Added file type selector for open and save file dialogs on Mac
Violin Plot displays the properties tab by default
Gene Expression workflow "Import from Affymetrix CEL Files" and File menu "Import Affymetrix .CEL Files" produce the same output spreadsheet for gene expression arrays
Improved graphics for visualizations on Mac
Bug fixes:
Fixed a bug on "Split Column" dialog on Mac
Fixed a bug in "Import Affymetrix .ARR File..."
Other minor bug fixes
PGS7.17.0918
General Improvement:
Most of the computations are multi-threaded, which drastically increases the speed
Viewers generated from spreadsheets are new tabs within the same window frame by default; viewer windows can be docked back to the main window frame
Workflow panel is visible in any invoked viewers, order of the workflow steps is more intuitive
Updated with modern icons and graphics color palette
Mixed model ANOVA uses REML by default
Sample ID factor is not included in the model of Alt-splicing ANOVA, GO ANOVA, pathway ANOVA
Apply button are removed from most of the dialogs
Improved interface is cleaner and more user friendly
New functional normalization method in the Illumina methylation array importer (450K and 850K)
Improved SWAN normalization in the Illumina methylation array importer
Allows import of different versions of the Illumina methylation arrays when using the same set of library files
Improved text file importer by adding wizard for specifying the properties of the spreadsheet
Removed repeated measures menu option, it is recommended to use ANOVA doing repeated measures analysis
Simplified menus and dialogs, removed obsolete functions, improved wording
Automatically downloads annotation files, even from sites with HTTPS or redirects (e.g. Affymetrix and GEO)
Logged data is detected and appropriate defaults are automatically set
