Notes:

Release Name: 4.2.0

Notes:


New Features




  • Experimental support for free rotation of the main image (Tools->Image Free Rotation...)

    • Polygon and paintbrush tools can be applied from oblique rotation angles



  • Native support for 32 and 64 bit floating point images

    • Previously, these images were represented internally as 16 bit integer, with rounding errors

    • NaN (not a number) values are supported, custom color can be assigned in the color map



  • Performance improvements:

    • Faster image load times made possible by efficient computatation of histogram and quantiles using the tdigest data structure

    • Faster rendering of large 2D images



  • Image IO Improvements:

    • NRRD Volume Sequence Reading

    • 4DCTA auto format detection now can detect wider range of images



  • Improvements to label definitions file IO:

    • A new submenu (Segmentation->Label Definitions includes recent items submenu)

    • Label definitions can be loaded by drag & drop



  • New commands for reloading image layers (in context menus and layer editor):

    • Main image and overlay can be reloaded from disk without closing the workspace

    • 4D (3D+time) images can be reloaded as multi-component images and vice versa



  • Added options to compose and invert transforms to the "open transform" dialog in the registration panel

  • Added a hotkey to switch between background & foreground labels

  • Added a hotkey to toggle continuous update of 3D rendering

  • More accurate UI text for loading/saving 3d/4d segmentations in 4d workspace

  • Multiple segmentation images can be loaded from the command line

  • Workspace tool itksnap-wt includes new commands for mesh layers



Bug Fixes




  • Closing main image from layer context menu now will correctly prompt saving changes for overlay layers

  • Loading 3d segmentation into a 4d time point no longer prompts warning, if the time point does not have unsaved changes

  • Now correctly displaying deformation grid for image layers displayed on top of main image
