    OTB-v.1.6.0 - Changes since version 1.4.0
    -----------------------------------------
    
    *BasicFilters:
    
    	- Added StreamingVectorStatisticsImageFilter to compute 
    	the second order stastics on a large vector image.
    
    	- Added the MAtrixTransposeMatrixImageFilter to compute 
    	the product of the matrix of vector pixels from image 1 
    	in row with the the matrix of vector pixels from image 2 
    	column for large vector image. 
    
           - Added the otb::VectorImageTo3DScalarImageFilter which transform 
           a vector image into a 3D scalar image where each band is represented 
           in a layer of the 3rd dimension.
    
           - Added the otb::ImageListToVectorImageFilter and

    OTB-v.1.0.2 - Changes since version 1.0.1
    -----------------------------------------
    
    - OTB can now been compiled on several new platforms :
           - Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2005 (8.0).
           - Cygwin.
           - MinGW on Windows platform. 
    
    - LUM and BSQ formats have been added.
    
    
    Note : On MS Windows platforms, if you have any problem related 
           to using the OTB's internal version of ITK, you could try to use 
           an external version of ITK (use ITK 2.6 or later) by setting 
           OTB_USE_EXTERNAL_ITK to ON and ITK_DIR to the directory where 
           your ITK built resides.
