Slicer4:Developers
Do not expect to be able to use this page until late 2010 or early 2011 - many things are changing rapidly within the slicer4 code base so just watch the 'public' developer information, until there is a more definitive set of instructions.
For now, refer to the 3D Slicer Status Presentation from the June 2010 Project Week for planning and transition information.
Work on 3D Slicer version 4 has begun in June of 2010. It is expected that Slicer4 will be released in 2011. Please see the Slicer4 Description Page for detailed information on the current plans.
- For information about older versions of Slicer, see here.
