v0.37.0

Scanpath Studio shows how people read. It draws eye-tracking-while-reading data over the text, where it sat on the screen, replays each reading, compares readers, and exports figures for a paper. This is a beta: the app, the Python API and the CLI may still change during 0.x.

Get it

• Desktop app, for your own data: the Windows, macOS and Linux downloads under Assets below.
• With pip (Python 3.11–3.14): pip install -U scanpath-studio, then scanpath-studio.
• In the browser: the hosted demo, on the bundled data.

Held back in this beta: the reading measures and summaries the app would compute from fixations. Corpus Analysis shows the measures your dataset brings, and the computations reference lists what each figure derives.

Added

• Help → About can check for updates: it shows whether a newer release is out and the command that updates your install, or the download for the desktop app; also scanpath-studio version --check and api.check_for_updates(), and only ever when asked. (#139)
• The desktop app updates itself: Help → About → Check for updates → Update & restart downloads, checks and tests the new version, then restarts into it, and puts the old one back if it doesn't start. (#385)

Changed

• Every build now reports its own version: between releases it is a development build such as 0.35.0.post3+g8f18219 (three commits after 0.35.0), shown in About, scanpath-studio --version, crash reports and exports, and as scanpath_studio.version; the hand-set release number is scanpath_studio.release. (#139)

Fixed

• Dataset downloads now trust the certificates your operating system trusts, so they no longer fail with CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED on a python.org Python on macOS or behind a network that inspects HTTPS. (#391)
