Download

Apologies, currently there is no stable release available. See the development page for more details.

If you're still interested in downloading: ZIP archive of the current developer's version. Please note: You've been warned that it will contain many bugs.

Latest development release: v.0.0.38 (2015-11-03).

Please note: Run the installer after you updated to a new version to update your configuration. You will not loose your personal settings. Take care that it can write path and config files.

System requirements

<note warning>Please note: Currently, using Matlab 2014b is highly discouraged, due to MathWorks having changed completely the graphics subsystem. I'm currently working on improving the situation, but cannot promise any success soon.</note>
