ITK-SNAP 3.4.0-rc1

[Paul Yushkevich]

Dear ITK-SNAP Community,

We are moving closer to the next release of ITK-SNAP. Version 3.4.0-rc1 (release candidate 1) is now available to download. This version fixes a number of bugs reported in the 3.4.0-beta version announced in August.

Important Note:

The beta version released in August had compatibility issues with some of the users' computer hardware. Examples included crashes when opening ITK-SNAP, blank windows, unresponsive buttons, etc. Most of these issues stemmed from the use of Qt 5.4 as the GUI platform. 

To address these issues, the latest release candidate 3.4.0-rc1 is offered in two flavors: Qt 5.4 based and Qt 4.8 based. Both flavors are available on our download page.

• Windows and MacOS users should first try installing the default Qt 5.4-based flavor. If there are problems with graphics display or crashes, try the Qt 4.8-based flavor instead.

• Linux users who run ITK-SNAP over remote connections (with SSH, X2GO or NX) should use the Qt 4.8-based flavor. Qt 5.4 does not play well with these technologies.

There are few differences between the flavors, except look and feel. The 5.4-based flavor generally looks slicker, and takes advantage of Retina displays on the Mac.

Please continue to send in your bug reports and success stories. 

Thanks!

Hi Guido,

For some reason, the regular 11am meetings are no longer on my calendar. Do you want to talk today at 11am? Or 1pm? Either way would work for me. 

Thanks!
Paul

Hi Paul, I have a biweekly meeting with Yang at 1pm. I could do 11am but don't know if Yang would see this message on time. We could do a quick call anyway to follow-up. Guido

[Paul Yushkevich]

Guido,

I think it would be good to hear from Yang. He was going to get some Brats data and play around with it. Can we connect towards the end of your 1pm meeting?

Thanks!
Paul

Paul, I cc Yang to see if he can do it around 2pm. Guido
