DriftlessMap 1.4.0 adds reproducible project persistence and native desktop distribution.
Highlights:
- Save Project now preserves registration/warping, atlas slice and tilt, embedded active histology raster, layers, objects, complete probe planning and reconstruction state, tool state, and layout.
- Source histology and processed atlases use checksummed provenance with relocation and verification. Portable projects can additionally stream the original histology source; processed volume atlases remain external to keep projects manageable.
- Standalone object and probe files support sharing and reuse without being required for project restoration.
- Native Windows x64 and macOS desktop applications include the DriftlessMap icon and display version 1.4.0 in the GUI.
- The README documents end-user desktop installation separately from the Conda/pip developer workflow.
