Introduction
We are excited to announce the release of VoxBo 1.8.4 for Linux, OSX, and Cygwin (Windows). This release is available both as a patch and as a full release. Both versions include all the binaries, but the patch is missing some redundant stuff, and doesn't overwrite any of your configuration files when you unpack it.
- for installation instructions, see below
- to get it, see Getting VoxBo
- please consider filling out the usage survey
Here's what's new as of 1.8.4:
New features
- vbcfx (replaces txt2num)
- -r and -m options for vbmaskmunge
- maxjobs in vbbatch, voxq
- job killing and halting now works again
- vbxts is back and (almost) better than ever
- a new contrast defining widget is now available in vbview and as a stand-alone program
- in vbview, you can now refresh trial averaging (i.e., if you edit averages.txt) by switching averaging off and then back on
- in vbview, you can now byteswap the anatomical image (from "Special" menu)
- vbdumpstats now supports the -d0 and -n0 flags to explicitly turn off mean scaling and linear detrending
Bug fixes
- vbview should be much faster with high-resolution overlays
- issues with scaling due to prm file headers have been fixed
- bug fixes for vbfit
- improvements to the graphing widget used in gdw, vbview, and vecview
- vbhdr now supports the -x (set origin) and -z (set voxel sizes) flags, plus some other minor bug fixes
- you can now load a fresh GLM in vbview without having to restart or open a new tab
- vbi now shows a proper "real" voxel count (voxels stored in file)
- contrasts "0 1 -1 0" etc. now interpreted properly
- vbstatmap now propagates all the headers from the parameter (prm) file
- vbstatmap used to use the conservative c(V) calculation for FDR thresholds, but now uses c(V)=1
- some serious nifti bugs fixed (you can now load the SPM5 templates, for example)
- scale factors are now read and written for voxbo, analyze, and nifti formats when appropriate
- averages.txt was buggy when using "units time" — all time measurements are now in ms
