[Kwiver-announce] MAP-Tk v0.6.0 released

[Matthew Leotta]

Following on the heels of the recent MAP-Tk v0.5.1 patch release, we have now also released v0.6.0. This is a major release of MAP-Tk that provides both new functionality and fixes over the previous v0.5.1 release. Although the API has changed significantly, we still consider MAP-Tk to be in "pre-release" and are not yet ready to increase the major version number and mark this release as v1.0.0. Additional major restructuring is planned before we release v1.0.0 with a "stable" API.  You can read about the new release here:

We’ve already started work on new features for the next release.  Coming soon is a much anticipated plugin for Ceres Solver providing a new bundle adjustment back end.  We are also further refactoring the code for tighter integration with sprokit, Kitware’s stream processing toolkit, so that we can start to make MAP-Tk run in a streaming mode.  The API will continue to be in flux until we hit v1.0.0.  We want to get the API right before releasing v1.0.0, but we will continue to make frequent stable releases in the mean time.
