NVAP 0.1.2 — Microglia branch preservation + vasculature tools

Existing NVAP installs will show an in-app upgrade prompt for this build.

Fixed

• Microglia branch preservation. When isolating a single microglia ("View one microglia"), thin processes were being eroded and left out of both the separation and the analysis. Two causes are fixed:
  • Anisotropic stacks now keep full 8-connectivity within each imaging plane, so thin diagonal branches no longer fragment under the watershed and get dropped from the cell.
  • The separation growth mask now always includes every voxel at or above the render threshold you set, so an internal data-driven floor can never apply a stricter threshold than yours and trim visible dim branches.

Added

• Vasculature workbench: background enhancement and compact red-blob removal, with UI controls.

Downloads

• NVAP-0.1.2-windows-cpu.exe — CPU-safe build (Python 3.13). Recommended default; works everywhere.
• NVAP-0.1.2-windows-directml.exe — DirectML GPU-optimized build for AMD/Intel GPUs (Python 3.12), with CPU fallback included.

A Windows SmartScreen / antivirus warning on first launch is expected for unsigned PyInstaller executables; choose "More info → Run anyway".
