[ITK-users] [ANNOUNCE] ITK 4.8.0 Release Candidate 3 is ready for testing!

Sat Jun 27 21:56:23 EDT 2015

Hi Ariel,

Yes, the new Python support is very exciting :-)!

Thank you for testing and reporting your results.  The GDCM test
segmentation faults should be fix with RC3.  I am not sure about the
QuickViewTest, but it commonly throws false positives.  What version of VTK
did you build against?

Thanks,
Matt
