Addition of the capability to add information (structure, isolation distance, type, quality and notes) to cluster in the Cluster Palette.
This information is saved in the parameter file. Note that Klusters is no more backward compatible and the information is only saved in the xml version of the parameter file.

In this release:

* Addition of the capability to browse spikes in the Trace View.
* Klusters has been modified to be compatible with the new GCC 3.4 release series.

The new release of Klusters includes:

* Ability to open several Correlation Views in a single display. This allows to examine spike train properties at different time scales.
* Cross-correlograms are displayed in gray when the background is white or very light (including while printing with the "Use white background" option on).
* Bug fixes.

The new package of parameters includes updated versions of pa2xml and updateXml to handle comments in the old par files.

Labels displayed next to the traces in the Trace View.
Bug fixes.

Update of the script updateXml to prevent multiple updates.

Klusters is part of a larger data analysis framework, including NeuroScope and other utilities which are currently under development.

NeuroScope is an advanced viewer for electrophysiological and behavioral data (with limited editing capabilities): it can display local field potentials (EEG), neuronal spikes, behavioral events, and the position of the animal in the environment.

The parameter file format was changed. However, Klusters is backward compatible and can still read the old parameter files. see user manual for detail.

Addition of a new type of view, the Trace View. The Trace View displays spikes on the wide-band signals.
This view is available only if the wide-band data file is present in the same directory as the other files and the new parameter file format is used. ... read more

Minor release which fixes bugs and adds the 2 following features:

When moving the mouse over the Correlation View, the time corresponding to the underlying correlogram is shown in the status bar.
In the Error Matrix View, clicking twice with the CTRL key on a cell of the Error Matrix will unselect the corresponding pair of clusters (which were selected by the first click).

Minor release which fixes bugs and adds the ability to open another session file without closing the current one (this will actually start another instance of Klusters).
