Its core component is a generic and efficient C++ +library called Milena. Milena provides a framework to implement +simple, fast, safe, reusable and extensible image processing tool +chains. The library provides many ready-to-use image data structures +(regular 1D, 2D, 3D images, graph-based images, etc.) and algorithms. +Milena's algorithms are built upon classical entities from the image +processing field (images, points/sites, domains, neighborhoods, etc.). +This design allows image processing developers and practitioners to +easily understand, modify, develop and extend new algorithms while +retaining the core traits of Milena: genericity and efficiency. + +The package also features Swilena, an optional component exposing +Milena to other languages thanks to the Simplified Wrapper and +Interface Generator (SWIG). For the moment, only some Python bindings +are provided. + +The Olena platform is Free Software. It is distributed under the +conditions of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2. See the +file COPYING shipped with the Olena distribution. + +Release notes are available at: + http://olena.lrde.epita.fr/Olena100 + +You can download packages of the Olena 1.0 distribution here: + http://www.lrde.epita.fr/dload/olena/1.0/olena-1.0.tar.gz (25MB) + http://www.lrde.epita.fr/dload/olena/1.0/olena-1.0.tar.bz2 (21MB) + +The SHA1 digests of theses packages are: + 33fc3a327db3f4f68c882d3b2462b83841425628 olena-1.0.tar.gz + 2c6ba36d4a156156f7d5ea8f2e1f02bbec9c9098 olena-1.0.tar.bz2 + +Here is a list of major changes since Olena 0.11: + + * The core C++ library, renamed to Milena, has been rewritten from + scratch and features numerous additions over the past releases. + Some features have also been dropped or disabled, and some of them + will be reintegrated in future releases. The programming + interface has changed from previous versions, but most programs + using Olena 0.11 can be adapted to the Olena 1.0 API. + + * Milena uses a simplified version of the SCOOP 2 paradigm + (informally called SCOOP 1.5), to improve the speed of compilation + and make developing easier while still providing very good + run-time performances. + + * A first (re)implementation of Swilena featuring Python wrappers + for a very small subset of Milena is available. The bundled + Swilena Python Shell (sps) allows interactive Olena sessions. + + * A reference documentation including a tutorial and a quick + reference guide have been started. They do not cover the whole + Milena library yet. + + * Olena includes some demos and applications using Milena. + +The file NEWS, included in the archive, contains a more complete list +of user-visible changes. + +Please report any problem by mail to <olena-bugs@lrde.epita.fr>. -- 1.6.1.2
