The history of ScanImage releases, as well as the full release of "Generation 1" software (includes ScanImage V3.0 and Physiology), was recreated in the repository. Each of these are available as folders within the tags subdirectory.
Current releases are tagged according to the following convention: <version #>.<major revision #>.<minor revision #>\[SvobodaLab:.<patch #>\]. _Versions_ refer to major conceptual or codebase changes in the software. Major revisions refer to "significant" feature additions, bug fixes, and/or code changes. Minor revisions are less significant feature additions, bug fixes, code changes. This third number may increment on the time-scale of days. The fourth number appears only when changes are made to correct or improve a _previous_ version, in cases where an upgrade is not feasible or practical for some users. Wiki Markup
Releases are intended for now to contain the entire codebase, so everybody gets all functionality, regardless of whether they use it. Relases will be obtained by users en masse--working copies of each of the tagged releases will be made available on our website. In certain cases where only a small number of files are affected, releases may also be made available as "patches" (note: not a subversion patch). Releases of this smaller number of files will be denoted by the release number, as described above, and the letter "p", appended at the end.
