v1.0.1 - 07/2017

[framework] The application will now automatically go to check module upon opening a project (as it does upon importing a new model)
[scaling constraints] Fix crashes when a new HBM is loaded that is incompatible with the currently loaded scalable model
[contour] Fixes a bug causing contourCL files to be unrecognized by the software
[anthropo] CCTAnthro-landmark based prediction temporarily removed as it is not yet fully functional
[anthropo] Fixes a bug that caused the "generate regressions" button to do nothing in some cases

v1.0.0 - 05/2017

[pre-posi] some gui enhancement (landmark visibility, reload button always active)
[pre-posi] fix controllers were not destroyed on reload
[fine-posi] fix bad affine density value used

same functionalities as 0.2 but using double precision for floating point numbers: it consumes more memory but sofa-positioning is more stable.

initial version of the PIPER application for windows
it includes the following modules: check, 3d-display, krigging, sofa-smoothing, scaling parameter
