1.1.0#

Enhancements#

  • UID.__str__ no longer returns the UID name (when known). The UID name is still available using the UID.name property.

  • Dataset equality now only compares the dataset’s DataElements (#464)

  • the codify script now supports VRs OD and OL, and works in Python 3 (#498); documentation has been added for codify

  • the performance for reading and writing datasets has been improved to be better than in pydicom 0.9.9 (#605, #512)

  • added support for bit-packed pixel data (#292)

  • updated DICOM dictionary for 2018b edition

  • added full API documentation to pydicom documentation (#649)

Fixes#

  • UID should behave as expected for a python str subclass (#256)

  • group length elements in groups above 0x0006 removed on writing (#32)

  • fixed write_PN raising a TypeError when called with a non-iterable encoding parameter (#489)

  • fixed padding for some odd-sized image data (#599)

  • removed unneeded warning for incorrect date string length (#597)

  • fixed Dataset not slicing correctly when an (0xFFFF,0xFFFF) element is present (#92)

  • use correct VR for unknown private tags and private creators (#620)

  • fixed crash on reading RGB data with implicit VR (#620)

  • parent encoding was not used in sequences without own encoding (#625)

  • fixed error handling for values too large to fit in VR IS (#640)

Other#

  • A deprecation warning has been added for UID.__eq__ and UID.__ne__ when comparing UID == [UID name] and UID != [UID name]. Starting in v1.2, UID equality and inequality comparisons will return False when performing the equivalent of UID == [UID name] and UID != [UID name], respectively. E.g. UID(‘1.2.840.10008.1.1’) == ‘Verification SOP Class’ will return False. Use UID.name == [UID name] instead.
