[Insight-developers] patches for 4.2.1 release

[Matt McCormick]

Hi,

Following discussion on the mailing lists and at the TCon, it looks
like the community will be best served by quickly making a patch
release, 4.2.1, within the next week or two, then continue towards a
solid 4.3.0 release that is targeted for December.

The patch release will have critical patches that are unlikely to
cause any other issues.   I will manually test the release branch on
all three platforms before tarball generation.


Current patches on the release branch are:

BUG: Fix GCC_XML and SWIG ExternalProject dependencies.
PERF: Pull expensive GetInput/GetOutput calls out of inner loops
COMP: fixing error when instatiated with image of double
COMP: WrapITK generates non-unique typedefs in FFT submodule
BUG: prevent static initialization fiasco during factory registration
PERF: remove per sample allocation, use per-thread structure

Patches to also apply to the release branch:

0487b54 BUG: Added missing include <algorithm>

Matt
