scikits-image 0.4 release notes#

We’re happy to announce the 0.4 release of scikits-image, an image processing toolbox for SciPy.

Please visit our examples gallery to see what we’ve been up to:

Note that, in this release, we renamed the module from scikits.image to skimage, to work around name space conflicts with other scikits (similarly, the machine learning scikit is now imported as sklearn).

A big shout-out also to everyone currently at SciPy India; have fun, and remember to join the scikits-image sprint!

This release runs under all major operating systems where Python (>=2.6 or 3.x), NumPy and SciPy can be installed.
