2 * python/setup.py : bug fix concerning install under windows
4 * gdcm.dsw : bug fix concerning path for libraries for python !!!
6 2003-02-13 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
7 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic : remove double spaces !!!
8 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx : bug fix concerning windows compiler
9 * python/gdcmPython/win32/gdcmpycomplet.dsp : bug fix concerning paths
12 2003-01-28 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
13 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx added a post header parsing AddAndDefaultElements
15 * src/gdcm.h clean up of JPR spurious comments.
17 2003-01-17 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
18 * python/distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py now properly collects the
19 shadow classes generated by "swig -c++" (gdcm.py in our case)
20 when using "python setup.py install".
21 * python/gdcmPython/__init__.py imports gdcm.py and only manually
22 reexports the working classes.
23 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx all the try/catch/throw calls were replaced
24 by the classical C errno scheme. This is to prevent an obscure
25 behavior of the python wrappers when importing wxPython.wx prior
26 to gdcmPython (which ended up in an abort call). An illustration
27 of this oddity can be found in the Test/ExceptionAndPython
28 subdir (see the README file). This problem probably due to
29 an combination of g++ and dynamic loading.
30 * added Test/ExceptionAndPython (see above)
32 2003-01-17 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
33 * Changed the layout of the python part to avoid bloating main
34 directory with setup.py, distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py, MANIFEST.in
35 i.e. the distutils arsenal. All the python related stuff is
36 again in a python subdir, but the package itself is now in
38 * setup.py was cleaned up:
39 - pythonIncludePath removed
40 - python setup.py bdist target is now functional.
41 * gdcmPython/__init__.py doesn't export FileName any more (to avoid
42 collision with other packages). gdcmPython/demo/*.py changed
44 2003-01-15 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
45 * python subdir moved to gdcmPython (preparation of distutils packaging).
46 * gdcmPython/setup.py and distutilsSwigCPlusPlus.py added. The
47 distutils installer is operational.
48 * - gdcmPython/__init__.py now properly loads the swig generated
49 shadow classes (from gdcm.py).
50 - gdcmPython/demo/*.py changed to import the package gdcmPython
51 instead of gdcmPython/demo/load.py.
52 - gdcmPython/testSuite.py changed to import the package gdcmPython.
55 2002-12-16 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
56 * src/gdcm.h, src/gdcmHeader.cxx: added GetPubTagNames() resp.
57 GetPubTagNamesByCategory() to gdcmHeader that return a list of the
58 entries within the associated public Dicom dictionary resp. the same
59 information but sorted by the fourth field (PAT, IMG, DIR) of the
61 - Dicts/dicomV3.dic Entries which had and unspecified fourth field
62 are now in the "???" group.
63 - python/gdcm.i changed accordingly,
64 - python/demo/printGroupedPublicDict.py added, that gives an example
65 of the above new functionalities in Python.
67 2002-12-11 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
68 * src/gdcm.h, gdcmHeader.cxx:
69 - historic references to glib's g_malloc and g_free (#defined)
70 were definitively removed.
71 - gdcm.h: cosmetic changes (part of comments moved to Doc/requirements)
72 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx:
73 - GetElement(guint32, guint32) renamed to GetElementByNumber.
74 - GetElValue(guint32, guint32) renamed to GetElValueByNumber.
75 - GetElValue(string) renamed to GetElValueByName.
76 - Added GetElementByName(string).
77 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx: added
78 - GetPubElValRepByNumber(guint16, guint16)
79 - GetPubElValRepByName(string)
80 - GetShaElValRepByNumber(guint16, guint16)
81 - GetShaElValRepByName(string)
82 - GetShaElValByNumber(guint16, guint16)
83 - GetShaElValRepByName(string)
84 - GetElValRepByNumber(guint16, guint16)
85 - GetElValRepByName(string)
86 - GetElValByNumber(guint16, guint16)
87 - GetElValRepByName(string)
88 * Doc/requirements.txt added.
