The new CamiTK version 3.4.0 features improvements for the user, mainly on
image handling, which is, according to us essential in the medical field:
- Improved DICOM support (still using the C++ library of Mathieu Malaterre,
already packaged in Debian[1]). We think a good reading of DICOM images is
important.
- Support for any image position / orientation in 3D space, information read
from medical scanners[2].
- New service Frame, which allows to refer a component position relatively to
any other component, in 3D space. This feature has mainly been requested in the
medical robotic field.
Also, to increase software stability, we improved our bug solving policy, by
increasing our automatic tests number (which has an impact on the number of
tests run during the packaging task) and using
a new bug tracking system[3].
Regarding the Debian packaging process, we think this new version of CamiTK, in
addition to its new features, is more stable.
As Emmanuel said, we increased the number of test run after configuration -
compilation up to 191 (compared to less than 20 tests done in the packaging of
the 3.3.2 version).
Also, we updated the tests done by autopkgtest (debian/tests), after
installation of the package. These ones expect more information in the 3.4
version than the previous 3.3.x versions.
Finally, it took us a bit time for this last packaging, as we tested our
software in order to solve important bugs before releasing it.
We apologize if it's a bit late for integrating this new version in Jessie, but
we understand the migration process, and we'll follow your decision.
Thanks again,
Regards,
Nicolas

as far as I understood no debdiff is needed for this request.

Hi Andreas,
Sorry, but I will have to decline your request for an unblock of
camitk/3.4.0-1. Sadly, the changes between the current version of
camitk in testing and camitk/3.4.0-1 are /not/ compatible with our
freeze guidelines.
While I certainly appreciate many of the arguments (especially the
focus on more automated testing and it coming from upstream), we did set
a deadline for including arbitrary changes and your upload of
camitk/3.4.0-1 seems to have missed said deadline.
Yours truly,
~Niels
