This is a release of the MIA library and command line tools.
Compilation and test suit has been run on

  * Debian unstable g++-5.2.1 (x86_64 + x86), 
  * Gentoo g++-4.9.3 (x86_64).

For an article descibing the software see

  Ubuntu users:

Pre-build packages are provided for Ubuntu precise (14.04) in a PPA:
  ppa:gert-die/mia-trusty

  Debian users:

Pre-build packages will be made available in the Debian official repositories 
thanks to the debian-med project: http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/

  MS Windows users:

Your best bet is to get the software installed via cygwin or MinGW, the major problem here is 
that the Intel Threading Building Blocks  and IT++ need to be build by hand before 
compiling MIA.

FILES:  

The files are now compressed using the XZ Utils, http://tukaani.org/xz/
Your favorite GNU/Linux distribution will most likely provide the required
packages. The documentation packages are no longer made available here 
because the are created from the source code anyway and building them is 
not very time consuming compared to building the whole library. 

In addition, the project web also provided the user reference 

  http://mia.sourceforge.net/userref/index.html

and the Doxygen programmers reference 

  http://mia.sourceforge.net/libdoc/index.html


Important changes 
=================

2.2.7 
  
   * Fix mia/3d/imagedraw tests on ARMHF architecture 

2.2.6

  * Correct pkg-config files
  * Use unsigned int in fifof label
 

2.2.4/2.2.5 
   
  New features:

  * programs for 
      - cmeans on sparse input data
      - combining an abitrary number of images with an comutative operation
      - estimating a bounding box around the data in an image
      - applying a deformabale model to a mesh
      - evaluating statistics in a masked area of an 3d image
      
  * mesh filters
      - remove triangles based on normal direction
      - select largest connected mesh part
      - add a scale value taken from a 3D image to each vertex

  * image filters
      - 3D labelmap filter 
      - 3D re-orientation filter re-enabled
      - 2D maxflow/mincut segmentation filter 
      - 2D sobel filter
  * Cost function
      - 2D 2d gradient normalized cross correlation
  * Clases: 
      - 3D to image drawtool
      - bounded parameter type that replaces ranged parameter 
      - cmeans class with different initializers given by plug-ins 

  * enable use of parallel gzip/xz in IO if available 

  * Cleanups
      - remove eigen3 from public interface 
      - remove libxml++ from public interface (Closes: #178)
      - remove boost/filesystem from public interface (Closes: #177)
      
  * remove time stamp from man pages for reproducible builds
  * Lots of minor changes and fixes (see git log for details) 

2.2.3
-----

  * Experimental support for nipype
  * Install support files for document creation 

2.2.2
-----

  * Correct compilation with clang++
  * reduce VTK library dependencies 
  * throw exception if TIFF loading fails instead of calling exit 

2.2.1
-----

  * Fix problems reported by https://scan.coverity.com/projects/1013

2.2.0
-----

(For a detailed list see ChangeLog in the source package.) 

  * Major ABI changes 
  * Add support for HDF5 and NIFTI1 IO 
  * Support for masked cost functions in voxel based image registration 
  * Use Eigen3 for  the 3D matrix eigenvalue/eigenvector evaluation
  * More C++11, minimal requirement is now g++ >= 4.7 
  * Keep track of orientations 
  * Add perfusion motion compensation programs that are specifically designed to use a global 
    reference even if the algorithm doesn't dictate this 
  * automatically set C++11 compiler flag by cmake 

2.0.13
------
