This release fixes a few bugs, but the most important new development is the introduction of self-contained executables of MOCCASIN: users no longer need to install or interact with Python at all, because MOCCASIN is now available in a form that is like any other ordinary program.
Enhancements:
-
We have successfully built self-contained, standalone executable versions of MOCCASIN so that users do not need to install wxPython or other dependencies—or even have Python installed on their computers at all. This has been made possible through the use of PyInstaller. A downside to this approach is that the executables are specific to operating system versions and we must distribute copies for specific OS versions (and not simply for OS families).
-
The keyboard shortcut for running conversions has been changed to control-r instead of control-c, to avoid confusion with a common editing shortcut.
Bug fixes:
-
The GUI interface no longer throws an error if you try to type in the file path text box.
-
The converter no longer generates an error if it encounters uses of MATLAB
zeros()orones()that employ variables instead of numbers. -
Some aesthetic inconsistencies in the GUI layout have been fixed.
-
Other miscellaneous bugs have been fixed.
