+ | ====== SCONE Version History ====== | ||
+ | ==== SCONE 1.5.0 ==== | ||
+ | //Released June 19, 2020// | ||
+ | |||
+ | === New Features === | ||
+ | * New ''Parameter View'' window that shows all optimization parameters in the current scenario. | ||
+ | * New ''Evaluation Report'' window that shows the measure results from the most recent evaluation. | ||
+ | * Context-sensitive help: pressing F1 in the scenario shows on-line help for the keyword under the cursor. | ||
+ | * New ''StepMeasure'' for penalizing stride length and/or step duration, thanks to **Dimitar Stanev**. | ||
+ | * ''GaitStateController'' can now have single-sided controllers, using the ''legs'' parameter. | ||
+ | * Help menu now has links for ''About...'' and ''User Forum'' | ||
+ | * New (very useful!) text editor option: Press ''Ctrl + /'' to toggle comments for the current selection. | ||
+ | * ''.scone'' files now support ''%%//%%'' and ''/*'' ''*/'' style comments. | ||
+ | * New menu option ''Window -> Reset Window Layout'' to restore the original window layout. | ||
+ | * ''EffortMeasure'' now supports ''SquaredMuscleActivation''. | ||
