New Features

Some study configuration settings migrated to the database from the $profile/prod file : #82, aces/Loris#2649, dicom-archive-tools#45. As of Loris 18.0, these settings can be accessed via Configuration module in the front-end (Admin menu) under the 'Imaging Pipeline' section.
The sample wrapper script deletemincsqlwrapper.pl (released in 17.0: #172) now has the option to re-insert deleted MINC files (#193). This script is also moved to a newly created directory example_scripts within the tools/ directory with a README for more details about the script functionality.

Updated wiki for Imaging setup
Bug fix in the number of MINCs inserted when using minc_deletion.pl : #180, #185, #189
Better DICOM file validation #178 and more elaborate exclusion list when validating DICOM files #186, dicom-archive-#46

When updating your Loris-MRI code to the release branch, ensure your dicom-archive-tools code is updated at the same time.
After applying the Loris release patch, migrate settings from your prod file (Section II) to the database Config table. Run the new tools/ProdToConfig.pl script (once only) to perform this migration, check script/terminal output messages and verify the Config table settings afterwards.
IMPORTANT: See #182 for complete instructions; note additional changes needed to the prod:get_DTI_Site_CandID_Visit routine. Also note that the $bin_dir setting is not migrated from the prod file to avoid duplication (since its value should already match the database ConfigSetting Loris-MRI code).
