Open-source release of fits2itk
19 April 2007
Source code for fits2itk is now available. See the Download section of fits2itk for more details.
New version of fits2itk for Linux available
5 April 2007
The Linux binary executable for fits2itk should now run on more variants of Linux. To download it, go to the fits2itk page.
Note for those who are interested in the gory details: The new executable was built on CentOS 4.4 (a free "rebuild" of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4) rather than Fedora Core 6, which was used to build the previously available Linux executable. FC6 is much more "bleeding edge" than RHEL4, and consequently, executables built on FC6 run on fewer variants of Linux than executables built on RHEL4/CentOS 4.
