Work in progress: The release is not out yet, these notes may change
This is the 2016.03 release of the MITK release cycle. You find a list of new features, bug fixes and known issues below:
What is included?
Binary installers for Windows, Linux, and OS X are provided, which contain the MITK Workbench application. In addition to image loading/saving and level windowing, the following plugins are included:
- Volume Visualization
- Measurement

- Remeshing
- Pointset Interaction
- Image Cropper
- View Navigator
- Screenshot Maker
- Movie Maker
- experimental DICOM Query/Retrieve (based on components from the Common Toolkit CTK)

How to get it?
Please have a look at the download page.
Highlights of 2016.03 release
Build system
- Qt 4 support was dropped completely
- Qt 5 is supported up to version 5.5 (MITK Python components up to version 5.4)
- Boost (header-only part) is a core dependency now
- CMake 3.2 still is the minimum required version
- Minimum required compiler versions (no changes):
- GNU 4.7.3
- Clang 3.4
- AppleClang 5.0
- MSVC 2012 (deprecated, will be MSVC 2013 in next release)
Core modules
BlueBerry
Removed Functionality
The registration plugin has been retired from the binary release due to some issues with the usability. It will be completely replaced with a better alternative in the near future.
Changed API
- Subtle changes in public interface of mitk::DataInteractor (see migration example):
- Get/SetDataNode() method signatures changed from mitk::DataNode::Pointer to native pointers
- NodeType typedef was removed
- mitk::DisplayGeometry has been removed alongside the old interaction system
- A description of the rationale, removed classes and a migration guide can be found at Display_Geometry_Interaction_Project
New Features
Modules
Please see MITK_IGT_ReleaseNotes_2016.03.
MITK Workbench
Third-Party Toolkits
The following toolkits were updated:
- Boost 1.59
- CTK b721b7ca
- Poco 1.6.1
The following third-party toolkits were added to the MITK superbuild:
- VMTK (vtk6 branch, 90e0233)
Deprecated Functionality
The documentation contains a detailed list of deprecated functionality.
Major changes ahead
- We are working on the migration of MITK to some up-to-date third-party toolkit versions, in particular ITK 4.9, VTK 7, and Qt 5.6.
- As Qt 5.6 is the first LTS release since Qt 4.8 and has breaking changes compared to Qt 5.5, we will require Qt 5.6 as minimal required version. Qt 5.6 is not yet supported, though.
- We will drop MSVC 2012 support.
Bugfixes
In the 7 months since the last release 180 bugs were fixed.
