[Bradley Lowekamp]

Hello,

We are happy to announce SimpleITK 0.8 Release Candidate 1.

Please checkout the binaries and provide feedback for issue, before the forth coming release.

Improvements:
* Support for events and command call-backs. More information can be found here: http://www.itk.org/SimpleITKDoxygen/html/CommandPage.html
** Includes lambdas for Python, and derived delegate classes for CSharp, Java, Ruby and Python.
* Support for OSX Mavericks, by enabling C+11 automatically.
* Improved support for C++11
* Improved support for setting dimensional vector parameters as scalars in the OOP interface
* Improved ProcessObject base class features in OOP interface
* Swig 2.0.12
* Wrapping for R will automatically be enabled if detected due to increased stability with SWIG update.
* Improved printing of enum types.
* Automatically enabling >4GB image on windows.
* Newly wrapped filters BinShrinkImageFilter, CyclicShiftImageFilter, DiscreteGaussianDerivativeImageFilter, LabelVotingImageFilter, and WarpImageFilter.
* ITK 4.5.1

Compatibility:
*A issue is that the operator "~" was incorrectly implemented as a logical not. This has been corrected to be a bitwise not operator for images.
* The KernelEnum types as object member has been deprecated.
** In-favor of namespace enum: http://www.itk.org/SimpleITKDoxygen/html/namespaceitk_1_1simple.html#a38998f2c7b469b1ad8e337a0c6c0697b


Binary distribution for many platforms and languages are available for downloading:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/simpleitk/files/SimpleITK/0.8rc1/

To installed in Python the correct egg needs to be manually downloaded for Source Forge.

The binaries of Linux are now compiled on Redhat 6 instead of Ubuntu 12.04 for improved compatibility (Debian Wheezy). Currently the x86_64 binaries are available, the i686 are forth coming.

The release candidate is available as a tag in the git repository or a source bundle on SourceForge. To obtain the source code via git:

git clone  http://itk.org/SimpleITK.git
cd SimpleITK
git checkout -q --detach v0.8rc1
