| Version | Published | Release Notes | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.6.0 | As per Jason's suggestion, added an example (progress_example2.m) to show how to add progress bar code without annotations. Also renamed the function "Progress.set(value)" to "Progress.set_val(value)" to avoid a conflict between it and handle.set. |
||
| 1.5.0 | Added support for executing some custom code by pressing a button on the progress bars. This code can do something useful, like displaying partial results of an experiment. |
||
| 1.4.0 | Fixed some bugs that Donald Lacombe identified. Will now work for for-loops written with semicolons (for i=1:10;) and for very large loop parameters for (i=1:1000000). |
||
| 1.3.0 | Updated the example script so it no longer requires the stats toolbox |
||
| 1.1.0 | Interim progress tracking, with granular updates based on the task complexity estimation, updating the remaining time and progress twice per second, to give the illusion of progress! |

| 1.0.0 |
