0.6.0 (2021-05-06)

We’re pleased to announce the release of dask-image 0.6.0!

Highlights

The highlights of this release include GPU support for binary morphological functions, and improvements to the performance of imread.

Cupy version 9.0.0 or higher is required for GPU support of the ndmorph subpackage. Cupy version 7.7.0 or higher is required for GPU support of the ndfilters and imread subpackages.

• GPU support for ndmorph subpackage: binary morphological functions (#157)

Improvements

• Improve imread performance: reduced overhead of pim.open calls when reading from image sequence (#182)

Bug Fixes

• dask-image imread v0.5.0 not working with dask distributed Client & napari (#194)

• Not able to map actual image name with dask_image.imread (#200, fixed by #182)

• affine_transform: Remove inconsistencies with ndimage implementation #205

API Changes

• Add alias gaussian pointing to gaussian_filter (#193)

Other Pull Requests

• Change default branch from master to main (#185)

0.5.0 (2021-02-01)

We’re pleased to announce the release of dask-image 0.5.0!

Highlights

The biggest highlight of this release is our new affine transformation feature, contributed by Marvin Albert. The SciPy Japan sprint in November 2020 led to many improvements, and I’d like to recognise the hard work by Tetsuo Koyama and Kuya Takami. Special thanks go to everyone who joined us at the conference!

New Features

• Affine transformation feature added: from dask_image.ndinterp import affine_transform (#159)

• GPU support added for local_threshold with method=’mean’ (#158)

• Pathlib input now accepted for imread functions (#174)

Improvements

• Performance improvement for ‘imread’, we now use da.map_blocks instead of da.concatenate (#165)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed imread tests (add contiguous=True when saving test data with tifffile) (#164)

• FIXed scipy LooseVersion for sum_labels check (#176)

API Changes

• ‘sum’ is renamed to ‘sum_labels’ and a add deprecation warning added (#172)

Documentation improvements

• Add section Talks and Slides #163 (#169)

• Add link to SciPy Japan 2020 talk (#171)

• Add development guide to setup environment and run tests (#170)

• Update information in AUTHORS.rst (#167)

Maintenance

• Update dependencies in Read The Docs environment (#168)

0.4.0 (2020-09-02)

We’re pleased to announce the release of dask-image 0.4.0!

Highlights

The major highlight of this release is support for cupy GPU arrays for dask-image subpackages imread and ndfilters. Cupy version 7.7.0 or higher is required to use this functionality. GPU support for the remaining dask-image subpackages (ndmorph, ndfourier, and ndmeasure) will be rolled out at a later date, beginning with ndmorph.

We also have a new function, threshold_local, similar to the scikit-image local threshold function.

Lastly, we’ve made more improvements to the user documentation, which includes work by new contributor @abhisht51.

New Features

• GPU support for ndfilters & imread modules (#151)

• threshold_local function for dask-image ndfilters (#112)

Improvements

• Add function coverage table to the dask-image docs (#155)

• Developer documentation: release guide (#142)

• Use tifffile for testing instead of scikit-image (#145)
