shakes76@stage.nitrcce.org (Shekhar Chandra) — Mon, 16 Oct 2017 10:06:00 GMT

New Features - sMILX:
Added resetting of GUI settings etc. Just in case user takes toolbars etc. offscreen or losing them.

New Features SMILI Library:
Added Find SMILI CMake config file for projects using SMILI.
Added Python script to test smilx features.
Bug fixes:
Fixed Mac OSX plugin paths for running from source builds.
Made the blending to use a default colourmap map. Instead of just warning of unexpected results.
Fixed overlay on images not working due to integer image changes.
Fixed label vis app to support new integer image type.
Minimum Dependencies:
VTK 5.8, ITK 4.9, Qt 4.8
Recommended Dependencies:
VTK 5: VTK 5.8.0, ITK 4.10, Qt 4.8, PythonQt 2.1, FFMPEG 1.2, FFTW 3.3
VTK 6: VTK 6.3.0, ITK 4.10, Qt 4.8, PythonQt 2.1, FFMPEG 1.2, FFTW 3.3
NiftyReg: 390df2baaf809a625ed5afe0dbc81ca6a3f7c647
For the SSM plugin, you will need VTK 5.8.0. To get a updated version of VTK 5.8.0, see my [VTK 5 related blog post](http://l3mmings.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/vtk-5-and-ffmpeg-shenanigans-on-windows.html). VTK 5.10.1 will also work for the SSM plugin, but is known to have image display bugs.
Important Notes about Dependencies and OSes:
VTK 5.10.1 and VTK 6+ will also work, but is known to have image display bugs.
Mac OSX support is limited because of availability of machines to the developer and restrictive Apple EULAs. Builds and plugins work correctly on local builds. DMG installers have issues with plugins at the moment.
Installers/Binaries Notes:
See [YouTube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j95C1Y3swfw&t=2s) showing the shape modelling feature. The USB key installer is for those who have issues with installers or don't like installers or need portable running versions of SMILI. These also provide shared libraries for development.
Other binaries and installers for other OSes will be added over time.

smili Version 1.0 Release Candidate 2

shakes76@stage.nitrcce.org (Shekhar Chandra) — Thu, 15 Sep 2016 5:37:00 GMT

SMILI Release Candidate 2

- This version fixes a couple of issues on Linux platforms for filenames and paths
- Minor bug fixes to volume rendering and DICOM code
- Volume rendering improvements. Requires VTK 6+ OpenGL 2 backend for GPU enabled rendering.
- Improved onscreen label visualisation.
- Improved command line arguments for the model and DICOM apps
- Added support for legacy unstructured grid files
- Thresholding limits input in SMILX fixed
Plugins are currently not being shipped in the Mac installers, as there are issues with the DragNDrop creator not working properly (with the current SMILI configuration) and this causes link errors. This will hopefully be fixed in the next release.
Ubuntu 16.04 support will be improved with VTK 6 installer once SMILI's Qt 5 support is completed. Right now the Ubuntu 16.04 installer uses VTK 5.10, which has a known bug for gamma control for images not working correctly.

smili Version 1.0 Release Candidate

shakes76@stage.nitrcce.org (Shekhar Chandra) — Sun, 13 Mar 2016 0:41:00 GMT

SMILI Release Candidate 1

This version fixes a couple of issues on Windows on Mac platforms.
- Screenshot crash in sMILX has been fixed. Caused by offscreen rendering not working sometimes for Windows and Mac.
- Fixed Windows crash for vector images. Appears to have been caused by ITK 4.7. Upgraded to ITK 4.8.2.
Registration plugin has issues on Windows (DLL link error caused by the installer). A USB-stick version of SMILI will be provided shortly to allow users to use the plugin on Windows (marked '-Reg'). Ubuntu versions are unaffected.
