[ITK-dev] [ANNOUNCE] ITK 4.7.2 has been released!

[Matt McCormick]

On behalf of the Insight Toolkit Community, we are happy to announce
the release of ITK 4.7.2!

Release files can be downloaded from:

  http://itk.org/ITK/resources/software.html

This is a patch release that fixes critical issues, regressions,
important documentation, and compiler support. The 4.7.2 release
addresses use of the LevelSetsv4 framework with libc++, which is now
the default C++ standard library when building with MacOSX Xcode.  A
long standing convergence bug in the LBFGSB optimizer has been
resolved.  Improved support for building with VTK 6.2.0 and VTK Git
master was also added. A number of other issues were addressed -- see
the changelog below for details.

Congratulations and thanks to everyone who contributed to this
release. Questions and comments are welcome on the ITK mailing lists.
The next feature release of 4.8.0 is scheduled for the end of June,
and it will feature many exciting enhancements!


Enjoy ITK!
