-The Computational Morphometry Toolkit
-==========================================================================
-
-
-Release Notes -- CMTK 3.3.1p1
-=============================
-
-The sole purpose of this release is to fix compilation errors resulting
-from a changed API in the DCMTK toolkit, release 3.6.4. There should be
-no differences to CMTK 3.3.1 when building against an older version of
-DCMTK.
-
-
-Release Notes -- CMTK 3.3.1
-===========================
-
-This is a minor bugfix release that addresses an issue with polynomial
-transformations that could cause out-of-bounds memory access.
-
-
-Release Notes -- CMTK 3.3.0
-===========================
-
-This release replaces signed 32bit integers for pixel indexing with signed
-64bit integers, thus removing the previous limitation of allowing no more
-than 2B pixels per image.
-
-
-Platform Support
-================
-
-CMTK has been built and tested on the following platforms:
-
-- Linux 64bit (Fedora 23), gcc 5.3.1
-- Cygwin, gcc 4.9.3
-- Windows7 x64, VisualStudio 2013 Express for Desktop
-
-
-Platform-Specific Issues
-========================
-
-
-MacOS-X
--------
-
-- Code coverage tests are only supported with gcc compiler and SDK 10.6. Older
-  SDKs or the clang and llvm compiler front-ends do not support code coverage.
-
-  http://www.nitrc.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=5450&group_id=212&atid=877
-
-
-- To use a pre-combiled binary version of CMTK that was compiled on MacOS with
-  MacPorts compilers, the following MacPorts packages have to be installed
-  under /opt/local:
-  - qt4
-  - sqlite3
-  - dcmtk
-
-
-SolarisStudio Compiler, Linux/Intel
------------------------------------
-
-- SolarisStudio cannot build CMTK due to a non-standard, incompatible C++ STL.
-
-
-- SolarisStudio C++ 12.2 crashes when compiling the "Numerics" library with
-  full optimization, -O3. A bug report has been filed with, and accepted by,
-  Oracle:
-
-  http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6989625
-
-  Workaround: build "MinSizeRel" configuration, which sets optimization level
-    to O2. Note that OpenMP must be disabled, because otherwise optimization
-    is bumped back to O3 by default.
-
-  This problem is also fixed in SolarisStudio 12.3, but see next issue.
-
-
-- SolarisStudio C++ 12.3 crashes when compiling the file
-  "cmtkEchoPlanarUnwarpFunctional.cxx" with OpenMP support turned on.
-
-  Workaround: set "CMTK_USE_OPENMP" configuration option to "OFF"; this will
-    lead to much of CMTK's functionality executing single-threaded.
-
-
-Open64 Compiler
----------------
-
-- CMTK does not build in Release mode with the Open64 compiler due to internal
-  compiler errors.
