upgrades and fixes

The new year started quietly with a few library upgrades and only a few bug fixes.

Fixes

  • The Jump to functionality of the Find usages dialog in the flow editor was broken.

  • Find usages now also lists attached variables

Changes

  • adams-weka: Weka was upgraded to 3.7.13 - I also uncovered/reported a performance bottleneck in Weka, relating to a scheme's setOptions method. Due to some new functionality, this call was almost 100x slower than previously. This was only noticeable in classifiers that configured other schemes using this approach.

  • adams-weka: GridSearch was upgraded to 1.0.9 - mainly to work with 3.7.13

  • adams-video: VLCj was upgraded to the latest 3.10.1

  • adams-core: Highlight variables and Remove variable highlights menu items have been removed from the flow editor's View menu. Instead, you can use the Locate variable menu item from the Edit menu (also new is the Locate storage name menu item).

Additions

  • adams-video: new tool Screencast added, which allows you to record screencast data (sound/webcam/screen) to be used for creating tutorials, for instance.

  • adams-video: added the following standalones for automatically recording screencast data while a flow runs - but there is still a performance issue, which I need to investigate at some stage

    • RecordingSetup

    • StartRecording

    • StopRecording

  • adams-meka: added new visualization sinks for Meka

    • MekaGraphVisualizer

    • MekaMacroCurve

    • MekaMicroCurve

    • MekaPrecisionRecall

    • MekaROC
