• Fixing the get_trial_data and get_question_data functions (thanks @jacoblee)

2.1.6

• Patch update to add configuration for automatically releasing to PyPI with Travis CI.

2.1.3

This release includes a number of bug fixes and improvements.

Improvements

• Use own ad server

  This enables bypassing the psiturk ad server, instead using a self-hosted SSL-enabled server (you have to get your own cert).
  Also enables the use of a reverse proxy server if not using the psiturk ad server. See the docs here
  for more information

• calculate mturk commission charged when creating hits

• allow for hit durations < 1 hour

• Generate a random debug string when visiting root url for experiment

• Adds browser_exclude_rule for Safari

• ctrl-c in the psiturk shell now creates a newline

• use openshift db cartridge, if one is installed

• evade pesky adblockers on ad.html

• record mode and full useragent string

Emergency bug patch for 2.1.0

Some variable names were changed which caused a dangerous condition where psiTurk incorrectly claimed to be "sandbox" mode but was actually in "live" mode. This patch is very important to install if you installed 2.1.0.

2.1.0

• Updates to command line shell for more helpful error messages and “fuzzy matching" for incorrectly typed commands
• Major refactor of server process management. Should resolve issues with server instability.
• Better handling of “modes” (debug, sandbox, live). Now the psiturk.js is also aware of mode allowing developer more control over different types of testing
• Updates to javascript library (psiturk.js) including ability to get and put data via syncs, better access to the psiturk object from developer tools console in javascript, etc...
• Various bug fixes
• Initial BETA version of free psiturk.org ssh tunneling service (allows users to run psiturk behind firewalls and on wifi connections)

2.0.1

This is the first bug fix release for the 2.0.0 series.

1. fixes a problem with assigning bonuses using the command line (worker bonus)
2. fixes a problem with the hit expire command
3. switches dependency from readline to gnureadline which should resolve issues for some people who had troubling getting readline compiled
4. other minor documentation fixes

As always type pip install psiturk --upgrade to get the latest version or install directly from the github master branch.
