Dear all,

We are pleased to announce the first *Release Candidate* of OTB *4.0*.

The major change of this release is the support of ITK 4.5 and higher
(note that previous versions of ITK are no longer supported), which was
quite a bit of work. You can now benefit from the new functionalities
offered by an up-to-date ITK. Note that though we tried our best to
limit API changes, we could not avoid some of them. You can find a
Migration Guide
<http://wiki.orfeo-toolbox.org/index.php/Migration_guide_OTBv4> about
how to migrate your code to this new API.

Another novelty brought by this work on ITK 4.x support is the ability
to build OTB against an external ITK, which saves some compilation time.

Further cleanup has been made during this work, including removing old
dependencies from OTB : Pqxx, LibLAS, Gettext and Insight Journal code.
All FLTK based code (including the old visualization library used by
Monteverdi) has been moved in Monteverdi source code, where it can be
accessed by linking against OTBVisuFLTK and OTBGuiFLTK.

Last, we of course fixed numerous bugs and added small functionalities.
For more information, please read the complete Release Notes
<http://hg.orfeo-toolbox.org/OTB/file/tip/RELEASE_NOTES.txt>.

Source tarballs are available here <http://www.orfeo-toolbox.org/packages>.

You can also obtain the source code using Mercurial:

Feel free to test the release candidate and share your experiences on
the mailing list. And if you run into a bug, please file it into
ourissues tracker <http://bugs.orfeo-toolbox.org>.

You can also help to identify other issues by submitting an Experimental
build to the dashboard with:

The final release will follow soon.
Then, the development will focus now to add a new set of functionalities
in OTB and prepare the new version of Montevedi2 based on a new and
powerful rendering mechanism.
