[wahln]

matRad 3.2.0 introduces several improvements and updates across the codebase, including the addition of an interface to FRED MC (if installed), VHEE planning, enhancements to DICOM and DVH handling, updates to developer attribution, and example script improvements. We welcome four new contributors (check AUTHORS.txt) responsible for some of the changes listed below.

Main New Features

• FRED MC interface (if installed)
• VHEE planning with a Generic (unfocused) beam and a focused beam. The Generic beam can be forwarded to TOPAS as well.
• New matRad_plotSlice function with keyword / value synxtax for more intuitive plotting of slices

Fixes, Performance and User Experience

• DICOM Import/Export fixes
• various GUI fixes to reduce warnings / errors and usage in MATLAB Online
• Available Classes (e.g., dose engines) are now cached for faster loading
• New Examples
• Improved CI workflows

For details check CHANGELOG.md.

Standalone

In addition to the Matlab source code, this release also contains updated installers that can provide a standalone version (e.g., for educational purposes). The standalone only features the graphical user interface, and not all new features are accessible. We also have an experimental Docker Container.
