[Insight-users] How to find newly integrated concepts in ITK since 2006

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Oliver,

The list of new classes added at every release
is still posted to the Wiki.

For example:
http://www.itk.org/Wiki/ITK_Release_3.16

This list is generated automatically by a script
that we run at every release.  The script actually
queries the CVS repository with a user provided
pair of dates.

You will find this script in the binary directory
of your ITK build, under the name:

                      NewSince.csh

If you call this script with two dates as arguments
you will see the list of classed that were added to
ITK during that period of time.

If you are looking for the full list of classes added
after the publication of the ITK Software Guide,
you could use September 2005 as the initial date.

Contributions to ITK will not be found in the MIDAS
Journal, you will find them in the Insight Journal.

In principle, all classes added to ITK since 2007
have been submitted as papers to the Insight Journal.
This process is described in the following Wiki page

http://www.itk.org/Wiki/ITK_Procedure_for_Contributing_New_Classes_and_Algorithms


Regarding a concept-base, structured way of searching
for new methods to ITK, this is something that we are
missing at this point, and we will appreciate any suggestions
on how to create such search service.

I would think that a combination of the script above,
with the "Modules" entry of the Doxygen pages could
provide the necessary information.


 Please let us know if you have any suggestions
on how to make this available.


     Thanks


          Luis

Only with the most relevant concepts of the publications since 2006. That would be sufficinet! The SoftwareGuide is well structured and I think the choice of "perspective" from ITK for many users.
