This document contains the fslpy release history in reverse chronological order.

2.8.4 (Monday 2nd March 2020)

Added

  • Added a new partial_fill option to :meth:`.FileTree.read`, which effectively eliminates any variables which only have one value. This was added to accommodate some behavioural changes that were introduced in 2.8.2.

2.8.3 (Friday 28th February 2020)

Fixed

  • Fixed a bug in the :meth:`.Image.save` method.

2.8.2 (Thursday 27th February 2020)

Fixed

  • Fixed some subtle bugs in the :func:`.filetree.utils.get_all` function.

2.8.1 (Thursday 20th February 2020)

Fixed

  • Fixed a bug where an error would be raised on attempts to load an image file without a BIDS-compatible name from a BIDS-like directory.

2.8.0 (Wednesday 29th January 2020)

Added

  • New :meth:`.Nifti.adjust` method, for creating a copy of a :class:`.Nifti` header with adjusted shape, pixdims, and affine. This can be useful for creating a resampling reference.
  • New :func:`.affine.rescale` function, for adjusting a scaling matrix.
  • New :func:`.mghimage.voxToSurfMat` function, for creating a voxel-to-freesurfer affine transform from any image.

Changed

  • The :class:`.ImageWrapper` now maintains its own image data cache, rather than depending on nibabel.
  • Internal changes to avoid using the deprecated nibabel.dataobj_images.DataobjImage.get_data method.

Fixed

  • Improved the algorithm used by the :func:`.mesh.needsFixing` function.
  • The :meth:`.fslmaths.run` method now accepts :attr:`.wrappers.LOAD` as an output specification.
  • Fixed a bug in the :class:`.Mesh` class to prevent indices from being loaded as floating point type.
  • Fixed a bug in the :func:`.resample` function.
  • Fixed a bug in the :class:`.MGHImage` class, which was causing pixdims to be overridden by scales derived from the affine.

Deprecated

  • :func:`.calculateMatrix` - its functionality has been moved to the :func:`.affine.rescale` function.

2.7.0 (Wednesday 6th November 2019)

Added

  • New until option to the :func:`.idle.block` function.
  • New :meth:`.Idle.neverQueue` setting, which can be used to force all tasks passed to :func:`.idle.idle` to be executed synchronously.
  • New :meth:`.IdleLoop.synchronous` context manager, to temporarily change the value of :meth:`.IdleLoop.neverQueue`.
  • New :mod:`.bids` module, containing a few simple functions for working with BIDS datasets.
  • New :func:`.image.loadMetadata` function, and loadMeta option to the :class:`.Image` class, to automatically find and load any sidecar JSON files associated with an image file.

Changed

  • Internal reorganisation in the :mod:`.idle` module.

Fixed

  • Fixed incorrect usage of setuptools.find_packages, which was causing unit tests to be installed.

Deprecated

  • :func:`.idle.inIdle` - replaced by :meth:`.IdleLoop.inIdle`.
  • :func:`.idle.cancelIdle` - replaced by :meth:`.IdleLoop.cancelIdle`.

Changed

  • fslpy is no longer tested against Python 3.5, and is now tested against Python 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8.

Added

  • New :meth:`.Image.iscomplex` attribute.

Changed

  • The :class:`.Cache` class has a new lru option, allowing it to be used as a least-recently-used cache.
  • The :mod:`.filetree` module has been refactored to make it easier for the :mod:`.query` module to work with file tree hierarchies.
  • The :meth:`.LabelAtlas.get` method has a new binary flag, allowing either a binary mask, or a mask with the original label value, to be returned.

  • New :func:`.makeWriteable` function which ensures that a numpy.array is writeable, and creates a copy if necessary

Changed

  • The :class:`.GiftiMesh` class no longer creates copies of the mesh vertex/index arrays. This means that, these arrays will be flagged as read-only.
  • The :class:`.Mesh` class handles vertex data sets requiring different triangle unwinding orders, at the cost of potentially having to store two copies of the mesh indices.

  • New :func:`.commonBase` function for finding the common prefix of a set of file/directory paths.

Changed

  • Removed support for Python 2.7 and 3.4.
  • Minimum required version of nibabel is now 2.3.
  • The :class:`.Image` class now fully delegates to nibabel for managing file handles.
  • The :class:`.GiftiMesh` class can now load surface files which contain vertex data, and will accept surface files which end in .gii, rather than requiring files which end in .surf.gii.
  • The name property of :class:`.Mesh` instances can now be updated.

Removed

  • Many deprecated items removed.

Deprecated

  • Deprecated the :func:`.loadIndexedImageFile` function, and the indexed flag to the :class:`.Image` constructor.

1.13.3 (Friday February 8th 2019)

Fixed

  • Fixed an issue with the :func:`.dicom.loadSeries` using memory-mapping for image files that would subsequently be deleted.
  • Fixed an issue in the :class:`.GiftiMesh` class, where numpy/nibabel was returning read-only index arrays.

1.13.2 (Friday November 30th 2018)

Changed

  • The :meth:`.Image.resample` method now supports images with more than three dimensions.
  • The :func:`fsl.utils.fslsub.submit` now returns the job-id as a string rather than a one-element tuple. It now also accepts a nested sequence of job ids rather than just a flat sequence. This will also changes the output from the function wrappers in :mod:`fsl.wrappers` if submitted.

Fixed

  • Fix to the :class:`.ImageWrapper` regarding complex data types.

Added

  • New wrapper functions for :func:`.fsl_anat`, :func:`.applytopup` (Martin Craig).
  • New :func:`.fileOrText` decorator for use in wrapper functions (Martin Craig).
