Changelog

Every Release, In One Place.

From the first desktop build in 2019 to the current version.

v4.1.0

19 Sept 2026GitHub release

A redesigned analysis dashboard with the T-Pattern Explorer, a predictive assistant while coding, and a quantitative view that synchronises sensor data with the video timeline.

  • New T-Pattern Explorer detects repeating temporal patterns in coded observations, with configurable minimum occurrences, significance level and time granularity.
  • T-Pattern results show pattern length, level and occurrence counts; clicking an occurrence jumps the video to that exact moment.
  • New predictive assistant suggests the next likely events with expected timing and a confidence score while coding.
  • New quantitative view overlays sensor streams (heart rate, accelerometer, gyroscope) against the video timeline with a synchronised playhead.
  • Added a data import module and a new reporting view for generating summaries from observation sessions.
  • Linux installer now defaults to the /opt/lince-plus install path, making the application easier to find.
  • Fixed Linux menu and desktop shortcuts failing to launch the application.
  • Refreshed dashboard across the projects, observers, scenes, register, results and research views.
