New Features:
- Machine Learning
- Added the ability to learn non-negative weight vectors to the
structural_assignment_trainer object.
- Added two new graph clustering algorithms: Chinese Whispers and
Newman's modularity clustering.
- Added a number of new graph manipulation tools:
sparse_matrix_vector_multiply(), is_ordered_by_index(),
find_neighbor_ranges(), convert_unordered_to_ordered(),

clustering.
- Added a number of new graph manipulation tools: sparse_matrix_vector_multiply(),
is_ordered_by_index(), find_neighbor_ranges(), convert_unordered_to_ordered(),
remove_duplicate_edges(), and the ordered_sample_pair object.
- Networking
- Added a set of tools for creating applications using the Bulk Synchronous
Parallel computing model. See the new bsp_ex.cpp example program for an
introduction.
- Added a routine that lets a user disable Nagle's algorithm on a TCP
connection.

- Added a routine that lets a user disable Nagle's algorithm on a TCP connection.
- Added an asynchronous start routine to the server object. This is the new
start_async() method.
- Added the network_address object.
- Added connect_to() to the bridge interface.
- Added find_max_parse_cky(), a method implementing the well known CKY algorithm
for parsing probabilistic context free grammars.
- Added find_max_parse_cky(), a method implementing the well known CKY algorithm for
parsing probabilistic context free grammars.
- Added the ability to label parts of objects with the mouse to the image_display
widget.
- Added the ability to put overlay circles and full_object_detections into the
image_window widget.
- Added a stddev() for matrix objects.
- Added operator+() for running_stats and running_scalar_covariance.
- Added an overload of murmur_hash3_128bit() that takes 4 integers instead of a
block of memory.
- Added an overload of murmur_hash3_128bit() that takes 4 integers instead of a block of
memory.
- Added rand::get_random_64bit_number().
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
- Changed the image_dataset_metadata XML reading tools to use a map of strings to
points to represent object parts. This change removes the old head point from a
box since this information can now be represented in the parts map.
- The syntax for passing order_by_distance and order_by_index to std::sort() is
now slightly different since these functions are now templates. However, this
change allows them to work on any kind of sample_pair or ordered_sample_pair
object.

- The default distance value of a sample_pair is now initialized to 1 instead of
infinity.
Bug fixes:
- Added a patch, contributed by Martin Müllenhaupt, to fix a minor bug in the
SQLite bindings.
- Added a patch, contributed by Martin Müllenhaupt, to fix a minor bug in the SQLite
bindings.
- Fixed a typo which would prevent code that called running_stats::max_n() from
compiling.
Other:
- Added a new documentation page for the various graph tools in dlib.
- Added support for Visual Studio 2012.
- Switched the sample_pair object to use double to store its distance value
instead of float.
- Switched the sample_pair object to use double to store its distance value instead of
float.
- Added William Sobel's patch to the web server that improves its flexibility and
security.
- Changed the server object so you don't have to use the server::kernel_1a syntax
to declare it anymore. Now you just say server, server_iostream, or
server_http depending on which one you want.
- Set the default max number of connections a server will accept at a time to
1000 rather than the previous default of infinity.
- Changed the server object so you don't have to use the server::kernel_1a syntax to
declare it anymore. Now you just say server, server_iostream, or server_http
depending on which one you want.
- Changed the cmd_line_parser so you don't have to use the ::kernel_1a syntax anymore.
Now it is declared like a normal single implementation object.
- Set the default max number of connections a server will accept at a time to 1000
rather than the previous default of infinity.
