
built as Remote modules. The Software Guide was split into two books
and the ITK configure and build instructions were revised.
