[MINC-users] MINC 2.0.15

[Andrew Janke]

Hi all,

After a lot of work by many MINC 2.0.15 is now ready for release. For
now it is only
in source form. Binary packages will follow shortly.

Get it here:

   http://packages.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/tgz/minc-2.0.15.tar.gz

The NEWS file summarises the changes as follows:

                New in Release 2.0.15
        ---------------------
* MINC2 is now built by default (or disabled with --diable-minc2).
* Began to aggregate and update all docs for a clean(er) 2.1 release
* Added cubic interpoation in mincresample for x-y slices
* Fixed a seg-fault with null history strings
* Changed all global variables to static to avoid linking problems
   with other libraries (eg: libz)
* new version of mincedit/mincheader in sh instead of csh
* Many fixes to remove compile warnings
* removed all rcsid's in files given that we have a -version argument
* Added preservation of "patient name" in nii2mnc (where patient name
   is the descriptor field in a nifti/analyze file)
* xfmconcat now records history in the output file
* removed all fortran build bits. This code was both out of date and
   not ever built
* removed get_image_offset as with a MINC2 file this would not work
   as it was it wouldn't work that well with MINC1 let along MINC2
* changed --enable-minc2 to --disable-minc2 in configure.ac
   (come what may....)

Take special note that MINC2 (with HDF5 support) is now built by default.
