Hello,

I have been considering what is being discussed to be done between now and 
September, when currently the 4.3 release is scheduled, along with the 
resources that I am aware that are available to contribute and add new features 
to ITK. I would like to propose that we change the scheduled release in 
september to only a patch release of 4.2.


The fix for the performance regression that Kent and myself have worked on in 
quite significant and there is still work to be done there to try to whittle 
the maximum number of GetInput calls down further. Additionally, there are some 
WrapITK issues I have encountered when I instantiate more pixel types. And 
there is the important patch that has been contributed by a use to get WrapITK 
working with VS10. So I think there is some significant fixes that would 
justify a 4.2.1 patch release.


This would not disrupt those working on the forward progress of the master 
branch either. Those patches intended to be merged into the release can through 
the normal gerrit process. The only difference would be that should be based on 
the release branch and not the master branch, and SHOULD NOT be rebased before 
they are merged into master.

Thanks for sharing you thoughts on this issue.

Brad
