Compared with MITK 1.0, MITK 1.1 has following new features

---

    (1) Volume re-slice function: add class mitkVolumeResliceFilter to generate a group of new slices (a new volume) at an arbitrary position and along an arbitrary direction of a given volume; add class mitkReslicePlaneWidgetModel based on mitkClippingPlaneWidgetModel to generate the transect image interactively;

    (2) A simple LoD function of volume rendering: add class mitkVolumeRendererRayCastingLoD which provides two level of rendering precision, and adjust the design of mitkManipulator to support LoD;

    (3) A new volume resizing filter: mitkVolumeResizeFilter;

    (4) A new volume cropping filter: mitkVolumeCropFilter;

    (5) A new image smoothing filter: mitkDiffusionFilter;

    (6) A new image edge detection filter based on Sobel operator: mitkSobelEdgeDetectFilter;

    (7) Enhanced pseudocolor function: add class mitkPseudocolorWidgetModelEx to directly map original pixel values (including 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit integers and float point values) to RGB colors, and use mitkColorTable to set color table freely;

    (8) A new multi-raw-file reader: mitkRawFilesReader;

    (9) Adjust the design of mitkManipulator's interfaces: move common responding operations of different mouse messages to public functions OnMouseDown/Up/Move(), and place particular operations of derived classes to the protected virtual functions _onMouseDown/Up/Move(). So users who implement their own manipulators which are derived from mitkManipulator must change the name of functions OnMouseDown/Up/Move() to _onMouseDown/Up/Move() and place them in protected functions, if they want to move their derived class to MITK 1.1;

    (10) Fix some bugs found in MITK 1.0;

    (11) Add a complex demo example (Examples/Demo), an enhanced image browser example (Examples/ImageBrowserEx), a enhanced surface reconstruction example(Examples/SurfaceReconEx2) and a simple volume rendering example (Examples/VolRen).
