Hi all,

As previously discussed, we are performing a 4.2.1 patch release this
month with a 4.3.0 minor version release scheduled for December.  The
4.2.1 will contain critical patches to address build errors on new
compilers, important performance patches, and WrapITK build issues.
This will be the only pre-release announcement, and tarballs are
scheduled for Monday.  Please test and provide feedback by checking
out the "release" branch:

   git clone git://itk.org/ITK.git
   cd ITK
   git checkout -b release origin/release
