This new release solves the user info input encountered on some windows and linux setups.

PANDORAE, v1.0.7

Attempt to produce compiled versions.

Tentative release

WoS pipeline doesn't fully work. Moved to THREE 150 for normal theme. Many updates in terms of checking if flux sources are available/requesting them.

PANDORAE - continuous integration

v1.0.5

sad but I have to

PANDORÆ - 1.0.04

This release features includes a FLUX/CHAEROS/TYPE construct for Regards Citoyens, among other things and fixes.

PANDORÆ 1.0.03

Refactoring

Most of what's in .03 was already in .02. However, it is now much much better because:

• it is compliant with the newer, more secure version of electron
• the bottlenecking for API requests is enforced in a slower but safer way
• the artoo hack has been replaced with a vanilla JS solution

Electron

PANDORÆ is now using Electron 10.2.0, which has been patched on the dependency side, and which forces for major refactoring on the development side. Long story short, all scripts are now run in a separate, preloaded (so, pre-DOM generation) context. Not much happens in the "real world", which solves security issues. This means that if you clone the repo and want to run PANDORÆ in dev mode, you need to run node js/preloader.js before refreshing your window to enforce the changes.

Bottlenecks

Bottlenecks are now enforced by request type.

Artoo hack/bioRxiv scraping

Vanilla scraping, the querySelector way.

You can download 1.0.03 here.

PANDORAE 1.0.02

Global

The major new feature in this version is Slider, a presentation system native to PANDORÆ able to trigger Types or run Observable cells. Also added is the Flux/Chaeros ability to scrap and API-rehydrate bioRxiv datasets, and a new super light theme named VEGA. Current released versions are now named stable while bleeding edge unstable versions are named future.

Flux

• added "OPEN" tab content
• added bioRxiv tab
• enabled import local datasets

Chaeros

• added ability to scrap bioRxiv using Artoo and rehydrate results using the bioRxiv API

Slider

• added Slider

Artoo

• added artoo to scrape bioRxiv

Mul[type]threader

• switched from SharedWorker to regular Worker

Types

• various QoL improvements for each type
• type-native pre-recorded navigation system

Themes

• added vega

Electron

• moving from v5 to v8

PANDORAE 1.0.01

Global

• added audio using (for now) Facebook's SoundKit
• changed the overall main window icon creation/removal system. Icons are generated when needed
• database (IndexedDB) structure updated for new types to exist
• HTML exports (not perfect, works OK in mosts cases, will be polished in next version)
• added a nifty post-processing effect on the normal theme (bokeh, so that the depth of field only covers the closest half of the core).

Flux

• Retrieves clinical trials from the ClinicalTrialGov API
• Local loads datasets exported from a Type directly back into a system (for easy data sharing)
• Connects to Hyphe endpoints, loads a list of available corpi and loads a selected one into the system
• Loads twarc twitter threads
• Loads categorized tweets

Chaeros:

• clinical trials retrieval routine.

Types:

• data download: click on the "source" div at the bottom left of a type to download the JSON dataset it is currently showing (directly extracted from the database, not transformed by its routines)
• presentation mode: some type now have a "presentation mode" in which you can select a particular point in the type (i.e. using zoom/drag/versor), store the coordinates, and go to a different point using that (/those) method(s) + d3.transition to get there. A crude slide system (adding text on top of this movement) has also been added. This is currently in alpha stage but could end up being a core feature.
• filotype: display and explore twitter threads. Click on a tweet to highlight all tweets below that particular tweet (in the same subthread).
• doxatype: display lists of pre-categorized tweets (intended to work with spaCy/prodigy).
• hyphotype: many changes, will get its own description in a different place.
• pharmacotype: it's back! Will also get its own description.
