Version Published Release Notes
2.3.0.1

small code fix.

2.3.0.0

minor fix.
Snapshot of the GUI added.
GUI added.

2.2.0.0

a bug in the maxFilter code was fixed (thanks to Pravin Nair).

2.1.0.0

new version: optimized to work with narrow range kernels.
minor fix

1.14.0.0

Sterling's formula used to approximate the factorial computation. As a result, the filter can now be used with small range bandwidth, e.g., at \sigma_r=1.
some minor fix.
Small fixes made to speedup the code.

1.13.0.0

Replaced rand( ) by randn( ) in the file *demo*.

1.12.0.0

Replaced 'parfor' loop with 'for' loop.

1.10.0.0

A minor update.

1.8.0.0

Code for joint filtering of multiband images added (Courtsey of Derek).
