Check if the minutiea is empty (i.e. if the 9.012 field ends with a US caracter, the split function will take the "data after" the last separator (i.e. nothing) in the return list)

Patch : if the FS separator is not present, the minutiae extraction will not fail (the type of the last minutiae will be correctly extracted)

Deprecation of the self.get_image, and replacement with the self.get_latent function. In prevision of the functions working with TP images

Cleaning the imports and put the __version__ import in try:except if the file is not present on the file-system

Store the version in the version.py file before making the package. The version can be viewed in python with the statement NIST.__version__
