OTB-v.5.0.0 - Changes since version 4.4.0 (2015/02/13)
------------------------------------------
* Library:
* Modularization
* Code is now better organized in groups/modules/classes
* ITK CMake architecture to handle module and dependencies is used
* Modules can be deactivated at will with dependencies tracking
* Third parties software are handled as module and can be deactivated
* Tests and applications are embedded in modules
* Writing of new module or update of existing modules is simplified by cmake magic
* Remove deprecated code
* MeanShiftVectorImageFilter and MeanShiftImageFilter classes
* CommandLineLauncher(const char * exp) and Load( const std::string & exp ) methods in CommandLineLauncher class
* ThirdParties
* No more internal versions of most third parties (except 6S, siftfast, ossimplugins)
* Removed openjpeg sources from OTB source
* Removed LibSVM sources from OTB source
* Removed Edison sources from OTB source
* Removed ConfigFile sources from OTB source
* Removed LibKML sources from OTB source
* Add support for external openjpeg 2.1
* Third parties copyrights have been cleaned
* Superbuild
* A separate superbuild project has been added in the Superbuild repository
* It allows to build all OTB dependencies from source, and then OTB (thus replaces the removed internal versions)
* Sources are checked out at configuration time or can be downloaded beforehand
* Allow to build a complete OTB with a handful of prerequisites (gcc, cmake, curl)
* Doxygen
* Classes are now organized by modules
* Bug fixed:
* Monteverdi2
* 0001033: Crash when updating no data value in mv2

* 0001028: URL for online application documentation is not available anymore on the orfeo website
* OTB-lib
* 0001039: ITK patches are not always used
* 0001045: StreamingStatisticsMapFromLabelImageFilter can't be templated with otb::Image as support image

* 0001040: Optimization of Concatenate VectorImage Filter (from 28M cycles to 8M cycles)
* 0001043: Optimization of Multi to Mono Channel Extract ROI (from 8M cycles to 3M cycles)
* 0001011: Need safeguards to test for ExtendedFilename parameters
* OTB-Packaging

* 0001026: In command line application launcher, image path and filename can not contain "--"
* 0001044: OTB Windows 64bit -error cast from 'const short unsigned int*' to 'long unsigned int
* 0001025: QtWidgetListViewParameter gets reset when changing another parameter in applications
* 0001014: OTB does not compile with ITK 4.8
* OTB-applications
* 0001032: otbgui_RadiometricIndices output image without spatial reference system EPSG code
* 0001037: file and vector outputs need explicit relative paths
