The ITK 4.4.0 release candidate 1 has been tagged, and is available for
testing!  To obtain the source code,

 git clone http://itk.org/ITK.git
 cd ITK
 git checkout -q --detach v4.4rc01

For more details, please see

 http://www.itk.org/Wiki/ITK/Git

Please test the release candidate and share your experiences on the mailing
list, issues tracker, and Gerrit Code Review.  Please include the tag name when
providing feedback.

There are some known issues with this RC:

  Visual Studio may emit "possible loss of data warnings"
  Python wrapping with Visual Studio currently has build errors

These issues should be resolved before the final release.  Please help identify
any other issues by submitting an Experimental build to the dashboard with:

  ctest -D Experimental

and notifying the mailing list.  Testing your own applications against the RC is
also appreciated.


Release candidates will be tagged every week.  The final release is scheduled
for the end of the month.
