v2010.2.102, Posted Nov 15, 2010
[LIST][*]Full 32 bit and 64 bit support[*]Now compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7[*]Image support added for .PNG, .JPG, .GIF, and .TGA files -- .BMP files are still the fastest to use[*]Executables can now be used as stimuli[*]Audio and video files now have improved functionality and more compatibility with DirectRT[*]Now allows up to 20 video files to be played simultaneously as stimuli[*]Updated support for microphones now allows for the amplitude of any incoming sound to be analyzed and tested for loudness to more[*]accurately execute RTs and record files[*]Functionality added in for the continuous tracking of mouse, keyboard, and joystick data in 10 ms intervals[*]Can now track multiple keys presses during a single stimulus[*]Stimuli can now move in a vector between multiple specified points[*]Using point path files allows for complex movement patterns among specified stimuli[*]New parsing algorithms allow for large experiments to be more quickly analyzed and loaded[*]Selection support for multiple peripherals (e.g., keyboards, mice, joysticks) of the same type found[*]Updated interfaces add-in new functionality to the software while maintaining the same look and feel of our previous versions[*]Select to now launch the software in a new mode that enables the main window to fill up the entire region of your monitor[*]Windowed mode now allows for experiments to be run in an adjustable window size, rather than in full-screen[*]Software updates can now be downloaded directly from the software - updates are released periodically to upgrade code and ensure stability as well as performance. Avoids having to uninstall and reinstall to get latest features and updates.[*]Define, reuse, and manipulate multiple randomly generated variables within your experiment using new functions for random values[*]Our new error-parsing system allows for input-errors to be noticed more accurately so that any non-compliant experiments can be more quickly fixed[*]Skips and jumps now have the ability to go both forward and backwards[*]Define the opacity of an image using the new opacity command[/LIST][B]New Features Near Completion[/B][LIST][*]Z coordinates can now be specified, allowing for stimuli to appear further away than its default size[*]Stimuli can now be forever present, regardless of the current trial (e.g., a background image that is always visible).[*]System and data variables can now be integrated into your experiment at run-time using '<' and '>'[*]Utilize new special keys (as found in MediaLab) to move through your experiment during the design stage[/LIST][B]New Features (Possibly!) Ready This Spring[/B][LIST][*]Run experiments online using our new online experiment hosting service[*]Take snapshots or record videos using a webcam during the process of an experiment[*]Will be possible to embed HTML items and other web objects as stimuli[*]Advanced experiments allow for excel functions to be accessed and used directly within an experiment.[/LIST]
