v1.1.2
To access this release please go to https://data.virtualbrainlab.org/Pinpoint/ or through the main branch on Steam. You can also download the attached zip files.
Please note: there are known issues with transforms in this release, if you see a small discrepancy between your insertion in 3D space and the 2D slice panels, please use the "null" transform for planning. v1.1.3 will be released soon and will fix these issues.
If you are using Ephys Link, please make sure to upgrade to the latest version of by using the new self-contained executable (.exe) attached below or updating your current Python install with pip install -U ephys-link.
There are many more updates in the pipeline coming in the next few weeks. Thanks for your patience!
Major changes
- Accounts back-end has been updated and should be functional again
- Improvements to ephys-link
- Fixed a bug that caused the reference coordinate to default to (0,0,0) on startup
- Added a button to clear settings, useful when the program crashes on startup

Full Changelog: v1.0.0b...v1.1.0
v1.0.0b
This is the beta release of v1.0.0 of Pinpoint. Thank you for helping us debug Pinpoint so far, our goal is to no longer introduce breaking changes in future releases.
There are still several major features and many bug fixes that we hope to roll out before considering Pinpoint stable. These include improved area search, a revamped UI, better import/export tools, better Accounts, additional integrations with Open Ephys and SpikeGLX, experiment automation, and a lot more. We're working hard to make Pinpoint your go-to planning tool!

Important
We've changed the internal definition of Pitch to be more intuitive starting in this version. A Pitch of 0 indicates a probe that is pointing down (ventral), and pitch increase as the probe becomes more horizontal. We've also changed the default setting to show this pitch and yaw value, instead of the "IBL angle" conventions.

- Added additional tip/entry coordinates to the probe export
- Added camera zoom/rotation to settings
- Raised double-click time on orientation widget
- Moved speed controls to a UI element, and changed to tap
- Enabled 4-shank probes in SpikeGLX API
