v0.5 Released

The latest version of psyche (v0.5) contains several improvements, most of which pertain to the internal structure of the code itself. In addition, we’ve enhanced the UI and added a bit of functionality. As always, we like to provide some details behind the changes of each release -

1) Previously, the main controllers.py file managed all of the pages of the psyche front-end. We’ve now split this file into separate controller files, one per page. This core change makes the project more modular and maintainable as it continues to grow.

2) The management page now allows you to enter a ‘nickname’ for each internal network being monitored. This nickname, along with the corresponding network address, will also appear in the drop down menu located on the home page.

3) In previous versions of psyche, you had to specify a min and max ratio for histogram queries. We’ve now added an option that allows you to select ‘zero to infinity’ for the ratio range, which really helps when bounds are unknown.

4) We’ve also updated the x-axis labels of the time series graphs (on the home and top talkers pages). The labels now contain AM vs PM and properly maintain their spacing on the axis (bug fix).
