We are happy to announce the SimpleITK 0.8.0 Release.

SimpleITK is a simplified layer built on top of ITK, intended to facilitate its use in rapid prototyping, education and interpreted languages. SimpleITK provide binaries for several wrapped languages to enable users to rapidly get started using ITK. 

Information on how to get started and download the binaries:

For Python upgrading can be as easy as running:
 $ easy_install -U SimpleITK

Improvements:
* Support for events and command call-backs. More information can be found here: http://www.itk.org/SimpleITKDoxygen/html/CommandPage.html
** Includes lambdas for Python, and derived delegate classes for CSharp, Java, Ruby and Python.
* Support for compiling OSX Mavericks, by enabling C+11 automatically.
* Improved support for C++11
* Improved support for setting dimensional vector parameters as scalars in the OOP interface
* Improved ProcessObject base class features in OOP interface
* Swig 2.0.12
* Wrapping for R will automatically be enabled if detected due to increased stability with SWIG update.
