[ITK] [ANNOUNCE] ITK 4.7.1 has been released!

[Matt McCormick]

On behalf of the Insight Toolkit Community, we are happy to announce the
release of ITK 4.7.1!

This is a patch release that addresses critical issues, regressions,
important documentation, and compiler support. The 4.7.1 release fixes
improves Visual Studio support, addresses Python wrapping runtime warnings,
includes fixes for the ITK Software Guide, and addresses a few
miscellaneous bugs.

Changes were added to improve support for Visual Studio 2013, the
ITKVtkGlue module with Visual Studio, and for the upcoming Visual Studio
2015 release. Visual Studio 2013 (Professional and Community Editions)
generated faulty code when compiled for Intel Win64 with SSE2 instructions
in Release mode and/or when ITK_USE_64BITS_IDS was ON (Microsoft Visual
Studio Bug ID 1060166
<http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedbackdetail/view/1060166>and
1093610
<http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedbackdetail/view/1093610>).
Workarounds were made to ITK’s code and the issues were reported to
upstream Visual Studio, who have addressed the bugs in Visual Studio 2015.

Common WrapITK Python runtime warnings have all been addressed.

Fixes and style changes were made for the hardcopy of the The ITK Software
Guide, which is now available at:

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 4.8.0 is scheduled for June.


Enjoy ITK!
