[itom-discussions] itom version 2.1.0 released

[Marc G. <mar...@it...>]

The 'itom' team is pleased to announce the next version 2.1.0 of 'itom'.

The all-in-one installer is now shipped with the following Python packages:

   - compiled using Qt5.3.2
   - Python 3.5.1
   - Pip 8.0.3
   - Numpy 1.10.4 + MKL
   - Scipy 0.17.0
   - six 1.10.0
   - pytz 2015.7
   - Matplotlib 1.5.1
   - Frosted 1.4.1
   - PyParsing 2.0.3
   - six 1.9.0
   - dateutil 2.4.0
   - Pies 2.6.7
   - cycler 0.9.0
   - scikit-image 0.11.3
   - decorator 4.0.8
   - networkx 1.11
   - Pillow 3.1.1

For the compilation the all-in-one development environment from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/itom/files/all-in-one-build-setup/ has
been used, but Python has been updated to 3.5.1.

Please uninstall a previous version of itom using the Windows unistall
tool. You can also uninstall all Python packages as well as Python <= 3.4
if you don't need this any more since itom 2.1.0 comes with Python 3.5.

Python packages can be installed or upgraded using the itom-internal Python
package manager. Most python packages including their dependencies can
therefore automatically be downloaded from pypi.python.org.

If you want to use big packages with a high amount of C-Code included (like
Numpy, Scipy or Matplotlib) under Windows, please download the
corresponding wheel archives from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
and install them using the itom internal Python package manager tool.


This version is tagged with 'v2.1.0' in the source repository, the current
setup versions for Windows 32bit and 64bit are available at bitbucket.org/
itom/itom/downloads.

A changelog with the most important changes and added features is available
