1.0 (Apr 25, 2019)

Ability to distinguish any number of fixation and pursuit events within a single inter-saccade-period
No longer use a maximum amplitude parameter to distinguish pursuits from fixations, but use a single velocity threshold instead. The threshold is evaluated against a heavily low-pass filtered gaze trajectory, to only reflect "smooth" eye movement components (and thereby suppress the impact of measurement noise).
New parameter noise_factor that influences the adaptive saccade velocity threshold. The saccade onset velocity threshold is the median of all sub-threshold velocities plus noise_factor times the MAD of these velocities. The saccade peak velocity threshold is computed in the same fashion, but uses 2x noise_factor. The default value should work for noisy data. Reducing this factor can boost saccade detection sensitivity for clean data (e.g. Nyström et al., 2010 use the equivalent of a factor of 3.0)
