- Added a new element: RangePreSetter, useful for controlling 2 range (min,max) values with 2 PropertySetters. This element assures output minimum value is always lower than maximum value. Without it, those values could be sent out in a different order which would cause error when PropertySetter reinitializes the target element.
- Added a new option in OpenBCI element to detect errors reported by the device. Errors like that typically happen when the communication delay time (element property) is set too short.

4.188
- Improved PCMAudioPlayer, so that it stops playing audio after 10 hardware errors. Before this change it was retrying indefinitely which could lead to a crash.
4.187
- Added a driver for a new EEG/EMG device: Mindfield eSense (MF_eSense). See manual for more details.
- Added more options in OpenBCI and Ganglion driver elements.

- Improved Lamp. So that it remembers the state when chart is resized.
4.171
- Improved ExcelFileWriter so that it creates the output file at start, and not during the re/initialization as before.
4.170
- Added a new interactive property in ScalarTimeRatio: "Ratio for value". Can be used to get current ratio (between 0 and 1) for the input value set via PropertySetter. If PropertyGetter is set for that interactive property then it is automatically triggered by the PropertySetter value.
4.169
- Added a new output ScalarTimeRatio element: "Ratio". It outputs the time ratio value of the last current input value in the range between 0 and 1 (not 100).
- Added a new output in ElementInteractor. Currently only useful with "Properties" action, it outputs the name of the pressed button on the Properties dialog. Note: some button names don't work unless SKIP_REINIT_ALL option is set (see manual).
- Fixed a bug in ArrayProperties dialog, Apply button pressed was restoring previous values.
4.168
- Updated Neurobit driver.
4.167

- Driver updates.
4.141
- Improved PN_Wiz driver.

- Improved ExcelFileReader to properly handle Pause/Release.
4.103
- Added a new output in VideoFilePlayer: Playing. It sends out TRUE at start and FALSE when the video finished playing.
- Improved horizontal scale. So that adjacent description labels do not overlap. If a description label can't be drawn without overlapping, it is dropped.
- Improved horizontal time value description. A fraction of a second is only drawn if hour value is 0. This is to save space and show only most relevant information.
4.102
- Forgot to replicate the last improvement into float video element, fixed now.
4.101
- Improvements in VideoFilePlayer. It now supports WEBM codec, and it only enables brightness control if either input is connected (brightness or contrast), otherwise brightness filter is disabled and video may play more reliably.
BioEra installer will eventually include WEBM video codec installer, so this type of video should play reliably on any computer without needing any additional codecs.
For now, WEBM codec installer can be directly downloaded from here: https://storage.googleapis.com/downloads.webmproject.org/releases/webm/webmdshow-1.0.4.1.zip
