[Insight-developers] Announcement: ITK 4.0 being ported to CMake

[Daniel Blezek]

Dear ITK developers,

  Fresh on the heels of CMake¹s switch to RCCS
(http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2010-April/036231.html), I¹m happy to
announce the upcoming roadmap for ITK 4.0.  Because the CMake configuration
language has proved itself to be wildly capable of supporting any and all
development platforms running on every conceivable device, the ITK
development team has unanimously decided to port ITK to the CMake language
for release as ITK 4.0.

  The decision was greeted with wild enthusiasm by longtime ITK developers.
It a tweet, one developer commented ³The CMake language has proved itself
over and over as a great language for high performance medical imaging,
about time we moved off of C++!².

  The port from C++ to CMake will occur in a one day marathon of coding,
effective today.

Cheers,
-dan