90 2002-12-9 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
91 * Test/Makefile building now depends on the one of libgdcm.so
92 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx and gdcm.h are now OB (undefined length encoded
93 pixel data) aware which enables finding the address (offset) of
94 the pixel data of JPEG encoded DICOM files. This leaves only a single
95 file in the testSuite whose pixel data address (offset) is unknown.
96 * python/testSuite.py changed accordingly.
98 2002-12-6 Christophe Odet + Hugues Benoit-Cattin + Eric.Boix
99 * VC++ has some strong limitations when working with the STL, as stated
100 in http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q168/9/58.ASP :
101 "Also note that some STL containers (map, set, queue, list, deque)
102 cannot be exported. [...]
103 Some STL classes contain nested classes. These classes can not
105 This is caused by a designed limitation that once a template
106 class is instantiated, it can not be re-instantiated and
108 Since our usage of map<> is ubiquitous in gdcm, this "designed
109 limitation" of VC++ is a pitfall.
110 Hence the Python wrappers of gdcm cannot be incrementally linked
111 against the c++ dynamic library. The dirty but only workaround is
112 to forget about incremental link of dynamic libraries and to generate
113 the Python wrappers library with the inclusions of the underlying C++
115 The following modifications concern this matter on Win32/VC++:
116 - wrapping python correct with standalone wrapped dll (don't use separate
117 dll under windows !!!!)
118 - python21_d debug mode enabled (ask Frog how to use it :-)
119 - NO problem with having an STL member of class for example string in C++
120 WITH THE RESTRICTION OF FORGETING ABOUT INCREMENTAL LINK.
121 - Python test of dcmlib in Python is ok under windows on a large set
123 * removed glib references
124 * typedef's inserted in gdcm.i for correct swig type management
126 2002-11-27 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
127 * python/demo/*.py load.py extracted from test.py. Added explore.py
128 that only displays required tags and testAll.py that parses all
129 the files of the testsuite without using unittest.
130 * python/testSuite.py other additional test on new files added.
131 * Data/* new test files added accordingly to the testSuite.
132 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx avoid overwriting of the dictionary when
133 the vr in the file differs from the one of the dictionary.
135 2002-11-20 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
136 * src/gdcm.h and gdcmHeader.cxx gdcm no longer loads all the elements
137 values, but limits itself to values which are below a user specified
138 size (by default 1024 bytes).
139 * python/gdcm.i : elements not loaded (because their size is above the
140 user specified treshold) are exported with their TagKey as key of the
141 python dictionary. This enables the testsuite to make some checks
142 on the unloaded elements (since we have their offset and size).
143 * python/testSuite.py
144 - now tests for the existence and proper value of the pixel data
145 - two new examples added.
146 * Data/gdcm-MR-SIEMENS-16.acr[12] added.
148 2002-11-18 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
149 * src/gdcm.h and gdcmHeader.cxx are now "Big Endian transfer syntax"
150 aware. See the strategy comments in gdcmHeader::FindeLength().
151 * Test/test.cxx now accepts a filename as first argument.
152 * Data/US-PAL-8-10x-echo.dcm and US-RGB-8-epicard.dcm added.
153 * python/testSuite.py changed to integrate test on above files.
155 2002-11-15 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
156 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic removed all the trailing (RET) when the
158 * python/testSuite.py more tests added.
160 2002-11-14 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
161 * python/testSuite.py unittest test suite added (uses Data)
162 * Data/* dcm and acr files for the test suite.
163 * glib dependance removed from un*x version. We now use ISO C99
164 7.18 Integer types (see stdint.h)
165 - python/Makefile, src/Makefile src/gdcm.h
166 * src/ when an explicit vr (like dicom files) suddenly poped an
167 implicit element we use to mark the underlying DictEntry of the
168 concerned ElValue with "Implicit". This strategy was damageable
169 too the public or provite dictionaries, since some of their vr
170 would be changed. Since Header::FindLength heavily relies on the
171 detection by Header::FindVR of falsely explicit elements, I
172 added an extra ImplicitVr member to ElValue (boolean).
