Kent,

Your recent changes to itkIOCommon.h to deprecate ITK_Orientation violate our backward compatibility policy. User programs that access that variable will no longer compile.

For example, the SNAP application in InsightApplications will not compile with these changes.

See
http://www.insightsoftwareconsortium.org/wiki/index.php/Administration-BackwardCompatibility

In particular,

http://www.insightsoftwareconsortium.org/wiki/images/4/46/APIChangePolicy.pdf

Please revert the changes until we can find a solution that maintains backward compatibility.

Thanks,

Bill
