v1.2

Added

• Added prep_imdata() to Tile and Tile subclasses. This method can
  be used to prepare image data before feature detection and matching,
  for example, by converting a 16-bit image to an 8-bit image.

Changed

• Fixed bug stitching mosaics that have not been aligned and that have
  inconsistent row heights or column widths. The tiles making up each
  row must still have the same height, and those making up each column
  must have the same width.
• The Mosaic.align() method now raises RuntimeError if it fails to
  detect any features or align at least two tiles.

v1.1

Added

• Added optional channel_order kwarg to the stitch method. Allows users to specify the channel order in the stitched array.

v1.0

Streamlined package with modified API

Added

• Added scikit-image backend in addition to opencv (but it's very slow)
• Added tests

Changed

• Breaking: Refactored package and discarded or modified all functions and classes
• Modified functions to make it easier to customize the stitching workflow
• Can now create a mosaic from a grid with unknown structure

Removed

• Removed subcommands from command line tool. Use the stitch2d command directly to create mosaics instead.
• Removed ability to set offsets manually using a GUI. Use the limit kwarg on the align method and the build_out method to quickly build mosaics instead.
• Removed example tiles
• Removed modules used to organize tiles generated in the NMNH Mineral Sciences labs
