MRtrix 3.0.7 release

We are pleased to announce the immediate release of MRtrix 3.0.7.

This is a bug fix release, fixing a couple of issues that have become apparent since the release of version 3.0.5. We recommend users upgrade as soon as practical, using the instructions provided on our downloads pages (for precompiled packages), or the usual procedure for installations from source.

Note that we had released version 3.0.6 recently, but since further issues came to light soon after, we decided to fix those issues quickly and release this version. We recommend anyone who has recently installed versions 3.0.5 or 3.0.6 upgrade to 3.0.7 as soon as possible.

See the full changelog for details.

All the best from the MRtrix3 team!

Bug fixes

  • Fixes to external phase encoding table handling
    This fixes residual issues with the handling of phase encoding data (as suspected following #3122 and reported in #3127).

    The issue was that when combining data with more complex phase encoding contrast than just reversal, results from dwifslpreproc were OK if the NIfTI was left-handed but erroneous if right-handed. This has been corrected and verified with extensive testing, and everything should now be handled correctly.

  • Generate correct applytopup_config.txt
    This provides a workaround for #3122, which relates to the phase encoding table handling issues mentioned above.

  • dwifslpreproc & mrcat: strides fix
    Fixed issue with improper correction of susceptibility distortions in ddwifslpreproc, caused by trying to use the phase encoding directions k and k- when invoking applytopup, which is presumably deemed unacceptable internally by applytopup.
