SMQTK v0.7.0 Release Notes
==========================

This minor release incorporates various fixes and enhancements to
representation and algorithms interfaces and implementations.

A new docker image has been added to wrap the IQR web interface and headless
services. This image can either be used as a push-button image ingestion and
IQR interface container, or as a fully feature environment to play around with
SMQTK, Caffe deep-learning-based content description and IQR.

A major departure has happened for some representation structures, like
DataElements, as they are no longer considered hashable and now have interfaces
reflecting their mutability. Representation structures, by their nature of
having arbitrary backends, may be modifiable my external agents interacting in
a separate manner with the backend being used. This has also opened up the
ability to provide algorithm implementations with DataElement instances instead
of filepaths for desired byte content and many implementations have
transitioned over to using this pattern. There is nothing fundamentally wrong
with requesting file-path input, however it is restricting as to where
configuration files or data models may come from.
