ANNOUNCEMENT
Version 3.5.0 of the OFFIS DCMTK (DICOM ToolKit) software is now available
for public release. This release includes the following main changes
over the previous version (Version 3.4.2):
- The DICOM data dictionary has been re-worked based on the latest
supplements and correction proposals, as usual.
- A new module DCMIMAGE has been added that enhances the DCMIMGLE module
with color capabilities (all uncompressed color models).
- The new command line tool "dcm2pnm" converts a DICOM image to the general-
purpose PGM/PPM format. Unlike "dcmp2pgm", it does not support
presentation states, instead it handles color, overlays, multiframe and
allows to rotate/flip/scale images upon conversion.
- A new module DCMSIGN has been added that implements experimental support
for DICOM Digital Signatures in conformance with Supplement 41.
WARNING: This module currently implements working draft 09 of DICOM
Supplement 41. Digital signatures generated with this version will be
incompatible with the final text of Supplement 41!
- A new module DCMSR has been added that implements high-level support for
DICOM Structured Reporting (Basic Text SR, Enhanced SR, Comprehensive
SR). Sample applications that convert SR documents into plain text,
HTML and XML respectively, are provided.
- Implemented a global flag in the DCMNET module and command line option to
disable reverse DNS hostname lookup when accepting associations.
- Many bug fixes and minor improvements as usual - See the dcmtk/CHANGES
file for more details.
