DICOM-rs 0.7.0

Today a major edition of DICOM-rs is released. Version 0.7.0 encompasses a new array of changes to correct existing quirks in the API and make way for grater capabilities. It is also not without new features, improvements and a few bug fixes.

Changes

• [core,dictionary-builder] Data element dictionary entries now provide a VirtualVr instead of a specific value representation (Implement virtual VR concept in data element dictionary entries #478)
• [core] DICOM date/time value types were revamped to optionally include the time zone offset, affecting function signatures around it (Revamp DICOM datetime #453 @jmlaka)

📦 Updated crates

Starting from this release, all crates with breaking changes will have their version set to the project version. For instance, rather than bumping dicom-pixeldata from 0.2.2 to 0.3.0, it will be set to 0.7.0.
This is to reduce the confusion of certain crates in the ecosystem appearing to be outdated when they are not, as well as to better clarify which versions are expected to be compatible with which crate in the ecosystem.

• dicom-core 0.7.0
• dicom-dictionary-std 0.7.0
• dicom-encoding 0.7.0
• dicom-parser 0.7.0
• dicom-transfer-syntax-registry 0.7.0
• dicom-ul 0.7.0
• dicom-scpproxy 0.7.0
• dicom-object 0.7.0
• dicom-dump 0.7.0
• dicom-json 0.7.0
• dicom-pixeldata 0.7.0
• dicom-echoscu 0.7.0
• dicom-storescu 0.7.0
• dicom-storescp 0.7.0
• dicom-findscu 0.7.0
• dicom-toimage 0.7.0
• dicom-fromimage 0.7.0
• dicom-dictionary-builder 0.7.0
• dicom 0.7.0

🙏 Thanks

Acknowledging that DICOM-rs can only grow at this pace with the active collaboration from the community, it is worth highlighting that version 0.7.0 had the highest number of new contributors in a DICOM-rs release yet.
