• LSL Signal element now allows a direct connection with Openvibe acquisition server streaming with its LSL Output option turned on
• Tobii Pro element is updated for the recent version of Tobii Pro SDK, which brings support for new models of Tobii trackers
• Signal Writer element now allows recording in the EDF+ format
• Text-based sync markers can be inserted into files recorded by the Signal Writer element. The markers are automatically aligned within a file and can carry a timestamp and text label. When the EDF+ format is chosen for recorded file, the markers in inserted as native EDF+ annotations
• Notifications of unsaved change in an experiment would appear less frequently

Fixes

• Critical error when the EventIDE configuration is selected via a proxy variable in the Start-up variables dialog
• PupilLab tracker element could not record the fiducial samples at the full rate

• Enter button did not work while typing in web-forms shown by the Web Browser element
• The Web Address property of the Web Browser element did not change until loading of new page has been fully completed
• Default values of the Chuck Size property could cause faults of signal processing element that use resampling

Changes

• New AddIn, Advantech DAQ, is added in the EventIDE package. The AddIn contains element that carries analog data acquisition with Advantech DAQ boards. More Advantech elements will be added soon.
• The protocol for PupilLabs eye-trackers is updated to make EventIDE compatible with the newest versions of Pupil Capture software.
• PupilLabs tracker element allows choosing whether to discard gaze positions outside of a fiducial surface.
• Fixation/Saccade Detector elements now can export their results into formatted files via a new command property.
