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 ```auto '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., ```auto % 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? ```auto DownloadPsychtoolbox('C:\toolbox', 'beta', 3.0.18') ``` Would that correspond exactly to the tarball for Release `3.0.18.13`? I looked for but did not find a Git commit ID corresponding to the SVN Revision number. Is it included anywhere? Sorry if I missed something obvious, and thank you for your consideration. ---

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. > [@Bennet](#): > > Our scanner operators are upgrading presentation computers to Windows 10.

We are only partway through installing Psychtoolbox onto the scanner computers, but the version changed over weekend. 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. > [@](#): > > The `Contents.m` lists only to the third version, i.e., > > ```auto > % 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? Yes, probably. > [@](#): > > To get the same version I got last Tue, 14 Feb 2023, should I run this? > > ```auto > DownloadPsychtoolbox('C:\toolbox', 'beta', 3.0.18') > > ``` If you fix the typos, yes. > [@](#): > > Would that correspond exactly to the tarball for Release `3.0.18.13`? 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. > **[GitHub - Psychtoolbox-3/Psychtoolbox-3 at 3.0.18.13](https://github.com/Psychtoolbox-3/Psychtoolbox-3/tree/3.0.18.13)** > > 3.0.18.13 > [@](#): > > I looked for but did not find a Git commit ID corresponding to the SVN Revision number.
