__NOTOC__

Starting with v2021.10, a new version of MITK is released every six months, in April and October.
−
The MITK toolkit is released in snapshots every 3-4 months. The focus of the snapshots is the toolkit. They contain the source code and binary packages of an application for image viewing, measurement and segmentation.
 
  
−
Apart from the snapshots several projects release specific application versions and configurations like [[DiffusionImaging|Diffusion Imaging]].
+
Between these official release dates, MITK has multiple unstable snapshot releases.

== Version scheme ==
 
−
Toolkit versions of MITK consist of three components, defined in CMake/mitkSetupVariables.cmake and accessible through <code><nowiki>MITKConfig.cmake</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>mitkConfig.h</nowiki></code>
 
−
 
 
−
* '''MITK_VERSION_MAJOR''': Year of the release
 
−
* '''MITK_VERSION_MINOR''': Month of the release (two digits)
 
−
* '''MITK_VERSION_PATCH''': Numbering of releases in this month:
 
−
** <code><nowiki>.0</nowiki></code> is the first one,
 
−
** <code><nowiki>.2</nowiki></code> the second one (based on <code><nowiki>.0</nowiki></code>, not HEAD)
 
−
** odd numbers specifying development versions
 
−
 
 
−
<code><nowiki>2012.02.0</nowiki></code> is the first snapshot release in February 2012. Bugfix releases for this will be called <code><nowiki>2012.02.2</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>2012.02.4</nowiki></code> ... .

=== Why is there no MITK 1.0? ===
 
−
MITK as a toolkit is mature and usable for some time now. Somehow we "missed" releasing a specific version as 1.0 . Since 1.0 mostly has a political and cultural meaning (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versioning#Version_1.0_as_a_milestone Wikipedia] on this) we decided to skip 1.0 and move to a date-based versioning scheme for the toolkit.
 
−
 
 
−
Still there will be 1.0 releases of applications based on MITK.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
=== Old versions ===
 
−
The old versioning scheme created some confusion, so we will give a short overview on the existing versions so far:
 
−
{| border="1" width=100% cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"
 
−
| 0.10, 0.12, 0.12.2, 0.14
 
−
| Official releases
 
−
|-
 
−
| 0.99.x
 
−
| Snapshot releases that were intended as previews of MITK 1.0 . These are completely outdated, see above
 
−
|-
 
−
| 0.15.1
 
−
| This is the current master/trunk/HEAD release, following our old versioning scheme. As soon as we have completely moved to the new scheme this number will not appear anywhere anymore.
 
−
|}
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
=== Other versions ===
 
−
Tags named "releases/snapshot-YYYYMMDD" are usually created for projects using MITK which need to permanently mark a specific version of MITK. Please be aware that these releases are not always fully tested since most projects only use parts of MITK.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
== Version control ==
 
−
New versions will be put in branches named releases/2012-02 during development and tagged after the release. More detailed information will be put here and on the download page.
