GUI release version 0.5.4

[Josh Siegle]

Hi everyone,

The latest version of the Open Ephys GUI is now available for download as an installer or as a .zip file.

The release notes can be found here: https://github.com/open-ephys/plugin-GUI/releases/tag/v0.5.4

This version is needed to continue using the Plugin Installer, as we had to migrate all of our plugin binaries to JFrog Artifactory after Bintray was shut down on May 1st. The good news is that the new Plugin Installer loads much faster, and includes little icons that indicate which plugins have updates available.

If you’d prefer not to upgrade but you still want to be able to download plugins, running the Plugin Installer through the unzipped 0.5.4 binaries will download plugins that can be accessed by other instances of the GUI upon re-launch. 

Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any issues with installing/updating plugins!

Best,

Josh, Pavel, and Anjal
