Description
The next OpenSlide release, 4.0.0, will include some incompatible API changes. Those shouldn't affect you directly, but as a consequence, OpenSlide's soname will change. This will change the library filename to libopenslide-1.dll on Windows, libopenslide.1.dylib on macOS, and libopenslide.so.1 on Linux. Since MONAI Label preloads the OpenSlide DLL by filename on Windows, you may want to proactively add support for the new name so MONAI Label will work with the new release.
