http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=572 The BioImage Suite team is pleased to announce the release of the second beta (testing) version of BioImage Suite 2.6. This release contains everything that will be in the official 2.6 release projected to be released early next month. BioImage Suite v2.6 is an update of version 2.6b1 release in July 2008. The main features of this release are: * Improvements of the DTI tools to better integrate with the viewers * New Multi-b value tensor fitting tool (in experimental mode, enable by setting the EnableBetaFeatures flag under Advanced/Miscellaneous to on). Any feedback on this module will be particularly appreciated * Explore mode in Fiber Tracking where if enabled simply pressing the mouse button somewhere in the three orthogonal slices will quickly initiate a new fiber tracking. This enables better exploration of the data * Updates to our FSL interface to account for changes as part of FSL release 4.1. * As an additional tool we provide a custom windows version of FSL bet that can be used with BioImage Suite under Windows.

We anticipate that this is will be the final beta release for this version and that the official release of BioImage Suite 2.6 will be made early next month. Work is also progressing on BioImage Suite 3.0 -- we anticipate a first alpha release later in 2008.
