+ * vtk/vtkGdcmReader[cxx|h] should now be volume aware (read ready for
+ debug stage).
+ * gdcmPython/demo/vtkGdcmReader.py: commented lines for volume test
+
+2003-05-29 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
+ * vtk/vtkGdcmReader[cxx|h] preparation addons for loading volumes.
+
+2003-05-28 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
+ * When compiling with distutils (see setup.py) the C++ compiler is
+ called with different flags than the default ones (with automake).
+ In order to fix all those warning, I compiled gdcm with the command
+ make 'CXXFLAGS=-Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -D__STDC_LIMIT_MACROS'
+ and went for warning fixes:
+ - src/gdcmHeader.cxx, Test/dcm2acr.cxx, pourFindTaggs.cxx cleaned
+ up from unused variables.
+ - vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx: potential bug fix.
+ * src/gdcmHeader.h: Doxygen warning cleanup
+
+2003-05-27 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
+ * gdcmPython/gdcm.i:
+ - typemaps correction to take into account the systematic replacement
+ of "using namespace std" with std:: prefix e.g. std::list,
+ std::string... (cf changes of 2003-05-21).
+ - gdcmGlob global variable of type gdcmGlobal (defined in
+ src/gdcmUtil.cxx and declared in gdcmPython/gdcm.i) is now
+ exported to Python a as cvar.
+ * gdcmPython/__init__.py now defines two functions GetPubDictTagNames()
+ and GetPubDictTagNamesByCategory() as a replacement for deprecated
+ gdcmDictSet.GetPubDictTagNames() and
+ gdcmDictSet.GetPubDictTagNamesByCategory() class functions (i.e.
+ C++ static methods).
+ * gdcmPython/demo/printGroupedPublicDict.py is operational again,
+ with the above changes.

+ * setup.py, manifest.in : bug fix under linux
+
+2003-05-22 Benoit Regrain <Benoit.Regrain@creatis.insa-lyon.fr>
+ * Modification of setup.py to compile vtk part too. Then, we have 2
+ wrappers which must work with same distutils. For that, we have a
+ generic distutils in distusiltsWrapping.py ; with :
+ - build_extWrap class to wrap generically all extensions,
+ - ExtensionWrap base class for all wrapping extension that contains
+ a wrapper
+ - Wrapper interface which wrap sources
+ + In WrapSwig.py we have extension and wrapper for Swig
+ + In WrapVTK.py we have extension and wrapper for VTK
+ * MANIFEST.in : modifications to consider vtk directory and new python
+ files for compilation
+
+2003-05-21 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with Benoit Regrain
+ * Added python wrappers of vtkGdcmReader vtk class (see the
+ source in vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx) :
+ - vtk/Makefile.am now builds a library
+ - gdcmPython/Makefile.am now builds vtkgdcmPython a second import
+ python library (as opposed to _gdcm.so wich are the python
+ wrappers of gdcm). vtkgdcmPython.so uses the vtk python wrappers
+ (vtkWrapPython and vtkWrapPythonInit utility) to build vtkgdcmPython
+ import library.
+ - configure.in has an additional flag --enable-vtk that needs
+ to be set to enable compilation of vtk related code, that is:
+ + vtk/vtkGdcmReader.so and
+ + vtk/testvtkGdcmReader C++ demo of vtk wrappers of gdcm)
+ + gdcmPython/vtkgdcmPython.so (see above)
+ - gdcmPython/demo/vtkGdcmDemo.py corrected (some images cannot
+ be read when compressed or when HighBit + 1 != BitsStored),
+ - gdcmPython/demo/vtkGdcmReader.py added. This demo illustrates
+ the usage of the python wrapper of vtkGdcmReader vtk class.
+ * vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx: bug fixed (thanks to Benoit Regrain).
+ * src/*.[h] all occurences of stl classes are now prefixed with
+ std::, and all occurences of "using namespace std;" where removed.
+ This is to avoid pollution of global namespace in included files.
+ Apparently vtk does not avoid this pitfall: when using both
+ gdcm and vtk (as in vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx) this ended up in a
+ collision of various stl members (principally cout...).
+ * gdcmPython/testSuite.py now cleanly removes temprory generated
+ file.
+ * gdcmPython/gdcm.i now declares a typemap for std::string (to
+ comply with above changes)
+
+2003-05-12 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
+ * src/gdcmHeader>[h/cxx] added gdcmHeader::GetPixelSize()
+ * vtk/vtkGdcmReader.cxx now properly inports the image in the
+ vtk data structure (an image Flip was required).
+ * vtk/testvtkGdcmReader.cxx refers to gdcmData subdir instead of Data.
+ * cosmetic changes in documentation.
+
+2003-05-7 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
+ * src/gdcmHeader.cxx: the constructor no longer exits when an
+ unexisting file is given as argument.
+ * The subdirectory Data (containing all the images used for the
+ test suite) is not part of this repository anymore. A new module
+ containing those images is now available at
+ :pserver:xxx@cvs.creatis.insa-lyon.fr:2402/cvs/public
+ with the name gdcmData.
+ All the python scripts (including the package initialisation file
+ gdcmPython/__init__.py) were adapated to take this change into
+ account (basically GDCM_DATA_PATH is now GDCM_TEST_DATA_PATH).
+
+2003-05-5 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
+ * vtk subdir added. Contains vtkGdcmReader.[cxx|h] a vtk class
+ inherinting from vtkImageReader and testvtkGdcmReader.cxx a small
+ demo of the usage of this class.
+ Compilation of this vtk part is only done when using the --enable-vtk
+ at configure (or autogen.sh) stage.
+
+2003-04-16 Eric Boix <Eric.Boix@creatis.insa-lyon.fr> with JPR
+ * More memmory link related corrections and documentation fixes.
+ Notes on valgrind:
+ - maximum info is obtained with a command of the form:
+ valgrind --leak-check=yes --leak-resolution=high --num-callers=40
+ --show-reachable=yes PrintHeader
+ - the remaining reachable blocks seem to come from the STL
+ allocation scheme through the usage of map and list. It looks
+ like this memory cannot be freed but it is not a memory leak
+ (in fact further invocation to the STL would recollect the
+ unused memory allthough it cannot explicitely be freed).
+ * gdcmPython/demo/vtkGdcmDemo.py added: this is a small demo
+ of displaying an image parsed with gdcm and displayed with VTK.
+ Note: some images don't seem to work e.g.
+ python vtkGdcmDemo.py ../../Data/US-RGB-8-esopecho.dcm
+ * src/gdcmHeader.x: dicom_vr and Dicts are not class members anymore.
+ Allthough this weakens the semantics, it is a ditch attempt to
+ make gdcm more thread friendly.
