The documentation for OTB 9.0.0 can be found at 
https://www.orfeo-toolbox.org/CookBook-9.0/ 
<https://www.orfeo-toolbox.org/CookBook-9.0/>.

This major version introduce a *whole new packaging system* entirely 
made with CMake / CPack, to make the toolbox more modular. You still 
have the possibility to have a full package for Linux and Windows, but 
for those who want to install only a part of the toolbox it is now 
possible. The modules list is available in the cookbook with their 
associated applications. All the packages are now in tar.gz and the 
installation is movable unlike OTB < 9.


This release also *drops the GUI* part which was heavy and redundant 
with QGIS which is now the official visualization tool. *The version 9.0 
does not include Monteverdi or Mapla*. This led to a reduction of 80Mo 
in the package size.


This version also marks the *drop of MacOS support*, but users on Apple 
Silicon chips can use the Docker image to continue using OTB.

To download the packages one by one for a modular installation, you can 
download them at https://www.orfeo-toolbox.org/packages/ 
<https://www.orfeo-toolbox.org/packages/> and follow the instructions in 
at https://www.orfeo-toolbox.org/CookBook-9.0/Installation.html 
<https://www.orfeo-toolbox.org/CookBook-9.0/Installation.html> .


This version also contains some performance improvement on the 
DEMHandler and SARMetadata.

welcome your feedback and requests on OTB’s GitLab
