[Insight-users] Status of the ITK 3.18 Release

[Wagner Sales]

Hi Luis,

I'll take a deep look at this patches and the problem. I don't have a
CVS write access to ITK, and I'll ask if I have something really
useful to contribute. Anyway, maybe I'll try to start maybe a
functionality matrix relationship. But tomorrow, now I need to go home
:)

Regards,

Wagner Sales
