Changes

• New scrambling effect is added to all visual elements. The effect randomly permutates pixel blocks of an original image  

Fixes

• Possible fix for incidental runtime errors in the route conditions

Changes

• Beta version of PupilLabs AddIn is released. The AddIn enables communication  with PupilLabs  eye-trackers.
• New .NET compatible data structure is introduced for the EyeLink samples, to simplify sample processing in the snippets.
• Processing logic of eye-tracker samples is changed. Now the ‘Newest Sample’ property never returns a null, even when no sample is arrived during in the last control loop
• Option to save and load the current GLM calibration in XML files is added to all tracker elements. It can be done both in design and runtime.
• Header snippet now is recompiled automatically, when a keyboard focus is moved out of the editor with the Header code.  Recompilation is necessary for registration of global variables declared in Header. 

Fixes

• Flicking on XAML 3D models in the Oculus viewport can be now fixed by adjusting  the Near Plane Distance property.
• Occasional duplication of the ‘quick action’ buttons (on the right to the application button) in the main window.

Changes

• The Wave Player element is updated with a new version of NAudio library
• The Oculus elements are migrated to a new version of the rendering engine
• The Oculus Remote element now can read buttons on the Oculus Touch controller

Fixes

• The Block Number was not reset at the start of experiment
• Occasional crashes on the Staircase element, when its plot is rendered on the status screen

Changes

• Scanpath Analyzer and Web Scanpath Analyzer element now allow recording any custom data synchronized with the scanpath points in time
• New ‘save on exit’ message box
• Marginal performance improvements for Web Browser element

Fixes

• Crash on opening the Runtime Actions dialog
• Various fixes for elements carrying eye-tracking analysis on webpages
• Icons for the web scanpath and web heatmap elements

Changes

• Two new elements for eye-tracking analysis are added into Usability Research - Web Heatmap and Web Scanpath. The new elements automatically pair with a Web Browser element in order to analyse eye movements on live scrollable web pages. The new elements replace the deprecated  ‘web-browser’ mode on the old Heatmap and Scanpath elements
• Web Browser element now allows parsing HTML code of a loaded page via the new ‘HTML Source’ property
• Web Browser element now allows reading a return value of a user-defined JScript  function via the new ‘JScript Result’ property
• Chart element now can show an overlay plot legend with the option to show or hide selected dataseries
• GUI Designer for the chart element is reworked for better usability 
• Warning is given, when video files of unsupported format are added into Material Library
• Multiple rectangular AOIs can be now assigned to eye-tracking analysis elements in snippets, via the ‘Custom AOIs’ property

Changes

• The Oculus viewport element now allows to switch the view modes at runtime, via a proxy variable
• The Oculus viewport element now resets the camera position back to the initial values at the end of the experiment
• The conditional route snippets now are recorded in the profiler, only when return ‘true’
• Detailed warnings about declaring custom types are provided on compiling the header snippet  
• PQLab tracker element now can log raw tip positions in the centroid mode. To get this data in old experiments, you need to recreate the PQLab tracker element and reset the log structure

Fixes

• Occasional locking of the scanpath and heatmap plots, when they are rendered on the status screen
• Failure in locating the cvextern library on some systems

---

Changes

• DirectX rendering pipeline is significantly speeded up for scenarios with fast animation
• Snap grid in the surface preview panel now adjust the dot size depending on the surface pixel resolution
• Colour of the snap grid can be set in the application preferences

Fixes

• Incorrect runtime rendering after changing the pixel resolution of the stimulus screen
• Failures in locating the application libraries on some PC configurations
