Version 2.27.0

The macOS package now provides universal binaries. When upgrading via Homebrew, please uninstall first before installing the upgraded version:

brew uninstall volume-cartographer
brew install --no-quarantine educelab/casks/volume-cartographer

Deprecation warning

GitHub Actions no longer provides macOS 12 (Monterey) runners or SDKs. For this release, a universal package targeting macOS 12+ has been built manually and will be installed when running the above brew command on Intel-based Macs. It can also be installed manually using the VC-2.27.0-Darwin-macOS12.zip in this release. In future releases, we will only provide a single package which support macOS 14 (Sonoma) or above.

Version 2.24.0

After many years of development in private git repositories, we are proud to announce that we have migrated Volume Cartographer to GitHub! With this release, we are transitioning all development activity to this repository, including issues, merge requests, and discussions. We look forward to working alongside the GitHub community to grow this special project.

A lot has changed in the almost two years since our last full release. Almost too much! What follows is simply a hit list of big changes. We encourage those who are curious on the details to check out the full changelog.

What's Changed (tl;dr Edition)

• Upgraded GUI apps to Qt6
• Added histogram equalization to VC to help with layer segmentation
• Added a color picker to VC for choosing the segmentation color
• Refactor the vc_canny_segment --visualize option to use Qt
• Added real-time exploration of intersections to vc_projection
• Added options to install via Homebrew and Docker

A very special thanks to @stephenrparsons who did most of the above.
