🔥 API-breaking changes
Image Statistics
While not strictly an API-breaking change, we want to inform you explicitly that we changed the calculation of variance in our Image Statistics from population variance to sample variance, utilizing Bessel's correction. The effective difference is to divide by the number of pixels minus one instead of the number of pixels.
Classification
As a consequence of changes in the formulas and numerical stability of VTK's vtkCurvature class in VTK 9.1, some curvature-based statistical values will be different.
ITK v5 upgrade
If you are affected by any API changes corresponding to the ITK v5 upgrade, we recommend the official ITK v5 Migration Guide, in particular regarding changes in multi-threading.
You may also want to have a look into the Git history of MITK around commit 33923500841b7a4c4eb66aea91f61cff972383f9, since it contains a good amount of migrations.
You will figure out that the majority of necessary changes are simple replacements. The most prominent ones are:
- Component types: itk::ImageIOBase::INT and similar itk::IOComponentEnum::INT and similar
- Pixel types: itk::ImageIOBase::SCALAR and similar itk::IOPixelEnum::SCALAR and similar
- ITK mutexes and mutex lock holders std::mutex and std::lock_guard<std::mutex>
- Return type of itk::Object::GetMTime() is now itk::ModifiedTimeType
RenderingManager class
The bool initializeGlobalTimeSNC parameters of the InitializeView() methods were removed, as they were never called with non-default values.
