  • Thanks to the stewardship of Isaiah Norton and the kindness of the Discourse organization, Slicer forum is graciously hosted under the condition we keep the word "discourse" in the URL: https://discourse.slicer.org
  • A group of Slicer community members have extensively discussed the advantages of an updated forum software, and developed a consensus at the 24th Project Week that we test Discourse as a new home for questions and discussion by users and developers of Slicer and any extension/topical communities who are interested.

  • Development of slicer3.4 is still under way. To check the status, go to the bug tracker and search for the tag "3.4 Targeted fix". Our plan is to fix anything with that tag before branching the release. http://na-mic.org/Mantis/main_page.php The svn trunk for slicer3 is still in "feature freeze" mode, meaning that only fixes should be checked in. Any new development should occur in svn branches for now.
  • Developers, please be sure to apply the "3.4 Targeted fix" to anything you are working on for the release.

January

  • A product release of Slicer 3.4 is scheduled for Feb/March
  • There will be a code freeze on Feb 4, 2009
  • Slicer3 and related research project were highlighted and demoed as part of the External Advisory Board meeting of the Neuroimage Analysis Center.

  • Andras Jakab won second place in Kitware's medical image visualization contest!. The image combines slice viewing, models, volume rendering, and tractography applied to a gamma knife neurooncology radiotherapy planning case. Andras used slicer's registration tools to fuse CT and diffusion MR into a multimodal scene.
  • A NA-MIC Workshop at MICCAI addressed the creation of ITK-based command line modules for 3D Slicer.
  • Slicer user Attila Nagy presented on Slicer3 for inner ear imaging (Slides - Hungarian)
  • Attila also provided patches to build Slicer3 and most of Slicer2 using the latest versions of Solaris and the optimized Sun C++ compilers.
