ANNOUNCEMENT
Version 3.3 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 3.2.1):
- Improved support for Windows95/NT with project makefiles for
Microsoft Visual C++ 4.0
- Fixes several problems related to opening files and networking
under Windows95/NT.
- Fixes several problems related to incorrect encoding of group length
attributes, sequences and item lengths.
- Improved data dictionary support. The data dictionary is now
implemented as a hash table with an optimised hash function. Loading
a data dictionary is now 4 times faster.
- Provides a new framework for pixel data codecs (e.g. the JPEG processes).
This includes the new classes DcmPixelData, DcmCodec and supporters
but does not yet include any specific compression codec code.
- Provides an emulation of ANSI-C++ string, list and stack classes.
- Various bug-fixes detected during and after the CAR'97 DICOM Demonstration.
See the dcmtk/CHANGES file for more details.
