Hi FreeSurfer community,
I have a question about the current dev release - how different is the new 'stable'
release going to be different from it?
Is it mostly stability and compatibility between different platforms issue?
Or are the actual processing or computational steps going to be different also?
Can I start processing some brains using dev release and then continue processing
using new 'stable' release?
Or process half of my images with dev release and the other half with new 'stable'
release and then do some inter-group comparisons?
And another small question - should I also use Red Hat 9 download for Linux
Fedora Core 3?
Thank you.
Regards,
Renat.

Probably not very different, but we are still working on a few critical bug fixes, and adding some final touches to the GUI programs.

The nature of the bug fixes might make this a problem. In general we don't recommend mixing versions within the same study or series of result comparisons. We are working on improving our ability to detect changes in results from version to version, but we're not there yet.
