Additions:
The Psychtoolbox-3 version is a three digit number, e.g. 3.0.9. The first digit is always 3. We bump the second or third digit only for major releases, but these happen only periodically. Usually we only update the //beta// branch of PTB for the purpose of introducing single bug fixes, new features or incremental improvements. Thus the beta branch varies continuously, and the incremental updates are differentiated by their SVN revision number. Executing the command //""PsychtoolboxVersion""// should return the //version number, flavor and revision number// of your current Psychtoolbox. The command also prints a weblink which points you to the SVN online weblog where you can read in detail what has changed between different revisions.
- **""Psychtoolbox-3.0.8""** A snapshot of the code as of April 2011: This is the final 3.0.8 release before start of the 3.0.9 series with its new "mostly MIT" license model.
- **""Psychtoolbox-3.0.8-PreMatlab6.5""** A snapshot of the code as of end 2010: This is the last release that worked with Matlab versions before V6.5.

Edited on 2009-07-02 19:23:21 by MarioKleiner [Add info about preTiger PTB release.]
Additions:
- **""Psychtoolbox-3.0.8-PreTiger""** A snapshot of the code as of 18th february 2009: This is the last release that is (assumed, not tested!) to work properly in most parts on ""MacOS/X"" versions prior to 10.4 "Tiger", i.e., 10.3 Panther and earlier. It is also the last release with support for ""GNU/Octave"" versions prior to 3.2.0 on Mac OS and Linux.

Revision [1511]

Edited on 2009-03-22 13:01:03 by MarioKleiner [Remove all references to "stable", explain the meaning of "unsupported".]
Additions:
Historically, PTB-3 was available in two different flavors, but only one flavor matters nowadays:
- **beta/current:** **This is what all users should use!** The //beta// (aka //current//) branch provides the latest and greatest features, performance enhancements and bug fixes. These features have been successfully tested by the [[CurrentActiveDevelopers developers]] on their system configurations and should be reasonably safe for real world use and testing. However, there may be bugs that didn't show up in our setups, and we only have very limited resources for testing, so new stuff needs to be exposed to real world use on many different hardware configurations. We rely on //you// for testing of new features and for feedback about problems or bugs.
- **unsupported:** This flavor was formerly known under the very misleading name "stable" and is now officially declared dead. You should **avoid "unsupported" unless you really know what you are doing and just love trouble or archeology**. **"unsupported" doesn't work on Matlab V7.4 (R2007a) and later on Microsoft Windows! It has not been updated for more than 2 years and we have no intention of ever fixing any of the bugs and shortcomings in it, nor will we provide you with any support or help if you are foolish enough to still use it.**
Before we apply potentially disruptive changes to //beta//, we release a new version of Psychtoolbox, named //Psychtoolbox-x.y.z// with //x.y.z// being the version number. An example of such a disruptive change would be discontinuation of support for an operating system, Matlab version or computer hardware platform. We recommend sticking to the default //beta// flavor unless you have good reason not to do so.
The Psychtoolbox-3 version is a three digit number, e.g. 3.0.8. The first digit is always 3. We bump the second or third digit only for major releases, but these happen only periodically. Usually we only update the //beta// branch of PTB for the purpose of introducing single bug fixes, new features or incremental improvements. Thus the beta branch varies continuously, and the incremental updates are differentiated by their SVN revision number. Executing the command //""PsychtoolboxVersion""// should return the //version number, flavor and revision number// of your current Psychtoolbox. The command also prints a weblink which points you to the SVN online weblog where you can read in detail what has changed between different revisions.
== Previous releases ==
The following releases of old Psychtoolbox versions are available. We highly recommend avoiding any versions of the ""OpenGL"" toolbox with version numbers earlier than this. There were some unfortunately numbered versions 1.0.x released earlier in the development of PTB-3, but this numbering caused so much confusion with respect to PTB Version 2 that we have now abandoned that system.
- **Psychtoolbox-3.0.7** A snapshot of the code as of Friday, October 6th, 2006: Adds basic and limited support for movie playback on OSX via Quicktime, some performance enhancements to the drawing functions and a few bug fixes. See [[http://svn.berlios.de/wsvn/osxptb/Psychtoolbox-3.0.7/Psychtoolbox/ReleaseNotes.m?op=file&rev=476&sc=1 the 3.0.7 release notes]] for more details.

- **stable:** This is an alternative for users who would prefer to live with known bugs, rather than use the current version. Features that have been part of the beta branch for a while without any reports about bugs or other problems, will be moved into the **stable** branch. Stable refers to the intention of stability and the moderate rate of change in this branch. In reality, you should **avoid stable unless you know what you are doing**. **stable doesn't work on Matlab V7.4 (R2007a) and later on Microsoft Windows!**
Before we apply potentially disruptive changes to //stable//, we release a new version of Psychtoolbox, named //Psychtoolbox-x.y.z// with //x.y.z// being the version number.
