Hi all,

We're making good progress on the release. Here's a summary of what still needs to happen:

- Pull-request review:

https://github.com/scikits-image/scikits.image/pull/28 [Histogram of Gradients + draw] https://github.com/scikits-image/scikits.image/pull/27 [Radon + fast_homography]

- Merge:

https://github.com/scikits-image/scikits.image/pull/19 [CellProfiler morphology] [will also require minor moving around of files] https://github.com/scikits-image/scikits.image/pull/14 [New backend system] https://github.com/scikits-image/scikits.image/pull/12 [Probabilistic hough] https://github.com/scikits-image/scikits.image/pull/12 [Video IO]

- PRs that can possibly still make this release, with little effort:

https://github.com/scikits-image/scikits.image/pull/7 [Colour channels are currently returned in the wrong order] https://github.com/scikits-image/scikits.image/pull/13 [Needs some minor cleanup; remove default cv dependency]

- PRs that will have to wait until the next release:

https://github.com/scikits-image/scikits.image/pull/16 [Fast convolution; boundary modes need to be added]

I'd like for 0.3 to also have Debian packaging. I was originally planning to do our own Windows binary releases, but I don't think I'll have time to setup the appropriate environment in time.

From now until release, we'll stop considering PRs other than minor

updates or documentation.

Regards Stéfan
