Dear OSGeo community,

We are happy to announce that OTB version 8.1.0 has been released!

This minor version brings multiple corrections to the Metadata
framework, in particular with Pleiades products. It also comes with an
improvement to the DEM Handler that won’t read multiple time the same
directory. This new behavior is described in the documentation. The
NewFunctorFilter now has a default value for the radius. And with this
release, PyOTB can finally unleash all it’s power.

The release also fixes a behavior of Superimpose application, which
writes RPC on final products if the initial product is not
orthorectified, it also includes some documentation improvements and
dead code removal.

Note about known issues : Some PHR products metadata are missing when
using the DIMAP driver leading to some errors when trying to
orthorectify the product, see the RELEASE_NOTES for more details.

We welcome your feedback and requests on OTB’s GitLab and if you find
a bug, please report it !

Sincerely,
The OTB team.
