🛠 Third-party dependency changes

In an effort to make MITK compatible with recent compiler versions, we upgraded a few dependencies.

At least on Ubuntu, we highly recommend to upgrade Qt to v6.6.2 or later, since with Qt v6.6.1, the MITK Workbench spams warnings related to GLEW into the terminal.

✨ New features

• Added the following command-line apps to our official installers:
  • GenericFittingMiniApp: Make a pixel-based fitting on the intensity signal over time for a given model function.
  • PixelDumpMiniApp: Dump (potentially masked) pixel values of passed images into a CSV file.
  • Fuse3Dto4DImageMiniApp: Fuse several 3-d images with the same geometry into a dynamic 4-d (3d+t) image.
• Made MITK compatible to recent compiler versions
• Visibility of toolbars can now be set in preferences
• Qt command-line arguments for GUI applications are supported now in the MITK Workbench and alike
• MITK extensions
  • Dependencies of MITK's third-party dependencies are customizable now
  • mitkFunctionAddExternalProject() supports the PREPEND argument now
  • Doxygen's EXAMPLE_PATH is customizable now

🐛 Bugfixes

• Added the MitkLog module to a few whitelists that had not been updated when mbilog moved from MitkCore into MitkLog
• Touch events are no longer being handled as mouse events, for example when using a touch pad on a MacBook, which constantly interacted with the scene in the 3-d render window
• MITK Workbench and alike: unknown or invalid command-line arguments do not result in crashes anymore
• On Linux, if not requested explicitly otherwise, use the "xcb" instead of the "wayland" Qt platform, which seems not to be fully compatible with our mix of VTK and Qt
• A few non-GUI unit tests that rely on Qt use the "minimal" Qt platform now for better compatibility
• Removed EGL as default option for the VTK build

🔥 API-breaking changes

MITK-IGT moved into separate MITK extension

Everything related to image-guided therapy (IGT) moved into an MITK extension, whose repository will be available on GitHub soon. Until then, MITK-IGT can be accessed temporarily via rIGT MITK-IGT.

MITK-IGT consists of the following dependencies, modules, and plugins, which are no longer available directly in MITK:

Third-party dependencies

• OpenIGTLink

Modules

• OpenIGTLink
• IGTBase
• IGT
• CameraCalibration
• OpenCVVideoSupport
• ToFHardware
• ToFProcessing
• ToFUI
• US
• USUI
• OpenIGTLinkUI
• IGTUI

Plugins

• org.mitk.gui.qt.igtexamples
• org.mitk.gui.qt.igttracking
• org.mitk.gui.qt.openigtlink
• org.mitk.gui.qt.toftutorial
• org.mitk.gui.qt.tofutil
• org.mitk.gui.qt.ultrasound
• org.mitk.gui.qt.igt.app.ultrasoundtrackingnavigation
• org.mitk.gui.qt.igt.app.hummelprotocolmeasurements
