Highlights ✨

• Improved performance for large tracings. #3995
• Improved how the rendering quality can be adapted in the settings. The setting can now be used to tune the quality to your hardware specification. #4015

19.04.0

• Docker Image scalableminds/webknossos:19.04.0 🐳
  Run it via export DOCKER_TAG=="19.04.0" && ./start-docker.sh.
• Changelog
• Migration Guide

Highlights ✨

This release multiple new interactions are expanding webKnossos:

• Added merger mode for skeleton and hybrid tracings. It allows to merge segments from e.g. generated oversegmentations. #3619
• Added a shortcut (Q) and button to screenshot the tracing views. #3834
• Rendered isosurfaces in the 3D viewport can now be interacted with. Shift+Click on an isosurface will jump exactly to where you clicked. Also, hovering over an isosurface will highlight that cell in all viewports. #3858
• Neuroglancer precomputed datasets can now be added to webKnossos using the webknossos-connect service. #3843

Also the data viewing and tracing workflow is smoothed further:

• Different loading strategies are now supported ("best quality first" and "progressive quality"). Additionally, the rendering can use different magnifications as a fallback. #3801
• Performance improvements 🏎️ #3880 & #3902

19.03.2

This patch release fixes a scrolling bug which occurs when using Chrome version 73 with a zoomed annotation view in webKnossos.

Besides this, the changelog and migrations are the same as for release 19.03.1.

Run it via export DOCKER_TAG=="19.03.2" && ./start-docker.sh.

19.03.1

This patch release changes two things:

• The inner node now looks exactly as a non-active node and is not round, anymore. #3868
• Fixed a bug which allowed the brush size to become negative when using shortcuts. #3861

Besides this, the changelog and migrations are the same as for release 19.03.0.

19.03.0

• Docker Image scalableminds/webknossos:19.03.0 🐳
  Run it via export DOCKER_TAG=="19.03.0" && ./start-docker.sh.
• Changelog
• Migration Guide

Highlights ✨

• The tracing view got two major improvements:
  • Data rendering is now fully using the available space and doesn't have to be quadratic anymore. Increasing the size of a viewport will result in more data being rendered (as opposed to the same data will be upscaled). #3634
  • The active node is highlighted with a "halo ring". Additionally, the node is also rendered as a circle. In flight and oblique modes the halo is hidden. #3731
• Added the possibility to create volume annotation tasks. When creating a task type, select whether to create volume or skeleton tasks. Compound viewing and file upload for volume tasks is not yet supported. #3712
• Mappings for segmentations will be read automatically from the file system. It's not necessary to define the mappings within the datasource-properties.json anymore. #3720

19.02.1

This release undoes the visual change of active tree nodes from PR #3628.
The changelog and migrations are the same as for release 19.02.0.

Docker Image scalableminds/webknossos:19.02.1 🐳

19.02.0

• Docker Image scalableminds/webknossos:19.02.0 🐳
• Changelog
• Migration Guide

Highlights ✨

• The Dataset Gallery was redesigned to be a Publication Gallery instead. It will feature scientific publications together with their published datasets and information such as the species, brain region or acquisition method of such datasets. #3653
  Please see the migration guide on how to add publications.
• Also, this release includes new features that enrich the view of your data:
  • Isosurface computation can now be triggered for whole segments (shift + click on a segment in view mode). #3655
  • Added the possibility to fade the alpha value of data layers. Also, a dataset can now contain both RGB and grayscale layers. #3670
• The volume annotation brush tool will now automatically fill any enclosed areas if the brushed outline is closed in one stroke. #3698
  

19.01.0

• Docker Image scalableminds/webknossos:19.01.0 🐳
• Changelog
• Migration Guide

Highlights ✨

• You can now create tracings on datasets of other organizations, provided you have access rights to the dataset (i.e. it is public). #3533
• Added the experimental feature to dynamically render isosurfaces for segmentation layers (can be enabled in the dataset settings when viewing a dataset). #3495
• Added the possibility to specify a recommended user configuration in a task type. The recommended configuration will be shown to users when they trace a task with a different task type and the configuration can be accepted or declined. #3466
• Added the possibility to select multiple trees in skeleton tracings in the tree tab by using ctrl + left mouse. Deleting and moving trees will affect all selected trees. #3457

18.12.0

• Docker Image scalableminds/webknossos:18.12.0 🐳
• Changelog
• Migration Guide

Highlights ✨

• Added the possibility to add STL mesh files to tracings. #3367
• Improved support for datasets with a large skew in scale. #3398
• Improved performance for flight mode. #3392
• Fixed the guessed bounding box for datasets that do not start at (0,0,0). #3437

18.11.0

• Docker Image scalableminds/webknossos:18.11.0 🐳
• Changelog
• Migration Guide

Highlights ✨

• Skeleton and volume tracings will be more unified, resulting in hybrid tracings that can contain both structures:
  • Hybrid tracings are now enabled by default. They allow to combine the functionality of skeleton and volume annotations in one tracing. #3399
  • Old volume tracing versions now also can be restored. Access it through the dropdown next to the Save button. #3349
• The tracing view was improved:
  • The info tab in tracing views now displays the extent of the current dataset. #3371.
  • A User can now have multiple layouts for tracing views. #3299
  • More layouting improvements: #3256 #3256 #3272
