Psychopy

FIXED:

- several sync problems with pavlovia.org: [commit:1f0d8bcab](https://github.com/psychopy/psychopy/commit/1f0d8bcab50c1528291adb3a689e95f6e3bf7fc5)
- sync when an empty project already exists is now fine
- after creating the project, changing a file and repeating sync, it didn't detect the changed file
- sync to a project that has been deleted remotely now asks if you want to recreate the project
- better reporting of error if sync fails

- further fix to memory leak in MovieStim3 [commit:9d0c127d8](https://github.com/psychopy/psychopy/commit/9d0c127d8e6dfd6efba5f285bed93685980cd443)
- fix to PsychoJS output code: loops were not being compiled correctly [commit:6a8e700a3](https://github.com/psychopy/psychopy/commit/6a8e700a350b660b6f588c5b902b04a736b023d2)

3rd beta version of the new PsychoPy3

FIXED:

- a further issue with the app not starting on some machines (due to the
first-run wizard)
- searching pavlovia projects now support stars and forks in sorting
- Slider forceEndRoutine was having no effect
- sounddevice problem when playing a mono sound to stereo stream or vice-versa

ADDED:

- support for Oculus Rift (only on Windows 64bit Python 3) all due to Matthew Cutone
- Japanese translations to many of the new features/controls

FIXED:

Issues with PsychoPy app not launching on some machines

- if git isn't installed PsychoPy will still run and give yousensible warnings when you try to use those features
- the firstRun benchmark/wizard is disabled. It was also causing crashes with no error messages on some machines (not clear why)

The first public beta version of PsychoPy3!

This release is something of a milestone. It can:

- output your code in HTML/JS
- sync projects with the new pavlovia.org site for experiment sharing and launching
- use a new, simpler Slider instead of RatingScale

There are also many new smaller features and fixes

BUT this is absolutely definitely BETA software (hence the b1 suffix in the version). You should expect things to go wrong at this stage and discuss them on the forum (discourse.psychopy.org)
