Progress of external projects with downloads:
| External project | Clone from official repo | Clone from fork | Upstream pull request | Version update | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ANN | Technically not a fork since the original source code only exists as archive from 2010. Patch is mainly a CMake build system. | ||||
| CppUnit | Patch is a CMake build system. | ||||
| Qwt | v6.1.5 v6.2.0 | Patch is mainly a CMake build system. | |||
| ITK | 3527 | ||||
| Boost | |||||
| CTK | 7210c5bc (Nov 8, 2020) ec816cbb (May 17, 2022) | ||||
| CTK PythonQt | 85 | ||||
| DCMTK | v3.6.6 v.3.6.7 | ||||
| Eigen | |||||
| v3.0.10 v3.13.1 | Use ITK's version of GDCM. | ||||

| PCRE | |||||
| Poco | v1.9.0 v1.12.2 | Update necessary for Ubuntu 22.04 due to OpenSSL v3 compatibility. | |||
| SWIG | |||||
| TinyXML-2 | We stay at v8.0.0 instead of upgrading to v9.0.0 since v8.1.0 introduced CMake bugs and v8.0.0 works fine for us. | ||||
| Vigra | We use ancient version of both Vigra and HDF5 but for now it is better not to touch anything as long as it is working. It's a wasp nest. | ||||
