• Kludge for incorrect spatial coding of GE ABCD epipolar sequence.
• Better handling of Philips enhanced DICOMs with huge headers.
• Consistent conversion of Philips DWI regardless of instance numbers. For Philips R5.6 and later, volumes are sorted in acquired temporal order.
• Consistent (temporal) ordering of Philips enhanced and classic DICOMs.
• Improved heuristics for determining whether trigger time should be ignored or segmented for various Philips modalities and sequences: issues 395, 428, 499, 506, 533.
• Improved Siemens MoCo detection to reduce false alarm warnings.
• Default behavior is now to preserve original datatype (-l o): UINT16 datatype preserved. Previous behavior was to convert UINT16 to INT16 if this could be achieved losslessly (-l n). Previous method could create issues for tools like AFNI if some runs in a series were UINT16 (unsupported by AFNI so promoted to FLOAT32) and others were INT16. dcm2niix users have received warnings of this upcoming change in default behavior since Fall 2019.
