Overview

Slicer4 (officially 3D Slicer version 4) will be the next big development in the history of the 3D Slicer project. It's a big step which promises a lot of benefits. It's also an opportunity to adopt some new programming styles and break with a few past traditions. Overall though it should maintain the same spirit as earlier versions of slicer in a more modern wrapper.

Main Features

(Note that things will evolve as the project progresses).

  • The biggest and most visible change is the outgrowth of the port of Slicer's GUI from KWWidgets to Qt.
  • Move from subversion repository to git
    • During the spring/summer of 2010 both repositories will exist in parallel. During summer of 2010 code from the subversion repository will be migrated into git (retaining all revision history).
    • Currently github is hosting the git repository, but it may move to another host in the future.
  • Much of the infrastructure for the GUI will be developed jointly with the Common Toolkit (CTK) group.

Plan

  • During April and May 2010 a majority of slicer developers will be working on the Slicer 3.6 release.
  • Tutorials and breakout sessions will be held at the Summer Project Week in June.
  • Bulk of developer effort will switch to Slicer4 during the last half of 2010
  • 3D Slicer version 4.0 release date: TBD
