The upstream commits should have the author "GDCM Upstream".  So,

  cd ~/src/ITK
  git log --author="GDCM Upstream"

This shows that this release note item is an error -- the last time
GDCM was updated was 2015-04-29, which was included for ITK 4.8. I
have corrected the release notes.


To update GDCM, run the

  Modules/ThirdParty/GDCM/UpdateFromUpstream.sh

script.


Since GDCM 2.6 has been released, we should switch from GDCM "master"
to GDCM "release" before doing the update. This can be changed here:

Thanks,
Matt
