  32. -------------
  33. * lazy/cascading improvement
  34. * load_lazy_olbject() in neo.io added
  35. * added NeuroscopeIO
  36. Version 0.3.0
  37. -------------
  38. * various bug fixes in neo.io
  39. * added ElphyIO
  40. * SpikeTrain performence improved
  41. * An IO class now can return a list of Block (see read_all_blocks in IOs)
  42. * python3 compatibility improved
  43. Version 0.2.1
  44. -------------
  45. * assorted bug fixes
  46. * added :func:`time_slice()` method to the :class:`SpikeTrain` and :class:`AnalogSignalArray` classes.
  47. * improvements to annotation data type handling
  48. * added PickleIO, allowing saving Neo objects in the Python pickle format.
  49. * added ElphyIO (see http://www.unic.cnrs-gif.fr/software.html)
  50. * added BrainVisionIO (see http://www.brainvision.com/)
  51. * improvements to PlexonIO
  52. * added :func:`merge()` method to the :class:`Block` and :class:`Segment` classes
  53. * development was mostly moved to GitHub, although the issue tracker is still at neuralensemble.org/neo
  54. Version 0.2.0
  55. -------------
  56. New features compared to neo 0.1:
  57. * new schema more consistent.
  58. * new objects: RecordingChannelGroup, EventArray, AnalogSignalArray, EpochArray
  59. * Neuron is now Unit
  60. * use the quantities_ module for everything that can have units.
  61. * Some objects directly inherit from Quantity: SpikeTrain, AnalogSignal, AnalogSignalArray, instead of having an attribute for data.
  62. * Attributes are classifyed in 3 categories: necessary, recommended, free.
  63. * lazy and cascade keywords are added to all IOs
  64. * Python 3 support
  65. * better tests
