On behalf of the Insight Toolkit Community, we are happy to announce
the release of ITK 4.6.1!

This is a patch release that addresses critical issues. The 4.6.1
release fixes DICOM, MetaIO, TIFF, and PNG IO issues, 32-bit WrapITK
build errors, Python wrapping warnings, CMake configuration with
COMPONENTS, performance and memory consumption of the ITKv4
implementation of the mutual information matching metric, and a many
other issues.

Congratulations and thanks to everyone who contributed to this
release. We are particularly grateful for the collaborations with the
3D Slicer, Debian, GDCM, and MINC communities to address these issues.
Questions and comments are welcome on the ITK mailing lists.

The next feature release of 4.6.0 is scheduled for June.


Enjoy ITK!
