Bonsai 2.4.1

Just in time before 2020, we have uploaded the first maintenance update for Bonsai 2.4. You can install it from this release, or in the package manager for download as an update. Updating is highly recommended as this release fixes a number of issues with 2.4.0 and brings several performance improvements for the editor and the shaders package.

Release highlights

• Improvements to C# scripting: if you had problems integrating scripting with Visual Studio Code, it should now be easier to get this to work;

• Performance improvements to editor when dealing with multiple levels of nesting, and other edge cases;

• Fixed several loading issues with the new workflow format: if you were having issues saving and restoring some workflows, you might want to try again with this new version;

• Updated Bonsai.Shaders package: the new Bonsai.Shaders 0.20.0 updates OpenTK to the latest 3.1.0. This version significantly reduces the latency for visual stimulus presentation, by allowing to remove one extra frame of lag from the double-buffered render loop. It is also more stable on average and will form a solid basis for visual stimulus packages such as BonVision.

Improvements to installer

• 64-bit executable now associates by default and should be listed on Windows when you right-click on a Bonsai file and select "Open With";
• Code templates for Visual Studio 2019;
