> API changes
> -----------
> 
> The following backward-incompatible API changes were made between 0.8 and 0.9:
> 
> - No longer wrap ``imread`` output in an ``Image`` class
> - Change default value of `sigma` parameter in ``skimage.segmentation.slic``
>  to 0
> - ``hough_circle`` now returns a stack of arrays that are the same size as the
>  input image. Set the ``full_output`` flag to True for the old behavior.

>  `skimage.morphology.is_local_maximum`, `skimage.transform.hough`,
>  `skimage.transform.probabilistic_hough`,`skimage.transform.hough_peaks`.
>  Their functionality still exists, but under different names.
