Kitware and the Insight Toolkit (ITK) team are pleased to announce ITK 4.4.0! The tarballs can be downloaded on the Sourceforge page. Major changes made in this release are detailed below, and there will be an ITK 4.4.0 release webinar on Tuesday, June 11th at 3PM ET to provide an overview of the new version. To take part, join the “ITK BarCamp” GooglePlus community, and join the “What’s New in Release 4.4.0” event.

This version has new MINC, SCIFIO, and DCMTK support, as well as the usual performance improvements and bugfixes.  There is, however, a known issue in Debug mode under Visual Studio which is already fixed and available in nightlies, and will be part of the soon-to-come 4.4.1.
