Release 1.1

Blog Post of the release 🎉

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 0.9.1

New Features / Critical Changes

• Configuration/General
  • A CONTRIBUTING.md file has been added to describe how to contribute
    to the library. (David Coeurjolly,
    #1112)
  • DGtal requires now to have a C++11 enabled compiler (gcc>4.6,
    clang>2.9, VS14, ...). This allows us to use new C++11 features in
    DGtal core and to have more generic and reliable code. (David
    Coeurjolly, #1080)
  • DGtal core now compiles on Microsoft Windows, Visual Studio (only
    VS14 or above). Many issues have been fixed for compatibility with
    'cl' compiler. (David Coeurjolly, Jérémy Levallois,
    #1074)
  • DGtal with QGLViewer option activated now compiles on Microsoft Windows,
    Visual Studio (only VS14 or above). (Bertrand Kerautret,
    #1106)
• Base Package
  • Traits class for containers in order to probe their category at
    compile time. (Jacques-Olivier Lachaud,
    #1079)
  • Generic set operations for arbitrary containers. You may use
    overloaded operators like &, |, -, ^ on arbitrary containers (list,
    vector, unordered_set, map, etc). (Jacques-Olivier Lachaud,
    #1079)
• Geometry Package
  • Hull2DHelpers: implementation of the rotating caliper algorithm to compute
    the width (vertical/horizontal or Euclidean) of a convex hull.
    (Bertrand Kerautret, #1052)
  • MelkmanConvexHull: new reverse method to allow point insertions and convex
    hull computation on both side of a point sequence.
    (Bertrand Kerautret, #1073)
  • LogScaleProfile: new class to represent a (multi)scale profile e.g. a sequence
    of statistics on digital lengths parameterized by a grid resolution.
    (Backport of the ScaleProfile class of
    ImaGene ).
    (Bertrand Kerautret, Jacques-Olivier Lachaud
    #1075)
  • IteratorCompletion provides iterators and ranges access from a basic set of methods.
    (Roland Denis, #1029)
• Image Package
  • ArrayImageAdapter adds a read-write image adapter from any random-access iterator,
    e.g. from a C-array.

    mean variance, median) on multiple variables. (Backport of the
    Statistics class of
    ImaGene ).
    (Bertrand Kerautret, Jacques-Olivier Lachaud
    #1076)
• Topology Package
  • New class CubicalComplex and functions associated to
    it. Arbitrary cubical complexes can be represented, displayed and
    multiple operations are defined onto them: incidence, closing,
    opening, closure, star, link, interior, boundary, set operations
    and relations, as a collapse operation.
    (Jacques-Olivier Lachaud, #1079)

Changes

• Configuration
  • Types and classes in helper namespaces Z2i and Z3i for
    StdDefs.h header (2D and 3D digital geometry with
    computations on 32bit integers) are now explicitly instanciated in
    the compiled library. This reduces compilation time when such types
    are used. (David Coeurjolly,
    #1117)
• DEC Package
  • DiscreteExteriorCalculus holds both primal and dual sizes of each cell.
    Subsequent changes have been made to insertSCell.

    activated by a flag (myAutoSaveState). (Bertrand Kerautret
    #1088)
  • In the Viewer3D, the light source position is now saved in the
    QGLViewer state file (.qglviewer.xml). (Bertrand Kerautret

    Coeurjolly, #1066)
  • change the chronological order to display primitives (in the draw
    function) in order to see the cube primitive through the
    transparency of the ball primitives. (Bertrand Kerautret,
    #1081)
  • New possibility to move the light source direction using the mouse move
    in Viewer3D (with the key SHIFT+CTRL (SHIFT+CMD on mac)). The light source
    direction is now defined according the main coordinate system (no more from
    the camera center).
    (Bertrand Kerautret #1070)
  • Adding raw I/O capabilities for non integral types and signed integers.
    (Roland Denis #1084)
• Shapes Package
  • New methods to remove faces from a Mesh or to obtain the barycenter of a
    face.

    the folder ${PREFIX_PATH}/share/DGtal/html/. This fixes issue
    #1095. (David
    Coeurjolly,
    #1103)
  • Fix for swapped coordinates in TangentFromDSS2DFunctor. (Kacper
    Pluta,
