HistoAnnotator v1.2.0

HistoAnnotator v1.2.0 expands the project from a Web + Android annotator into a
cross-platform research annotation environment with standalone Desktop builds,
Android local-image support and explicit Desktop-to-Android pairing.

Highlights

  • Standalone HistoAnnotator Desktop for Windows, Linux and macOS.
  • Independent Desktop image, annotation, cache, prepared-image and upload data.
  • Desktop Start Server mode with explicit LAN URL and QR code.
  • Android Scan QR pairing from Connection settings.
  • Android runtime server switching with no deployment-specific IP embedded in
    the public APK.
  • Native Android HTTP transport for API calls and image tiles.
  • Android local TIFF/image workflow with persistent local-image access.
  • Bundled pyvips/libvips preparation for large generic TIFF files.
  • OpenSlide / Deep Zoom / OpenSeadragon image viewing.
  • QuPath-compatible GeoJSON import/export and sharing.
  • Review mode, annotation statistics and calibration.
  • H&E, H-DAB and supported multichannel fluorescence display controls.

Extract the complete Desktop archive before starting HistoAnnotator. Do not
move only the executable from its packaged directory.

Desktop and pairing

Desktop runs an independent local backend. Select an image folder, work
locally, or press Start Server to make the session reachable on a trusted
LAN/VPN.

On Android use:

File → Connection settings → Scan QR

Large generic TIFF files that need preparation are converted into a tiled
pyramidal TIFF in the writable HistoAnnotator data directory. The source image
is not modified.

Android

The public APK is generic. Select a server at runtime by entering an HTTP/HTTPS
URL or scanning the Desktop QR. Deployment-specific institutional CA files are
not included in the public APK.

Android also supports supported local TIFF/images independently from a remote
server.

Validation

The v1.2.0 release candidate was manually tested on Windows x64, Linux x64 and
Android. macOS Intel and Apple Silicon artifacts are built and package-tested
in GitHub Actions but are currently unsigned.

The release workflow validates OpenSlide and pyvips/libvips, extracts each
Desktop archive and runs the packaged self-test before publication.

Research software

HistoAnnotator is research software. It is not clinically validated medical
software and does not currently provide individual user authentication, a
complete audit trail or regulatory controls.

Desktop server mode should be used only on a trusted LAN/VPN unless additional
security controls are deployed.
