+Announcement: scikits-image 0.7.0
+=================================
+
+We're happy to announce the 7th version of scikits-image!
+
+Scikits-image is an image processing toolbox for SciPy that includes algorithms
+for segmentation, geometric transformations, color space manipulation,
+analysis, filtering, morphology, feature detection, and more.
+
+For more information, examples, and documentation, please visit our website
+
+  http://skimage.org
+
+
+New Features
+------------
+
+It's been only 3 months since scikits-image 0.6 was released, but in that short
+time, we've managed to add plenty of new features and enhancements, including
+
+- Geometric image transforms
+- 3 new image segmentation routines (Felsenzwalb, Quickshift, SLIC)
+- Local binary patterns for texture characterization
+- Morphological reconstruction
+- Polygon approximation
+- CIE Lab color space conversion
+- Image pyramids
+- Multispectral support in random walker segmentation
+- Slicing, concatenation, and natural sorting of image collections
+- Perimeter and coordinates measurements in regionprops
+- An extensible image viewer based on Qt and Matplotlib, with plugins for edge
+  detection, line-profiling, and viewing image collections
+
+Plus, this release adds a number of bug fixes, new examples, and performance
+enhancements.
+
