0.2.0 (major improvements to digitspan task and spanish translations)

• Makefile
  • build wrongly used minutes instead of months for filenames
  • now throws an error if not on master or if uncommited changes — can be avoided with any value to the FORCE parameter (e.g. make build FORCE=yes)
• _base_expyriment
  • Config option for experiment_text_size in [GENERAL], which should scale all dependent text sizes downstream; defaults (like expyriment) to 20
  • new function _load_block_settings appends settings to block (trial possible as well) dynamically and adds factors to block and trial output if varying across blocks
  • getforblock can now cast to bool with the configuration settings (e.g. yes, no)
  • implement median function for aggregated output
  • translations accessed by underscore (_) are utf-8 decoded now (previously non-ascii characters could throw an error if they were logged to the events file)
  • _show_message
    • now passes **kwargs to stimuli.TextScreen
    • can stall the screen (stall= in ms) before continuation is possible
    • a block can be passed (block=) to allow customised captions:
    • all texts can now be adjusted to a practice block using caption_key[practice]
    • specific blocks can have different texts using for example caption_key[block:2] (1-indexed)
    • captions (the top) can now be highlighted (bold + red) using caption_key[highlight] = yes
    • they can all be combined in the order listed here, so
      caption_key[practice][block:2][highlight] highlights caption_key in block two if it is a practice block
• n-back task
  • configuration for canvas_size and num_boxes can now vary by block
• simple RT task
  • revise instructions
  • add Spanish translation (thanks, Lucía!)
• digit-span task
  • separate configuration options for input_offset and stimulus_offset, and introduce a [ANDROID] section with input_offset only for Android devices
  • introduce a input_method option for [ANDROID] to turn off the on-screen keyboard
  • make configuration options trials, sequence_type, starting_length, and reverse possible to vary by block
  • introduce separate instructions for trials in reverse order: instruction_reverse, remember_sequence_reverse, incorrect_trial_reverse
  • introduce separate instruction when the reverse flag changed between blocks (instruction_title_changed) and delay continuation
  • revised English instructions
  • added Spanish translation (thanks, Lucía!)
• trail-making task
  • added Spanish translation (thanks, Lucía!)

all android apps functioning now

There was a bug previously that the experiment was not started in both versions of the app. This is solved now. All experiments have been tested and should work now.

Bugfixes

The ConfigParser class was replaced with a custom class as this was not available on the Android app.
This issue should be solved now.

Furthermore some bugs regarding python2/3 compatibility were fixed.

Initial Release

Four tasks added:

• Simple Reaction Time Task
• N-Back Task
• Trailmaking Task
• Digit Span Task

Plus a boilerplate for more experiments.
Currently, there are no tutorials or practice sessions implemented.
