Improvements
Windows Driver Installation Stability - #1833
We have greatly improved the driver installation workflow on Windows. You should not experience problems with spaces or non-english characters in the path to your Pupil installation anymore. Additionally, you do no longer have to run the application as administrator. You still need an administrator to authorize the driver installation.
Changes
On-demand Loading of Multi-part Recordings - #1835
Multiple users have reported problems when opening Pupil Mobile recordings with a large number of video parts. We were able to fix this issue by loading the video parts on demand instead of opening them all at once. As a result, Pupil Player will open Pupil Mobile or Pupil Invisible recordings with multiple parts much quicker than before.
As a side-effect, during playback in Pupil Player, you might experience short frame jumps when a new video part needs to be loaded. This does not affect the underlying data or any exports.
Bug Fixes
Fixed a crash when changing the ROI without a connected headset - #1827
Fixed a crash when opening recordings with empty video parts - #1832
Gracefully stop recordings when receiving non-monotonic timestamps - #1829
Fixed an issue with calibration file storage on macOS - #1836
Fixed an issue with gaze history settings restoration from session settings - #1836
Developer Notes
Changed Requirements - #1834
We updated the pyndsi dependency on v1.3. On Linux and macOS, you can update with:
On Windows, please download and install the latest wheel from GitHub.
Removed All Direct C++ Dependencies - #1828
After the latest rework of the calibration codebase to remove C++ dependencies in v1.22, we have re-evaluated all dependencies for Pupil Core software -- especially on Windows. We are very pleased to announce that we have finally externalized or gotten rid of all C++ dependencies! :tada:
This greatly simplifies the developer setup on Windows. The biggest changes include:
You no longer have to install Visual Studio to run from source
You no longer need to download OpenCV
You are no longer bound to a fixed path
C:\work
We have updated the developer docs with the updated setup instructions. We hope that this simplifies your setup and enables you to develop awesome plugins for Pupil Capture and Pupil Player that can be shared with the community!
