Q: What's with all of these versions of dcm4che?
A: dcm4che 1.x is the DICOM toolkit that is currently used by the dcm4chee-2.x (formerly called dcm4jboss) archive system. The dcm4che-2.x (also known as dcm4che2) toolkit is a re-write of the dcm4che-1.x DICOM toolkit. It will be integrated into the dcm4chee archive at some point in the future. The dcm4che-1.x DICOM toolkit is currently in maintenance mode, so new DICOM toolkit users should concentrate on the 2.x version. The dcm4chee-3.x archive will be the next generation of the archive system. It is being developed in components (currently the Audit Record Repository - ARR is in progress) which will likely be merged piecemeal into the dcm4chee-2.x archive, eventually replacing the 2.x line.
