+ * Test/TestWriteSimple.cxx: fix to gdcmHeader-gdcmHeaderHelper revamping.
+ The default constructor invoked by the line
+ gdcmHeader *f1 = new gdcmHeader( header );
+ was gdcmHeader::gdcmHeader(bool) instead of the expected
+ gdcmHeader::gdcmHeader(std::string const &, bool = false, bool, bool).
+ Hence the parsing wasn't executed... See also below.
+ * src/gdcmHeader.h: the declaration of gdcmHeader::gdcmHeader(bool)
+ as explicit constructor didn't do the trick to fix the above problem.
+ Could anyone explain why ?
+ * src/gdcmBinEntry.cxx, gdcmValEntry.cxx: gdcmBinEntry::Print() now
+ properly calls gdcmValEntry::Print() (that was weed out from
+ code related to gdcmBinEntry).

+ * In order to fix memory leaks:
+ - Test/TestWriteSimple.cxx: added cleaning of free store through
+ some delete calls.
+ - src/gdcmBinEntry.cxx: fix to avoid SegFault.
+ - src/gdcmDicomDir.[cxx|h]: fixed initialisation in constructor
+ gdcmDicomDir::gdcmDicomDir(bool) [either the constructor itself
+ (through the call to ::AddDicomDirMeta()) or the destructor
+ would crash when deleting uninitialized ::metaElems].
+ - src/gdcmDictEntry.cxx: annotation of ununderstood memory leak.
+ - src/gdcmDocument.cxx:
+ -- ::~gdcmDocument() destructor now cleans up all dictionary entries
+ from dynamic stores.
+ -- ::ParseDES() misplaced deletion of temporary NewDocEntry
+ was causing memory leaks.
+ - src/gdcmSQItem.cxx:
+ -- ::~gdcmSQItem() dummy code cleaned (learned that deletion is
+ cleanly handled with polymophism: sorry but my milage is low).
+ -- ::SetEntryByNumber(string, guint16, guint16) now cleanly allocates
+ a gdcmValENtry, and makes no assumption on type (gdcmDocEntry,
+ gdcmSeqEntry vs gdcmValEntry) of existing entry (when present).
+ This avoids SegFaulting.
+ - src/gdcmSQItem.h: coding style.
+ * Conclusion:
+ - Test/TestWriteSimple still severely sucks. The output image content
+ (when $(GDCMDATA_HOME)/012345.002.050.dcm in input) is brain
+ damaged when displayed with vtkgdcmViewer.
+ - on memory leaks: TestWriteSimple leaks really less (see entry
+ of 2004-06-18 in Changelog file for the call to valgrind).
+ - on segfaults: ctest now passes all the tests but one (no more
+ segfaults).
+ * Erroneous leading white fix:
+ - src/gdcmDict.cxx: getline(from,xxx) doesn't remove the leading
+ white[s] (as opposed to from >> xxx, that removes it [them].
+ - src/gdcmTS.cxx: ditto.
+ - gdcmPython/testSuite.py: dirty related kludge removed.
+ * src/*: remaining references to gdcmParser removed.
+ * src/*[cxx|h]: added copy[way]left header.

+ * In order to fix writing of dicom files:
+ - Test/TestWriteSimple.cxx: a simpler example of writing.
+ - Test/CMakeLists.txt changed accordingly.
+ - src/gdcmDocument.cxx:
+ -- The destructor now recursilvely removes potential sequences.
+ -- Bug fix in ::IsJPEG2000()
+ -- ::ReplaceOrCreateByNumber(std::string, guint16, guint16)
+ now handles promotion of gdcmDocEntry to gdcmValEntry in a cleaner
+ manner.
+ -- ::GetValEntryByNumber(guint16, guint16) now defined (as opposed
+ to only declared) and build on top of
+ ::GetDocEntryByNumber(guint16, guint16).
+ -- ::SetEntryByNumber() now uses GetValEntryByNumber(group, element)
+ - src/gdcmElementSet.[h|cxx]: added ::RemoveEntry(gdcmDocEntry *)
+ for usage in destructor and treatement of promotion in
+ ::ReplaceOrCreateByNumber().
+ - src/gdcmSQItem.cxx: destructor should better handle his job.
+ Test/TestWriteSimple now runs (or at least it DOES something).
+ * We can now start hutting memory links. A good starting point is:
+ valgrind -q --skin=memcheck --leak-check=yes --leak-resolution=high
+ --num-callers=100 --show-reachable=yes gdcmTests TestWriteSimple
+ $(GDCMDATA_HOME)/012345.002.050.dcm foo.dcm

+ * Valgrind note: after Mathieu Malaterre teached me how to read
+ the valgrind FAQ ;-] (see http://valgrind.kde.org/faq.html), I
+ learned that:
+ Using gcc, you can force the STL to use malloc and to free memory as
+ soon as possible by globally disabling memory caching.
+ With 3.2.2 and later, you should export the environment variable
+ GLIBCPP_FORCE_NEW before running your program.
+ By setting GLIBCPP_FORCE_NEW, STL related memory leak messages of gdcm
+ simply vanish (it is still not clear to me, whether this means that
+ STL std::string leaks or if valgrind believes it leaks...).
+ * Fixing of SegFault of Test/makeDicomDir (as shown by ctest or by
+ running bin/gdcmTests makeDicomDir):
+ - src/gdcmDicomDir.cxx: dynamic casting used + clean up.
+ - Test/makeDicomDir.cxx now properly traps empty lists and returns
+ with 1.
+ NOW, makeDicomDir cleanly fails (in ctest terminology) instead of
+ SegFaulting (I drowned in DicomDir related code when trying to
+ understand why the list is empty...).
+ * src/gdcmDocument.h: first BSD license header try.
+ * Doc/License.txt added.

* src/gdcmDocument.[h|cxx]:
- Clean up of the Transfer related predicates. They are now all based
2. Tests as mentionned smarter
3. Some clean up
4. Add a new method in gdcmDict that return the PubDict by name
- this is interesting for 3rd party lib like ITK,
- where we could set the institution name / patient name...

* ENH: 1. Now the test suite is working for real
2. All binaries are now output in the gdcm-bin directory
