5
+ First release.
6
+ The library offers bare-bones functionality and should be usable for people interested in working with NIfTI files in Ruby. The code is 98% documented according to rdoc and should hopefully be clear and straightforward to read, use and fork.

8
+ Known issues:
9
+ * Speed and Memory usage: This thing is really, really slow when packing and unpacking image data into arrays, and I've seen a single 40MB image explode into ~6GB of in-use memory.
10
+ * Only tested with little-endian, signed short, 3d and 4d images.
11
+ * No interfaces for viewing image data (qt, NImage, etc.). The easiest way right now is to save out the nifti and then use another image viewing program.
12
+ * Only supports .nii (n+1) single image files, not a split .img/.hdr
13
+ * Vox_offset is not being updated during writing, so this will cause a problem if image length or extended header length is updated.
