[Erppcatoolkit-support] EP Toolkit 2.69 released

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

EP Toolkit version 2.69 has been released:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/erppcatoolkit/ <https://sourceforge.net/projects/erppcatoolkit/>

Mostly fixes to FIFF file format support and frequency-domain user interface bugs.  Also sped up View-Scan and PCA functions, which had gotten too sluggish.  Also made a number of improvements to the ANOVA function.

1) Fixed crash when saving data with a regional channel in fiff format.  
2) Fixed filenames malformed when saving a multi-subject file in fiff format.  
3) When reading fiff files, fixed covNum and avgNum fields being set to cell arrays, resulting in crashes later on.  
4) Improved support for writing fiff files in numerous ways.  
5) When reading fiff files, now detects average reference projection and applies average reference to the channels.  
6) Fixed bug in calculation of .covNum field (for fiff files).  
7) Corrected calculation of covNum field (for fiff files) when using trial weighting option with combination of cell averages.  
7) In View Topos mode, now taking absolute value for calculating peak channel and timepoint, which can make a big difference for non average reference data.  
8) Fixed recTime values generated by Segment function not correct (no effect of bug on EP Toolkit functions).  
9) Fixed BadChan QC of Edit function including regional channels in its computation.  
10) Fixed crash when running contrast with the ANOVA function and there is no between group variable.  
11) For ANOVA function, added follow-up pairwise contrasts for significant effects when the factor has more than two levels.  
12) Modified so that sample test function also works with combined (CMB) cells.  
13) Fixed PCA Woody and template Woody options of SampleTest function crashing.  
14) Fixed crash when using Edit function to generate a grand average of frequency-domain data.  
15) Fixed crash in View function for frequency-domain data.  
16) Fixed crash when windowing frequency-domain data.  
17) Fixed crash in View Waves function when the maximum amplitude is negative.  
18) Fixed missing Factor popupmenus for TFT factor data in View function.  
19) Changed in PCA function name of "all" factors and cells to "combined" to reduce confusion with '-all-' option in View function.  
20) In View topos function, improved auto-scaling for dB scaled frequency-domain data.  
21) In View Topos, fixed dipole and jack-knife right-click options not available for frequency-domain data.  
22) Optimized stdCM field calculation so PCAs wouldn't take so darn long.  
23) Fixed TFT so it does not result in NaN at the ends of the resulting output when the sampling rate of segmented data is an even multiple of 250Hz.  
24) Added additional information to beginning of ANOVA output files.  
25) Sped up speed of scans after addition of event marking slowed it down unacceptably.  26) Modified Cousineau-Morey standard error computation to be specific to two-cell contrasts since that is the EP Toolkit's intended use of this figure.  Confidence intervals for waveforms plotted using View may be too narrow if the grand average was computed with an earlier version of EP Toolkit.  No statistical analyses are affected by this issue.
