This is an almost complete re-write using some of the latest Python 3 language features and a new code architecture. It is called SOFA Lite because I am stripping out some features that were painful to maintain but were of limited value to most users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One design goal for SOFA Lite is to make it super-easy to run analyses from Python scripts rather than just via the GUI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another goal is to significantly reduce the complexity of packaging SOFA Lite for different operating systems. For example, 90% of the pain of packaging SOFA Statistics has related to its image processing libraries, none of which are really needed now that user-friendly screen-shot software is so widely available. I would love to be able to release a version of SOFA (Lite) that works on the latest versions of the Mac OS (alongside Windows and Linux) and this looks like a good way of making that possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So onwards and upwards again \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SOFA Statistics is now in stable, maintenance mode.
