[Insight-developers] Significant changes coming to address bug 6558

[Michel Audette]

Dear members of the Insight community,

as a follow-up to the discussion of this bug fix, we are also developing 2
sets of regression test data,

   - one that features images with an extrapolated narrow band around the
   image, which arises as a result of this pixel-centered position definition,
   and
   - the current regression data set that is backward-compatible.

The new regression data set will include an appropriate suffix to
distinguish it from the former.

As always, please feel free to comment.

Best wishes,

Michel
