      <title>TurtleSeg 1.2 released!</title>

      <description>
        &lt;p&gt;
        We are pleased to announce that version 1.2 of TurtleSeg, the interactive 3D image segmentation software, is now available for download &lt;a href="http://www.turtleseg.org/index.php?page=download"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.
        &lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;
          &lt;b&gt;New Features&lt;/b&gt;
          &lt;ul&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;Support for multi-label segmentation.  This functionality can be accessed from the new "Labels" sidebar panel.&lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;The volume of the current segmentation can now be calculated and displayed in the "Actions/View Segmentation Statistics" menu option.&lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;3D segmentation generation now learns intensity prior information from existing user contours.  This will result in improved 3D segmentation quality.&lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;Improved [optional] mesh smoothing of segmentation results.&lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;Added ability to export segmentation mask images to NIfTI image file format.&lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;Icons added to the left menu bar for more intuitive navigation.&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;/ul&gt;
        &lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;
          &lt;b&gt;Bug Fixes&lt;/b&gt;
          &lt;ul&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;TurtleSeg now installs by default to "Program Files" in the 64-bit version instead of "Program Files (x86)".&lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;TurtleSeg now properly supports images with arbitrary orientation (such as those specified in NIfTI files).&lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;TurtleSeg now identifies and loads only the files pertaining to a specific DICOM series.&lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;Double-clicking a Turtle Map line segment to view it will no longer disorientingly rotate the current slice view.  Another slice view will be used instead of the one the segment was selected on.&lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;Spotlight will now give a message when it has no suggestions, instead of silently failing.&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;/ul&gt;
        &lt;/p&gt;

          TurtleSeg has recently been added to the free and open source medical imaging software website, &lt;a href="http://www.idoimaging.com/index.shtml"&gt;I Do Imaging&lt;/a&gt;.   TurtleSeg is listed as one of the twelve programs available for image segmentation.  A direct link to TurtleSeg's page on I Do Imaging can be found &lt;a href="http://www.idoimaging.com/program/398"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.

          We are always trying to improve TurtleSeg.  Recently, we've sent an e-mail to downloaders of TurtleSeg with a &lt;a href="https://websurvey.sfu.ca/cgi-bin/WebObjects/WebSurvey.woa/wa/survey?81951167"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt; to a public survey.  We will use the feedback in order to prioritize our future work on the next TurtleSeg version.  Thank you to all who fill out the survey!
        &lt;/p&gt;
