[MINC-users] MINC 2.1.00 available

[Andrew Janke]

Hi all,

MINC 2.1.00 is available here:

   http://packages.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/tgz/

Note that there are some potentially big changes in this release with
the use of HDF 1.8.x over 1.6.x, shared libraries are now also built
alongside static versions. Note that no changes to MINC analyses
should happen just compiling and linking differences.

A full list of changes (from NEWS) are below, binary packages will
follow in a week or three once this release has been tested more in
the "wild".

This release includes a few more tools also, minccmp and xfm2def.

  transformation (especially for 2-d slices) - Claude

  longer supported from now on)
* Added libtoolize/glibtoolize logic in autogen.sh (thanks Sean)

  allocation fails.
