Hi everyone!

5.2.2 is the last release on witch Chest Imaging Platform is available in Extension Manager.  
On 5.3.0 and 5.4.0 you can only install Lung segmenter as a part of CIP.

There are no more updates for module planned?  
MIP viewer was very useful…

Best,  
Nikolai

That is weird, actually, I have no idea why this happened…

CIP is [continuously developed](https://github.com/acil-bwh/ChestImagingPlatform/commits/develop) and there are ongoing efforts to secure dedicated funding for reworking/modernizing it. The commit history may be misleading, as development happens in `develop` branch and not in `master`.

CIP is available for the previous stable release (Slicer-5.2.2):

CIP has had a [build error on Slicer-5.4/5.5 due to some optimization of include files in Slicer core](https://slicer.cdash.org/viewBuildError.php?buildid=3150082). I’ve [fixed the issue](https://github.com/acil-bwh/SlicerCIP/commit/33258fe757304d1570ef9b34fd3fe562b8ee44a5) now, so Chest\_Imaging\_Platform extension should be available for Slicer-4.4/4.5 from tomorrow.
