| |
| − | | |
| − | == Optimization ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Improved performance of the rendering pipeline by optimizing observations management

| − | * Reduced the memory footprint by fixing memory leaks
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Reduced the size of the installer
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Faster loading of the image stack (png, jpg, bmp, tiff...)
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Rendering / Visualization ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Added Multi-sampling option
| |
| − | | |
| − | == CLI / SlicerExecutionModel ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Improved [http://www.kitware.com/blog/home/post/482 CLI AutoRun] by ensuring that the slice view is not reset when inputs are updated.
| |
| − | * CLI input and output files are not removed when in developer mode
| |
| − | * Reduced the chance of crashes when CLI returns result images
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Python scripting ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Added support for real Qt resources in Python (see [http://viewvc.slicer.org/viewvc.cgi/Slicer4?view=revision&revision=23290 r23290] for details).
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Improved VTK event support by adding a way to specify the CallData type (see [https://github.com/Kitware/VTK/blob/0ed018620d0a3187ee2ed2831843132ca3337c97/Wrapping/Python/README_WRAP.txt#L266-296 here] for details).
