[Imageworld] Announcing ITK-SNAP release 2.0

[Paul Yushkevich]

We are happy to announce the next major release of the ITK-SNAP
medical image segmentation tool. The main focus of this release is on
multi-modality imaging, with support for multiple image layers, and
multi-component images. Interoperability with other tools is
substantially enhanced through improved NIfTI compatibility. A
companion command-line tool, "convert3d" (distributed separately from
ITK-SNAP) is provided, offering complimentary features for
pre-processing images and post-processing segmentations. A number of
GUI improvements have been added throughout.