173 The rest of the changes we the necessary adaptations.
175 2002-11-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
176 * src/gdcmHeader::FindLength bug fix when trapping falsely explicit
178 * src/gdcmHeader::FindVR: hard way fix of falsely explicit vr files.
180 2002-11-8 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
181 * Adaptation for porting to VC++:
183 o forced to use std namespace (for string to be known)
184 o all class use __declspec export style on WIN32
185 - src/gdcmUtil.cxx new Exit method that wraps the exit call
186 (in stdlib.h on Win32 but in std:: for gcc)
187 * src/gdcmDictSet::SetDictPath adds a trailing / to environement
188 variable GDCM_DICT_PATH.
189 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx verbose comments made discrete.
191 2002-11-7 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
192 * python/gdcm.i: added a typemap that converts a C++ hashing table
193 to native Python dictionary.
194 * python/demo/test.py:
195 - now uses the native dictionary for exploration of gdcmHeader.
196 - takes an optional filename argument (the file to parse).
197 * src/gdcm.h and gdcmHeader.cxx: gdcmHeader now has an accessor on
198 PubElVals hashing table.
199 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic removed error prone trailing spaces.
201 2002-11-6 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
202 * Python wrapping process moved away from src/Makefile to
203 newly created python/Makefile (as well as gdcm.i)
204 * python/demo/test.py (that mirrors Test/test.cxx) is effective.
205 * src/gdcmHeader::FindLength only looks for current vr when necessary.
206 * src/gdcmDictSet.cxx: the dictionnaries directory path is now imported
207 from the environement variable GDCM_DICT_PATH (when existing).
208 * src/gdcmDict::GetTag bug fix.
210 2002-10-31 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
211 * Straightforward temporary fixes for swig to build the python wrappers.
212 src/Makefile now has a python working entry [by working we mean
213 that we can import de shadow classes without errors].
215 2002-10-29 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
216 * hashtest.cxx removed (since allready in Test)
217 * src/gdcmlib.h renamed to src/gdcm.h
218 * src/dcm.i renamed to src/gdcm.i
219 * src/Makefile prepared for python wrapping
221 2002-10-29 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
222 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx :
223 - Parsing of header is now separated from loading of element values
224 (see gdcmHeader::LoadElements).
225 - general clean up of hopefully all file access (creation of
226 ReadInt16 and ReadInt32)
228 2002-10-22 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
229 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx :
230 - RecupLgr renamed to FindLength and cut off with new IsAnInteger
232 - SetLgrElem renamed to SetLength
233 - GetLgrElem renamed to GetLength
234 - ~gdcmHeader() made virtual to pesky warning messages at compile.
235 * src/gdcmElValSet.cxx fixed both GetElValue methods
236 * Dicts/dicomV3.dic falacious entry [7fe0 0010 OT PXL Pixel Data]
237 due to IdoDude was cleaned out.
239 2002-10-21 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
240 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx RecupLgr split in FindVR and RecupLgr. FindVR
241 concentrates on finding the value representation (when it exists).
242 RecupLgr now only finds the element value length, and it avoids
243 returning the unecessary skL (skipped length).
244 Also, offsetCourant was simply removed (with taille_fich) since
245 it was redundant with the File position internals (by using
246 ftell and fseek). This also made skL (see above in RecupLgr) usage
248 * src/gdcmHeaderIdo.cxx src/gdcmIdo.h added. Those files concentrate
249 on the libido specificities which are handled through class
251 * Test/implicit_vr.dcm dicom v3 in implicit value representation
254 2002-10-17 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
255 * Truckload of changes. Parsing of header is barely functional
256 (see Test/test) with the standard dictionary (see Dicts/dicomV3.dic).
258 2002-10-10 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
259 * src/gdcmHeader.cxx many addons of low level methods
261 2002-10-07 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
262 * src/gdcmHeader now contains_IdDcmCheckSwap, _IdDcmRecupLgr,
265 2002-09-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
266 * This corresponds to all the changes decided at the meeting of
267 May 23 2002. Needless to say we are running late...
