Release Notes

Two hallmark changes conducive to a new minor release line have been included in version 1.5.0: the upgrade of PyBIDS to the 0.9 series and the split of SDCflows off from fMRIPrep codebase.
PyBIDS 0.9.x has a better handling of the indexed dataset that will permit some optimizations to fMRIPrep's memory fingerprint.
SDCflows now are found at poldracklab/sdcflows, and have been split to allow a more granular and thorough testing in collaboration with M. Cieslak, A. Adebimpe, and T. Satterthwaite.
Some other bugfixes, improvements to the documentation and minor features are also shipped with the new release.
