OpenSesame 3.0.5 "Interactive Ising" released

OpenSesame 3.0.5 is the fifth maintenance release in the 3.0 series. It contains bug fixes and minor improvements, and should be a pleasant and safe upgrade for everyone who is using the 3.0 series.

As always, you can get OpenSesame from here:

• http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/getting-opensesame/download/

One notable feature of this release is the experimental Python-3.4-based package. Python 2.7 will remain the default for now (and probably for a while), because several key libraries that OpenSesame uses are not yet compatible with Python 3 (notably PsychoPy and Expyriment).

If you are upgrading from OpenSesame 2.9.7 or earlier, please see the list of important changes in OpenSesame 3.0:
