+Any contribution is welcome. + +

Allow user to tell gdcm::Document constructor he just wants + to load a given list of DocEntries (to save CPU time and RAM + space) +
Allow user to tell the Writer he doesn't want to write down + SeqEntry (if any) +

Icon Image management (Read and Write) +
DICOMDIR full management (not limited to + PATIENT/STUDY/SERIE/IMAGE) +
Allow user to add an Entry to the default entry list, before + making a DICOMDIR from a root directory +
16-bits-LUT full Management +
User friendly management of Rescale Slope and + Rescale Intercept +
Allow parsing the Shadow groups against a user supplied + private Dicom Dictionary (pfff!...) +
An accurate SerieHelper +
A SerieHelper that would use the DICOMDIR (if any) + instead of parsing all the files within the Root Directory +

The new gdcmDocument class is a parent class of gdcmHeader class and gdcmDicomDir class.
Massive modifications in the Class Diagram :
- Entries (gdcmEntry) are now separated into - ValEntry and SeqEntry (whose VR = - SQ) -
- a gdcmDocument is_a gdcmElementSet, - composed of a set of gdcmValEntry - and gdcmSeqEntry -
- a gdcmSeqEntry is considered as a set - of gdcmSQItem -
- Dicom Sequences (VR = SQ) are now dealt as tree-like - structures within gdcmSQItem class.
  - they are considered as a set of gdcmSQItems -
