HRM 3.7.1 released!

HRM 3.7.1

It is with great pleasure that we announce the immediate availability of HRM 3.7.1!

This patch release addresses a few issues:

  • Jobs (including colocalization analysis) may sometimes miss the colocalization results when all the following conditions are met:
    • the processing machines have multiple GPUs;
    • the queue is processing 2 or more jobs from the same user in the same machine;
    • the raw images of these jobs are located at the same directory level.
  • For new HRM installations we have fixed an incompatibility issue with recent versions of PostgreSQL. This should not affect existing installations.
  • The automatic Linux updates often shut down the HRM deamon service, not starting it again after the update. This has been improved and therefore it is recommended to reinstall the HRM daemon service by following these simple steps https://huygens-remote-manager.readthedocs.io/en/latest/admin/hrm_daemon_systemd.html

As usual, you can download HRM 3.7.1 from the official download page: http://huygens-rm.org/wp/?page_id=11.

Happy deconvolving!


HRM 3.7.0 released!

Huygens Remote Manager 3.7.0

It is with great pleasure that we announce the immediate availability of HRM 3.7.0!

This release focuses primarily on performance and stability, but it also introduces some new features.

Detailed changes of HRM 3.7.0 are:

  • Allow image channels to be assigned the restoration algorithm individually or skipped altogether.
    This adds the possibility to use HRM as a pure batch file converter, chromatic aberration corrector, time stabilizer, etc.
  • Add an “All files” filter in the image selection step. Show by default all the contents of the raw images folder.
  • Add extreme GPU support.
  • Replace old EPFL logo with current.
  • Substantially increase performance of files listing.
  • Substantially increase performance of job creation.
  • Make queue more robust against job deletion, process killing, process failure, and stalling.
  • Switch to persistent connections to the database.
  • Cache many database query results to reduce traffic.
  • Bug fixes.

Please notice that we decided to maintain compatibility with PHP 5.6 for this release, but from the next release the minimum supported PHP version will be 7.2.

Go ahead, and download it!

HRM 3.6.0 released!

We are very happy to announce the release and immediate availability of HRM 3.6!

The new dark theme

The highlights of this release are:

  • New Array Detector deconvolution (a.o. Airyscan and nanoSPAD)
  • New Rescan deconvolution
  • New UI dark theme
  • Performance and stability improvements in the job queue
  • Compatibility upgrade to PHP 7.2
    • Please notice that this is the last HRM release to support PHP 5.x which was officially discontinued at the end of 2018!

HRM 3.6 also brings along some other changes:

New Array Detector deconvolution

HRM has been extended to support one of the most requested new features in Huygens: array detector deconvolution. Therefore, Huygens 18.10 is needed for deconvolving this type of data in HRM. For more information about the array detector option in Huygens see https://svi.nl/Array-Detector.

New UI dark theme

In the previous version (3.5), HRM started a major effort toward a modern user interface. In this new version, we continue down that path by releasing a dark theme that makes HRM more gentle on the eyes of those doing deconvolution right from within the dark room. But of course, you can use it everywhere! 
If the UI shows any glitches at first, please clear the browser cache.

Have fun with HRM 3.6!
