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

DGtal 0.8

New Features / Critical Changes

General
- This Changelog has been ported to MarkDown (David Coeurjolly, #846)
- The DGtal main website is now http://dgtal.org
Global refactoring of base functors (David Coeurjolly, #861)
- BasicFunctor functors have been moved to functors:: namespace.
- DefaultFunctor has been renamed functors::Identity.
- xxxFunctor have been renamed to xxx.
Moving graph, topology, geometry/estimation concepts into namespace concepts::, also moving some functors into namespace functors:: (Jacques-Olivier Lachaud, #912).
DEC Package
- DGtal 0.8 contains the first release of the Discrete Exterior Calculus Package. DEC provides an easy and efficient way to describe linear operator over various structure. Basic operators, such as Hodge duality operator or exterior derivative, can be combined to create classical vector analysis operator such as gradient, curl and divergence. (Pierre Gueth, #877)
Geometry Package
- Add digital nD Voronoi Covariance Measure support, as well as digital geometric estimators based on it. Add tests and examples of feature detection with VCM. (Jacques-Olivier Lachaud, #803)
- Add Integral Invariant estimators so that they meet the concept of surface local estimator. Add geometric functors to define easily all the geometric estimators that can be built from the volume and coariance matrix. Previous estimators (IntegralInvariantMeanCurvatureEstimator and IntegralInvariantGaussianCurvatureEstimator) are removed. Please use the new ones instead. (Jeremy Levallois, Jacques-Olivier Lachaud, #803 #856 #893)
- Various geometric predicates are now available in order to test the orientation of three points in the planes. Most classes are template classes parametrized by a type for the points (or its coordinates) and an integral type for the computations. They always return an exact value (or sign), provided that the integral type used for the computations is well chosen with respect to the coordinates of the points. Some implementations do not increase the size of the input integers during the computations. (Tristan Roussillon, #755)
- Logarithmic construction of an arithmetical DSS of minimal parameters from a bounding DSL and two end points (ctor of ArithmeticalDSS) (Tristan Roussillon, #819)

The "boost program option library" dependency was removed.
DGtal needs boost >= 1.46.
Thanks to new compiler warning option (-Wdocumentation), the doxygen documentation has been considerably improved.

Base Package

Complete rewriting of Clone, Alias and ConstAlias classes. Parameter passing is now documented with a standardized method to determine parameters unambiguously. Associated classed CowPtr, CountedPtrOrPtr and CountedConstPtrOrConstPtr are now used in conjunction with the previous classes.
Few improvments in Clock and Trace base classes.

Kernel Package

Two initialisation methods (initRemoveOneDim and initAddOneDim) for the Projector Functor from the BasicPointFunctors class in order to simplify the slice images (with example and test in 2D slice image extraction from 3D volume file).
New basic functors:
SliceRotator2D: to rotate 2D Slice images from 3D volume.
Point2DEmbedderIn3D: a simple functor to embed in 3d a 2d points (useful to extract 2D image from 3D volume).
Sets have been updated to own their domain with a copy-on-write pointer, in order to avoid some inconsistencies.

Topology Package

Fixing bugs in Object::isSimple for some digital topologies. Speed of Object::isSimple has been improved. Homotopic thinning is much faster (even without a precomputed simplicity table).
Objects have been updated to use Clone services.

Geometry Package

New classes to deal with arithmetical digital straight segments. Now the representation of the primitives and their recognition along a discrete structure are separated. The unique class ArithmeticalDSS, which was a segment computer, has been replaced by mainly three classes: ArithmeticalDSL, ArithmeticalDSS and ArithmeticalDSSComputer. This is described in a doc page of the geometry package. Note that Backward/Forward suffixes have been renamed into Back/Front. Moreover, get prefixes for data members accessors have been removed.
Generic adapter to transform a metric (model of CMetric) with monotonic (see doc) properties to a separable metric (model of CSeparableMetric) which can be used in VoronoiMap/DistanceTransformation algorithms.

Math Package

add Histogram class and CBinner concept.
add math concepts diagram.

=== DGtal 0.5 === Posted on May, 9th, 2012 by David Coeurjolly

Many changes have been pushed to this release with a lot of nice tools. Before going into details component by component, we would like to focus on a couple of new cool features:

new arithmetic package (fractions, models of fraction, Stern-Brocot, continued fraction,...)
new nD DigitalSurface model (collections of (n-1) topological cells with many tools/utilities to track surface elements)
update of the build system to make easier the use of DGtal in your projects.
DGtal and DGtalTools
many bugfixes..

Overall Project
- In previous DGtal releases, tools were given in the source "tools/" folder. In this release, we have chosen to move the tools to another GitHub project (http:/DGtal-team/DGtalTools) with a specific development process. Please have a look to this project to get nice tools built upon the DGtal library.
- cmake scripts and DGtalConfig have been widely updated to make easier the use of the library in your own code
- We are debugging both the code and the scripts to make it compile on windows. We still have couple of issues but most of DGtal compiles.
- Again, efforts have been done on the documentation.
Package Topology:

Creation of the graph concept (see Doxygen documentation)
Graph tools have been added: breadth first visitor for any model of graph
Creation of high-level classes to represent several kinds of digital surfaces. Surfaces are n-1 dimensional objetcs and may be open or closed. There are several models of digital surface containers: boundary of a set of points, explicit set of surfels, boundary of a digital object defined by a predicate, frontier between two regions, light containers that are discovered on traversal but not stored explicitly, etc.
All these digital surfaces can be manipulated through the same object (DigitalSurface), whichever the container.
DigitalSurface is a model of a graph whose vertices are the surfels and whose arcs are the connections between surfels.
Definition of umbrellas over digital surfaces, that forms faces on the surface graph.
In 3D, digital surface form combinatorial 2-manifolds with boundary
Digital surface can be exported in OFF format
Several examples using digital surfaces are provided, like extracting isosurfaces from images or volume files defining surfaces in labelled images.

Package Algebraic (new package)

Definition of n-variate polynomial as a one-dimensional polynomial whose coefficients are n-1-variate polynomials. Coefficient ring and dimension are templated.
Creation of a reader that can transform a string representation of multivariate polynomial into such polynomial object. Use boost::spirit.
Example using package Topology to extract and display implicit polynomial surfaces in 3D.

Package Arithmetic (new package)

Standard arithmetic computations are provided: greatest common divisor, Bézout vectors, continued fractions, convergent.
Several representations of irreducible fractions are provided. They are based on the Stern-Brocot tree structure. With these fractions, amortized constant time operations are provided for computing reduced fractions.
An implementation of patterns and subpatterns is provided, based on the irreducible fractions.
A representation of digital standard line in the first quadrant is provided, as well as fast algorithms to recognize digital straight subsegments.

Package Image
- Complete refactoring of Images and ImageContainers (more consistent design)
- Documentation added
- Graph of concepts added in the documentation
Package Geometry
- New SegmentComputer (a.k.a. geometrical primitives to use for recognition, curve decomposition,...) : ArithDSS3D (3D DSS), DCA (Digital Circular Arcs), CombinatorialDSSS, ...
