Pull for Psychtoolbox 3.0.19.12 release.
### Compatibility changes wrt. Psychtoolbox 3.0.19.11:
- None.
### Highlights:
- None. Just some small fixups for improved Ubuntu 24.04-LTS and Matlab R2024a
compatibility.
### All:
### Linux:
- Psychtoolbox was built and tested against Matlab R2024a.
- PsychLinuxConfiguration: Quote paths, to improve MLTBX compatibility.
- PsychLinuxConfiguration(): Add users also to 'gamemode' group.
This provides additional permissions to the gamemoded running on behalf
of the user, to execute additional performance optimizations as part
of Priority(n) with n > 0. Needed on at least Ubuntu 24.04-LTS and later.
- ``Screen('OpenMovie')``: On Linux, use pipewiresink as audio sink if
available. Should fix the following issue on Ubuntu 24.04-LTS and later,
and other distributions that use Pipewire as desktop sound server and
have an outdated buggy Pulseaudio 16 installation, instead of the more
recent Pulseaudio 17. The bug can't be fixed on Ubuntu 22.04-LTS without
manual user workarounds. See following issue for this bug, which is
likely not encountered often:
<#814>
On unfixed affected systems (mostly Ubuntu 22.04-LTS), if there is
a notable time delay between ``Screen('OpenMovie')`` and start of
video+audio playback via ``Screen('PlayMovie')``, then the movie
playback will freeze after displaying the 1st video frame for the
duration of that delay between OpenMovie and PlayMovie, then
continue. Problem didn't exist in earler Linux distributions like
Ubuntu 20.04-LTS and is fixed by this bug fix for later distros like
Ubuntu 24.04-LTS from April 2024.
### Windows:
- Psychtoolbox was built and lightly tested against Matlab R2023b.
### macOS:
- Psychtoolbox was built against Matlab R2023b and tested against
Matlab R2024a and Octave 8.4 from HomeBrew. It also works on the
new Octave 9.1 from HomeBrew
- SetupPsychtoolbox: Quote paths, to improve MLTBX compatibility.
- TextInOffscreenWindowTest.m: Fix it for Retina displays on macOS. Also cleanup.
- BitsPlusPlus: Handle Apple macOS Retina displays properly for imaging pipeline validation runs.
- ImagingStereoDemo: Handle Apple Retina displays properly during movie writing.
- TwoStateQuery(): Add workaround for broken Matlab R2024a on macOS.
