  • With release 2.0 MIB has been rewritten to utilize Controller-View-Model architecture, which brings stability and ease of future development. However, because of that, the system requirements for MATLAB were increased and MIB2 is only available for MATLAB R2014b and older (due to continuous development of MATLAB, the most recent release is always recommended)
  • Added "Copy to clipboard" and "Open directory in the file explorer" for the right mouse button click over the current path edit box of the path panel (ver. 2.002)
  • Added adaptive black and white thresholding
  • Many other improvements
  • Added offset shift for the rechop mode (ver. 2.001)
  • Renamed Area to Volume for the Get Statistics tool for 3D objects (ver. 2.002)
  • Big fixes (ver. 2.001, 2.002)
