Slicer4:Developers
Slicer 4 is now at the stage where developers can begin to port their modules from Slicer3 to Slicer4. If you are working on extensions, you should continue to use Slicer 3 as your target platform. If you are not sure, ask us.
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.
