Release notes for 3.0.6

OpenSesame 3.0.6 is the sixth maintenance release in the 3.0 series. It contains bug fixes and minor improvements, and should be a pleasant and safe upgrade for everyone who is using the 3.0 series.

A notable improvement in this release is that we now have a standard OSX package! So no more waiting and using outdated packages for Mackies! Thanks do Daniel Schreij (@dscreij) for his great work on this.

If you are upgrading from OpenSesame 2.9.7 or earlier, please see the list of important changes in OpenSesame 3.0:

Bugs fixed

  • Fix a crash when adding an empty list to the file pool
  • Handle exotic variable types better in variable inspector (#388)
  • Fix initial state of auto_example plugin (#389)
  • Catch errors in file pool
  • Fix background-color changes with psycho backend
  • Catch non osexception Exceptions during script validation
  • Add console property to sketchpad base_element
  • Avoid setting config values to QPyNullVariant (#397)
  • Don't set fullscreen as property of experiment in opensesamerun (#392)
  • Don't allow line breaks in sketchpad-element scripts

Improvements

  • Add experiment_file experimental variable, which contains the file name of the experiment (#387)
  • Catch warnings when creating a new item and provide an informative message
  • Update default logfile location after save as (#370)
  • Improve file-type icons in file pool
  • Add deprecation warning to parallel plugin (use coroutines instead)
  • Allow external links in user hints
  • Move image element to top in sketchpad to make it more easily discoverable
