Whole-slide imaging plugin 4.0 and Education plugin 1.2

Dear all,

It is my pleasure to announce the simultaneous release of the whole-slide microscopic imaging plugin 4.0 and of the education plugin 1.2 for Orthanc.

These releases mainly revolve around the support for annotations on whole-slide images. The whole-slide imaging plugin now provides a user interface to draw and organize annotations into layers, with support for sharing annotations between instructors and learners.

The education plugin integrates with these features to provide per-user annotations and separate annotation workspaces for each course. Sharing can be controlled according to the role of the user, making it possible to support both instructor-led teaching and collaborative exercises between learners. Annotations are persistent in the Orthanc database.

These new features are described in the Orthanc Book.

Some fixes are included as well. Check out the full release notes at:

Enjoy,
Sébastien-
