## History

In 2013, this Slicer module called "Data Store" was created. It allowed to easily
upload, download and browse [MRB][mrb] files stored in a remote database that was
available at `https://slicer.kitware.com/midas3/folder/1555`. Source code of the module
was stored in the [Slicer/Slicer-DataStore][slicer-datastore-module] GitHub project.

In March 2020, the Slicer community decided (see issue [Slicer/Slicer#4602][slicer-issue-4602])
to retire the DataStore module and instead store the corresponding data files as GitHub release
assets into the [Slicer/SlicerDataStore][slicerdatastore] GitHub project.

In September 2021, the [Slicer legacy extensions catalog][slicer-extensions-legacy-webapp]
has been updated (see issue [Slicer/Slicer#5845][slicer-issue-5845]) to include the
`/midas3/slicerdatastore` and `/midas3/slicerdatastore/user/login` endpoints displaying
instructions referencing the GitHub release assets. Additionally, the "Data Store" module
was improved to set the legacy website theme based on the select Slicer style (`Dark Slicer`
vs `Light Slicer`).
