Revision history
| • | Version 2.1 (14 October 2002): added progressive-ratio schedules. |
| • | Version 2.2 (4 November 2002): added XML parameter storage, FR1 with delayed reinforcement, a timeout option for all schedules, and nosepoke recording. |
| • | Version 2.3: fixed minor bug (loss of unsaved info in parameters dialogue when selecting database) |
| • | Version 2.4 (6 December 2002): addition of changeover delays for concurrent schedules |
| • | Version 2.5 (4 June 2003): PR bug fixed |
| • | Version 2.6 (14 July 2003): status message display scrolls properly |
| • | Version 2.7 (22 Nov 2003): writes version info to summary file |
| • | Version 2.8 (11 Mar 2004): PROGRATIO_DOUBLEINCREMENT schedule. Traylight support added (therefore requires a traylight). PR schedules can end based on time since last response (or time since last reward, as before). |
| • | Version 2.9 (21 Mar 2005). Bug fix: random-number generators for concurrent random schedules not totally independent (probably). Option for timeout on one schedule to affect the other in a two-schedule situation. |
| • | Version 3.0 (8 March 2007). Easier compilation for users. |
| • | Version 3.1 (June 2007). Option not to reinforce the first response in an interval schedule. |
| • | Version 4.0 (12 Jan 2009). Server default changed from "loopback" to "localhost" (Windows Vista compatibility and more general standardization). |
| • | Version 4.1 (24 Mar 2009). Support for antique levers. |
| • | Version 4.2 (5 Sep 2013). Option to remove 10-second hard-limit safety timer for non-IV pump use. |
| • | Version 4.3 (23 Mar 2014). Reinforcement-associated CS lights. |
| • | Version 4.4 (3 Sep 2014). Hammond contingency schedule. |
| • | Version 4.5 (14 Apr 2015). RPI schedule. Rebuild to use WhiskerClientLib 4.62 with new socket code. |
