Jul 11, 2008: vmtk-0.7rc released!

The "rc" stands for release candidate, meaning that everything should work as in 0.7 final, but there might be glitches that could be ironed out following feedback from users. At the moment this is a source release only, but we should get cool binary Ubuntu 8.04 packages very soon (many thanks to Johannes Ring from Simula, www.simula.no).

The big thing in 0.7, besides a lot of fixes and improvements, is the mesh generator. Now it is possible to obtain a CFD-ready mesh directly from vmtk. First action item next week is to update the documentation with these new features. Now it's time for weekend.

Jul 2, 2008: ASME Summer Bioengineering Conference 2008

The vmtk workshop has been held at ASME Summer Bioengineering Conference on Saturday June 28th, 2008. We'd like to thank the 30+ people that stuck with us from 9 to 12, I hope you had fun as much as we did. You can get the slides from the workshop here.

Jul 2, 2008: New vmtk.org domain

Encouraged by the great feedback at the ASME SBC 2008 vmtk workshop, we've decided to register the vmtk.org domain (check your address bar) and set up a new wiki engine for it. Right now the other locations (vmtk.sourceforge.net and villcamozzi.marionegri.it/~luca/vmtk) will automatically redirect here, and search engines should start indexing soon. A first advantage of the new wiki (PmWiki) is that now printing and text search behave properly.
From now on, please use www.vmtk.org to reference vmtk in your papers.
