Our scanner operators are upgrading presentation computers to Windows 10. We have several scanners and computers. The version of Psychtoolbox that we tested with reports its version as
'3.0.18 - Flavor: beta - Corresponds to SVN Revision 13009
We installed it using the DownloadPsychtoolbox.m script.
On the Releases page at GitHub, there are quite a few releases under 3.0.18. We are only partway through installing Psychtoolbox onto the scanner computers, but the version changed over weekend.
The Contents.m lists only to the third version, i.e.,
% Psychtoolbox.
% Version 3.0.18 13 October 2021
The code in DownloadPsychtoolbox says it tries to download the most recent version, so should I assume that was 3.0.18.13 since we installed after 11 Sep 2022 and before 17 Feb 2023?
To get the same version I got last Tue, 14 Feb 2023, should I run this?
As this question does not come with a paid support authentication token attached, I’ll make it brief and only answer from memory without double-checking my statements, viewer discretion advised.
I would upgrade the scanner presentation computers to Ubuntu Linux 22.04. Given the approach of your facilities seems to be extremely slow, let me just mention that Windows-10 is scheduled to reach end-of-life in less than 3 years, and Windows-11 is not yet officially supported or tested with PTB, also due to the generally disappointing lack of funding by our users. I can’t afford buying Win11 compatible hardware, or setup and testing time for such an endeavor.
I’d also not use Version 3.0.18 anymore, as it is end-of-life and completely unsupported since 3 days ago. Systems requirements have also changed 3.0.18 → 3.0.19.
Yes, probably.
If you fix the typos, yes.
Don’t know what tarball you got, but it probably corresponds to this git tree, I assume. It also includes all the C source-code, so is much bigger and more.
