Strategy to publish external modules for different versions of ITK #142

I agree with you, we should maybe fix the ITK version for a given module release. In my experience, some patch versions are incompatible, e.g., |

Yes, fixing to patch versions is conservative, but safest. |

Update CI to build against v5.4.0 Also, improve how the `itk` python package version dependency is specified. Uses `== 5.4.*` to indicated compatibility with 5.4.0, 5.4.1, 5.4.2, etc., but not 5.5.0, etc. There is generally binary incompatibilty between minor versions. While it is possible that there could be binary incompatibility between patch releases, it is more likely that they will be compatible. This flexibilty helps ensure that remote module packages are not assumed invalid when a new patch version of `itk` is released. Addresses InsightSoftwareConsortium#142

Currently, it is tricky to know which version of an ITK external module can be used with a specific version of ITK.
Since often external modules are not updated on PyPi, users need to try until they find a version of ITK that (seems to) work.
It would be nice if there was a consistent strategy. Some ideas:
itk >= 5.3.0, < 5.4.0itk >= 5.2.1, < 5.2.2The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
