    - In vp1394TwoGrabber that allows to grab images from firewire cameras,
      cameras are powered off when the grabber is closed.

      __declspec(thread) with vpDisplayGDI it is possible to open only
      one display.
    - To better organise the code, robot simulators inherit from
      vpRobotSimulator class. Introduction of a new vpRobotWireFrameSimulator
      class as a base class of robot simulated using the wireframe display

     - All initClick() now have a non-blocking equivalent as initFromPoints(),
       or initFromPose(), etc.

       display in static function (display's externalisation).
     - Ransac is now improved for either pose computation or point matching.

ViSP 2.4.2 (released March 27th, 2008)
  - New classes
    - vpCalibration : calibration toolkit for intrinsic and
        extrinsic parameters of perspective camera.
    - vpXmlParserCamera : Parser xml to read and save camera parameters
        from vpCameraParameters class.
    - vpHinkley : Hinkley's cumulative sum test computation.
    - vpMePath  : Tracking of a white curve by using line and parabola
        tracker.
    - vpKeyboard : Gets a key from the keyboard without waiting for the
        enter key.
    - vpParallelPort : Parallel port management under unix.
    - vpRingLight : Irisa's ring light controller.
    - vpKltOpencv : Interface for the KLT (Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi) feature
        tracker implemented with opencv.
  - New Features
  - Bug fix and improvement
    - vpCameraParameters : support for radial distortion camera model.
    - vpAfma6 : Add a getCameraParameters functionnality
    - vpSimulator : either SoWin or SoQt or SoXt is needed to use
        vpSimulator class.
    - vpDot: setMaxDotSize(double percentage) replace
        setNbMaxPoint(double nb) to be less image size dependent.
        The maximal dot size is set by default to 0.25% (quarter image size).
        setGrayLevelPrecision(double grayLevelPrecision) has been
        added for a better management of gray dots detection.
    - vpDot2:
        Changes in searchDotsInArea() :
          The algorithm search now in the bounding boxes of the bad dots.
          Bug fixed : we could fall in an infinite loop.
          Split accuracy private variable into grayLevelPrecision and
          sizePrecision. The gray level min and max are well calculated for
          white and black dots.
        Add setEllipsoidShapePrecision() to turn on/off and modify the test
        related of the geometry of the shape
    - vpDisplayX : better management of endianness
    - vpDisplayGTK, vpDisplayGDI, vpDisplayD3D, vpDisplayX :
        To actually display drawings on the screen, a vpDisplay::flush(I) is
        needed. Use it with parsimony : it is time consuming.
    - vpDisplayGTK, vpDisplayGDI, vpDisplayD3D :
        The behavior of the following methods change to be similar
        to vpDisplayX:
        . getClick(..., button) : The button used to click is now an output
        . getClickUp(..., button) : The button used to click is now an output
        Moreover, in vpDisplayGDI, vpDisplayD3D middle button is now managed
    - vpDisplayGTK, vpDisplayGDI, vpDisplayD3D :
        The usage of display->init(vpImage, int, int); returned a
        segmentation fault : bug fixed
    - vpDisplayD3D : we couldn't re-use a display after the call of the
        function close(vpImage). We had a black image : bug fixed.
    - vpDisplay : changes in displayRectangle():an option parameter
        fill has been had to precise if the displayed rectangle is filled
        or not.
    - vpColor : Add orange color.
    - vpServo : To fix bug #3528 you should explicitly call vpServo::kill()
        in your programs. Otherwise an exception
        vpServoException::notKilledProperly is launched by
        vpServo::~vpServo() destructor.
    - vpMatrix : Change Infinity Norm and Euclidian Norm formula to match with
	the standard matrix norms definitions.
        Change determinant formula for 3x3 matrices to match with
        the standard determinant definition.
    - vpImageConvert :
	Add IplImage to vpImage and vpImage to IplImage conversion tool.
	Add MONO16 to grey (MONO8) conversion tool.
    - vp1394TwoGrabber :
	Supports libdc1394-2.0.0-rc7 and libdc1394-2.0.1
	MONO16 color coding is supported
  - Testing and examples:
    - example/calibration/calibrate2dGrid.cpp was added

  - Bug fix and improvement
	- vpImage: getWidth() and getHeight() replace getCols() and getRows()
	  which are now obsolete.
	- More restrictive types in vpImage, vpDisplay..., and vp...Grabber

	  . vpMouseButton::vpMouseButtonType was introduced to handle
	    mouse clicks
	  . vpColor::vpColorType was introduced to handle colors to display

	  under windows. It allows the use of vpSimulator class under this
	  platform.
