  25. -------------
  26. * fix a bug in PlexonIO where some EventArrays only load 1 element.
  27. * fix a bug in BrainwareSrcIo for segments with no spikes.
  28. Version 0.3.2

  34. Version 0.3.1
  35. -------------
  36. * lazy/cascading improvement
  37. * load_lazy_olbject() in neo.io added
  38. * added NeuroscopeIO
  39. Version 0.3.0
  40. -------------
  41. * various bug fixes in neo.io
  42. * added ElphyIO
  43. * SpikeTrain performence improved
  44. * An IO class now can return a list of Block (see read_all_blocks in IOs)
  45. * python3 compatibility improved
  46. Version 0.2.1
  47. -------------
  48. * assorted bug fixes
  49. * added :func:`time_slice()` method to the :class:`SpikeTrain` and :class:`AnalogSignalArray` classes.
  50. * improvements to annotation data type handling
  51. * added PickleIO, allowing saving Neo objects in the Python pickle format.
  52. * added ElphyIO (see http://www.unic.cnrs-gif.fr/software.html)
  53. * added BrainVisionIO (see http://www.brainvision.com/)
  54. * improvements to PlexonIO
  55. * added :func:`merge()` method to the :class:`Block` and :class:`Segment` classes
  56. * development was mostly moved to GitHub, although the issue tracker is still at neuralensemble.org/neo
  57. Version 0.2.0
  58. -------------
  59. New features compared to neo 0.1:
  60. * new schema more consistent.
  61. * new objects: RecordingChannelGroup, EventArray, AnalogSignalArray, EpochArray
  62. * Neuron is now Unit
  63. * use the quantities_ module for everything that can have units.
  64. * Some objects directly inherit from Quantity: SpikeTrain, AnalogSignal, AnalogSignalArray, instead of having an attribute for data.
  65. * Attributes are classifyed in 3 categories: necessary, recommended, free.
  66. * lazy and cascade keywords are added to all IOs
  67. * Python 3 support
  68. * better tests
