Notes:

Release Name: 2.0.0

Notes:

BrainNet Viewer 2.0.0 provides MATLAB Desktop, Python Desktop and Docker/Web editions for visualizing brain surfaces, networks, volumetric maps and atlas regions. All three editions include a shared English manual and illustrated tutorials.


The MATLAB edition reads supported NIfTI and GIFTI files without SPM. Python Desktop runs independently of MATLAB and requires Python 3.11 or newer. Docker/Web supports local use and authenticated Linux LAN deployment with a separate process for each browser session, HTTPS, and automatic CPU fallback when GPU rendering is unavailable. The default browser port is 1031.


Download the package for your edition and verify it against SHA256SUMS. Follow the installation instructions included in the package.

Compatibility: Use PNG for exact-size export on the affected MATLAB R2024a PDF/SVG path. Portable Scenes should be opened in the edition that created them; cross-edition migration has not been verified. Native ARM64 container graphics validation remains incomplete. GPU allocation alone does not establish that rendering uses the GPU.


Changes:

This release adds updated atlas network examples, more colormaps, figure annotations and improved interaction, window resizing and export recovery. MATLAB colorbars now match the displayed edge colors when mapped weights are constant. Recent fixes improve MATLAB transparent PNG export and physical-unit sizing, Linux desktop file access and dialog focus, and CPU and memory reporting. MATLAB can read local inputs directly and save either file references or a portable Scene ZIP. See RELEASE_NOTES.en.md for details.
