We are excited to announce the release of VoxBo 1.8.2, 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 [[Install 1.8]].
* to get it, see [[Getting VoxBo]]
* please consider filling out the [http://voxbo.org/usage.html usage survey]

Here's what's new as of 1.8.2:

==Exciting new features==

* the plots you see in programs like [[vecview]], [[gdw]], and [[vbview]] support a bunch of new features:
** click on the graph to see the exact value at any point.  hold down the shift key to prevent interpolation
** if multiple series are plotted, use the spacebar to select one
** the F1, F2, F3, and F4 keys can be used to select how the data are plotted
** you can now use the arrow keys to zoom and scroll
* vbsim, a little hack for creating test data, is now much more usable
* [[vbdumpstats]] has some new features and fixes:
** defaults to same mean norm and detrend settings as original GLM, and tells you what it's doing
** ignores voxels without data
** should be a lot faster for large masks
** you can now specify multiple masks, contrasts, and GLMs, and get all combinations reported
* [[vbconv]] now supports extracting multiple 3D volumes from a 4D file, using the -i flag.  vbconv also now honors the -f and -n flags for floating point conversion and removing NaNs/Infs
* the scheduler will now prevent any sequence with more than 10 bad jobs from running.
* [[vbmaskmunge]] will now calculate difference images between 3D volumes

==Bug fixes==

* [[vbsingle]]: various bugs fixed, a few new features (see help)
* [[vbview]]: numerous fixes, including:
** numerous non-subtle bugs in time series display, including power spectrum display
** residual plot for regions formerly showed average residual, now shows residual from regression of average signal
** window size issues on OSX and Cygwin, and other cosmetic bugs fixed
* [[glminfo]] now supports the -l flag for extra detail on your glm
* a bug that could cause occasional NaNs in [[vbstatmap]] fixed
* NIfTI orientation coding (sform/qform) are now preserved properly, and [[setorigin]] can set non-integer origins for NIfTI files
* DICOM import is a bit more inclusive about what it will accept
* [[vbperminfo]] should be a tiny bit faster
* misc/xinetd.vbsrvd restored to the distribution
* bug in command line parsing in jobtype files fixed
* voxbo.log file moved back into etc/logs directory, you can delete etc/voxbo.log
* [[resample]] is now available for OSX, there are still issues with [[realign]] and [[norm]]
* a possible source of scheduler instability has been squashed
* many small bugs fixed

==Not about the software per se, but new nonetheless==

* all executables are now downloadable a la carte, with links on the wiki site
