[OSGeo-Announce] Orfeo ToolBox 5.10 is released!

[Jorge Sanz]

We are very happy to announce the new release of Orfeo ToolBox 5.10,
codename Valentine! Besides 29 bugs fixed, we are introducing some
exciting new features:

* On the fly color mapping in Monteverdi with GLSL shaders. One of
Orfeo ToolBox flagship application is Monteverdi, a hardware
accelerated satellite image viewer that works with multiple geometries
(including sensor!). In the upcoming version, OTB 5.10, we are adding
a powerful new feature: live color mapping with GLSL shaders. What
does that mean? You can now add colors to your single band raster
images on the fly!

* Easy migration from GUI to Bash with automatic command line. Have
you ever used an OTB application from Monteverdi and wanted to move it
to a script? Now it's easier than ever! Whenever you use any OTB
application from the GUI, there will be the equivalent command line
for Bash displayed in the Logs tab.

* New applications in OTB. DomainTransform for transforming images to
the Fourier or Wavelet domain

* A new system for making composite applications. We can now write
applications that call other applications, improving code reuse. For
example, the  BundleToPerfectSensor application has been refactored to
reuse the Superimpose and Pansharpening applications internally.

* Packaging Remote Module. We are now packaging remote modules for
binary distribution. Select packages compatible with our build system
are now available for download via a “OTB-contrib” package that
includes the standard OTB installation (Applications, Monteverdi,
etc), plus remote module binaries.

* For a full list of changes, see the Release Notes[1].

Binary packages for 5.10 are available now for Linux, Mac OS and Windows!
