[Erppcatoolkit-support] EP Toolkit 2.46 released

[Joseph D. <jd...@me...>]

EP Toolkit version 2.46 has been released:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/erppcatoolkit/

Matlab 2014b onwards has made major changes to the graphics system.  EP Toolkit will not currently work on 2014b or newer on any platform.  This EP Toolkit update (2.46) will be the last one that will run under the older Matlab versions (prior to 2014b).  The next will be a 2.50 update which will only run under Matlab 2014b or later.

Aside from the usual bug fixes and refinements, notable upgrades include the addition of a batch convert option for the Save function, enhancements to the segmentation functionality, and enhancements to the blink/saccade template function.

1) Workaround for NetStation bug where EGIS average files have number of trials in cell in wrong spot in the cell header.  
2) Fixed crash in Segment function and others for files where event values are all numbers rather than strings.  
3) Added support for saving event info to a text file for file formats that don’t contain event information and support for reading in such event text files when present, which also provides a mechanism for easily modifying event information.  
4) Added support for bdf recording stop events (by marking them as 'boundary' events).  
5) Added field to Transform panel indicating how much of a delay has been added to ERP latencies by one-pass filters.  
6) Added delay field to the Segment function to allow for correction for timing offsets.  
7) Added check to update cache if the current one was generated by an older version of the EP Toolkit, avoiding crashes.  
8) Added Type event field to the list of possible criteria for Segment function.  
9) Fixed crash in average function when bad channels resulted in not being able to compute covariance matrix.  
10) Fixed appending subjects using Edit function not working.  
11) Appending cells using Edit function now works even when they have different trial spec fields.  
12) Support for SMI and text event files now for any function loading in a file, not just preprocessing.  
13) Fixed crash in ANOVA when analysis only has between-group factors, no within-group factors.  
14) Fixed preferences for SMI and text event file suffixes not being changeable.  
15) Further improvements in SMI eye-tracker output support.  
16) In Template function, added click 2D topos to expand into 3D view.  
17) In Template function, added EOG channel controls.  
18) Fixed crash when selecting mff files on a PC.  
19) Since this was causing confusion, one now selects one of the mff files in the directory and then is given the opportunity to select the other files as well (unless it was the only mff file present).  
20) Fixed crash when filtering when there is a boundary event at the start of the file.  
21) Fixed crash in sampTest function when there are bad trials present in single-trial data.  
22) Fixed crash when adding ced electrode coordinates info using Edit function.  
23) Fixed crash when using Transform pane and rereference set to "none.”  
24) Fixed crash when selecting points in continuous data where the number of points is not an even multiple of one second.  
25) Eliminated requirement that segmented epochs not overlap with each other.  
26) Added sixth spec for segmenting.  
27) Fixed no time marker for blink and saccades when forming templates.  
28) Added vertical saccade correction.  
29) Fixed crash in SampleTest when no suitable data in working set.  
30) Fixed crash in windowing and autoPCA functions.  
31) When appending two sets of single-trial data, ensure that each cell has uniqe set of trial names.  
32) Fixed crash in Scan function when the datasets have different numbers of channels (including regional ones).  
33) Fixed channels being left out of Waves or Scan figures when the last dataset has fewer channels (including regional) than earlier datasets.  
34) Added Import Events button to the Events sub pane.  
35) Fixed crash in template function when there are non-EEG channels present.  
36) Fixed crash in sampleTest function when using temporal PCA template with Woody PCA option.  
37) In Edit, fixed crash when changing channel type and not staying changed when changing cell type.  
38) Fixed crash when frequency transforming and there are non EEG channels present.  
39) Fixed crash when saving factor files with more than one factor in simple binary file format.  
40) Fixed not handling event times correctly when saving files in simple binary form and event time samples are decimals (warning was being displayed by Matlab).  
41) Added convert option to Save function.
