New Features in Slicer 3.4

Slicer 3.4 has many new features! Please also note that many of these new features are still being developed and will be improved in future releases, so you may encounter some unexpected behavior. If you do encounter unexpected behavior, you can join the Slicer users' mailing by sending email to slicer-users-request@massmail.spl.harvard.edu with the subject "subscribe", and report the behavior there to see if there is a work around (or check the archives), and to the bug tracker if it needs to be solved by the developers.

Please note that Slicer continues to be a research package and is not intended for clinical use. Testing of functionality is an ongoing activity with high priority, however, some features of Slicer3 are not fully tested.
