As originally discussed in hangout from [2019-03-26](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/2019-03-26-hangout/6288/2), and later tracked in issue [#4644](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/issues/4644), build reports associated with Stable and Preview builds are submitted to dedicated CDash projects hosted at `https://slicer.cdash.org`:

- [SlicerStable](https://slicer.cdash.org/index.php?project=SlicerStable)
- [SlicerPreview](https://slicer.cdash.org/index.php?project=SlicerPreview)

Now that we are moving forward with Slicer 5.0, there is no need to keep around the older `Slicer4` CDash project and it has been removed (see issue [#6063](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/issues/6063)).

For future reference, here are some historical details:

## History

The `Slicer4` project was created in Sept 2010 \[1\] and was used until Feb 2018 to organize both Stable and Nightly (now called Preview) submissions.

Then from Feb 2018 to April 2022, the `Slicer4` project was used to organize the extensions build associated with the stable release \[2\].

Between 2010 and 2022, 254367 builds have been submitted to `Slicer4` project.

Starting with Slicer 5.0, the `Slicer4` project is defunct and a new project called `SlicerStable` is used \[3\].
