Please feel free to get in touch with feedback and questions via the #pupil channel on Discord 😄
Motivation
In v2.6, we are taking a big step towards our modularity goal. We now support custom user pupil detector plugins. This change makes it easier than ever for you to modify the existing pupil detection algorithms or to build your own! You will no longer have to run Pupil Core software from source to get started with your custom pupil detector! Read more about it in our documentation.
Improvements
Support custom pupil detection plugins - #2033
You can now run your own pupil detection plugins that run in the eye processes. These plugins can be used to implement custom algorithms for extracting pupillometry data from the eye images and feeding it to the rest of the gaze mapping pipeline.
Pupil detection plugins are supported in Pupil Capture, Pupil Player, and Pupil Service. Similar to regular user plugins, custom pupil detection plugins should be placed inside pupil_capture_settings/plugins
for Pupil Capture, pupil_player_settings/plugins
for Pupil Player, and pupil_service_settings/plugin
for Pupil Service. The plugins are automatically loaded when the applications starts.

Support HMD Streaming Source in eye process - #2052
We have added support for using HMD Streaming Source in the eye process. This also adds support for BGR and Gray frame format for HMD streams.
Support Pupil Invisible recording format v1.4 - #2054
This new recording format has been introduced in Pupil Companion 1.0.0
. This version provides support for the OnePus 8 phone and Android 11. On the OnePlus 8, eye videos will be h264-encoded.

Developer Notes
Added ability to stop eye process plugins via notifications - #2039
Another small improvement for eye process plugin management in this release is the ability to stop plugins via notifications. This gives better control over the list of plugins running in the eye process.

We continue to streamline and simplify the installation of Pupil Core dependencies. You can now use the requirements.txt
file from the root of the pupil
repository to install and update all Python dependencies.
