Summary
The community of Slicer developers is proud to announce the release of Slicer Nightly.
- Slicer Nightly introduces
- An improved App Store, known as the Extension Manager, for adding plug-ins to Slicer. More than 80 plug-ins and packages of plug-ins are currently available.
- Close to 150 feature improvements and bug fixes have resulted in improved performance and stability.
- Improvements to many modules.
- Click here to download Slicer Nightly for different platforms and find pointers to the source code, mailing lists and the bug tracker.
- Please note that Slicer continues to be a research package and is not intended for clinical use. Testing of functionality is an ongoing activity with high priority, however, some features of Slicer are not fully tested.
- The Slicer Training page provides a series of tutorials and data sets for training in the use of Slicer.
slicer.org is the portal to the application, training materials, and the development community.
What is 3D Slicer
3D Slicer is:
- A software platform for the analysis (including registration and interactive segmentation) and visualization (including volume rendering) of medical images and for research in image guided therapy.
- A free, open source software available on multiple operating systems: Linux, MacOSX and Windows
- Extensible, with powerful plug-in capabilities for adding algorithms and applications.
Features include:
- Multi organ: from head to toe.
- Support for multi-modality imaging including, MRI, CT, US, nuclear medicine, and microscopy.
- Bidirectional interface for devices.
There is no restriction on use, but Slicer is not approved for clinical use and intended for research. Permissions and compliance with applicable rules are the responsibility of the user. For details on the license see here

Looking at the Code Changes
From a git checkout you can easily see the all the commits since the time of the 4.4.0 release:
git log v4.3.0..HEAD
To see a summary of your own commits, you could use something like:
git log v4.3.0..HEAD --oneline --author=pieper
see the git log man page for more options.
