XNAT 1.8.9.2 and Multiple Plugins Released
XNAT 1.8.9.2 Is Now Available
XNAT 1.8.9.2 is a hotfix release addressing a critical bug in the way DicomEdit scripts are applied when custom processing is enabled on a DICOM SCP receiver. This bug was introduced in XNAT 1.7.6, with the release of the custom processors feature, and primarily impacts users of the DICOM Query-Retrieve plugin.
None of the standard import methods are affected, including DICOM C-STORE without custom processing enabled, XNAT Desktop Client, Compressed Uploader, and the import REST API.
Full details are available in our XNAT 1.8.9.2 Release Notes.
Upgrading is (fairly) easy!
The upgrade path from XNAT 1.8.x to XNAT 1.8.9.2 is as easy as configuring your war file for the version of Tomcat you're running and dropping the new war file in place. Upgrading from the XNAT 1.7.x line is only mildly more arduous. See the XNAT Upgrade Instructions.
