DGtal 1.1

New Features / Critical Changes

• Project

  • For this release, we have cleaned up the git history (using bfg), removing old deprecated files or commit errors. For a complete description, please follow the discussion of Issue #1477. If you are doing a clean git clone of the project, or use the release archive, everything should be fine. If you have branches on the release 1.1beta, you would need to reset your current working copy. For instance, if you have cloned the DGtal-team/DGtal repository, just reset your master branch using:

    git fetch origin
    git reset --hard origin/master
    

    If you have cloned a fork of DGtal-team/DGtal (i.e. the origin remote correspond to your fork and not the DGtal-team one), Fetch the DGtal-team remote (nammed DGtal here):

    git fetch DGtal
    git reset --hard DGtal/master
    

    For advanced developers If there are some branches out there you want to "update" to the new history: First go to unmerged branch and copy the SHA of the commits you want to get. Or, if they are consecutive, copy the oldest and newest SHA.

    git checkout master #Updated to new history
    git checkout -b myOpenPR_after_new_history
    git cherry-pick oldestSha^..newestSha

New features:

User-guide added (based on doxygen system) Kernel: new concepts and controls to enhance the Interger type management, new iterators (Range/SubRange) on HyperRectDomains. Topology: interpixel model added (cells, boundary tracking mechanisms,…) Geometry 2D: 2D curve primitive decomposition, tangential cover, convexity/concavity decomposition. Geometry nD: reverse Euclidean distance transformation Visualisation: stream mechanism to visualize 3D DGtal objects with libQGLViewer (optional) Shape generator factory added in nD

BugFixes, enhancements:

Many bugs have been fixed for this release. cmake DGtal dependency checking process is more stable now

Known problems:

For technical reasons, we haven’t be able to verify that this release also compile on Windows Visual Studio systems (see ticket #87). A new release will fix this problem as soon as possible.
