ITK Version 4
This work is supported by ARRA funding from the NLM. The kick-off meeting for this project took place from June 28-July 2 2010 in Bethesda. A beta version of the software will be available by the end of March 2011. Bug fixes will continue to be contributed to the ITK version 3 code.
Revision Control
- Adopt a modern revision control system
- Move from cvs to git for distributed source code management
Code Review
Modern C++
- Take advantage of advances in C++
- Target popular compilers that are compatible with the C++98 and/or C++03 standard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B03#Language_standard).

Wrapping
- Improved ITK Wrapping
- Wrapping
- Particularly for Python
Simplify
- Addition of Simple ITK Layer
- A matlab-like interface to ITK
Modularize
- Refactor for Modularity
- ITKCore, ITKRegistrationModule, and Optional Modules
Improve Software Process
- Enhanced project management tools and software processes
Data Management
- Better management for Testing Data
Testing Framework
- New unit testing framework based on Google Test
- Particularly to support module development, testing, and maintenance
