Dear all,

we are proud to announce that OTB 4.2.0 codename "The answer to life the
universe and everything" and Monteverdi2 0.8 have been released!


The 4.2 is a major milestone, among the novelties of this release, one can
find :

   - A major *speed-up in Haralick textures* calculation, which may be 10
   times faster in some cases,
   - An *enhancement of the optical calibration framework*, now allowing
   calibration parameters to be either read from metadata or fully set by
   hand. One can now calibrate images even when OTB does not support or find
   the metadata. This release includes as well major improvement of
   atmospheric corrections for Pleiades images,
   - RPC coefficients for sensor modeling can now be read and written
   from/to* GeoTIFF RPC tags*,
   - *JPEG2000* images can now be read using a *Gdal driver* (OpenJPEG,
   Kakadu, ECW) if available,
   - Numerous bugfixes in code and docs from community after the last
   release 4.0.

On *Monteverdi2* side :

   - The *rendering engine has been changed to use Ice
   <http://youtu.be/DR8l-0WajTw>*, which allows for better rendering
   performances and fancy visualization stuff,
   - The data manager now allows to *create and manage groups of data* to
   organize them,
   - Numerous bugfixes.
