Release Notes
New feature release in the 23.0.x series.
This release adds improvements for workflows targeting the fsLR grayordinate space. Namely, morphometric (curvature, sulcal depth and cortical thickness) measures are output as .dscalar.nii files and high-variance voxels can be excluded from the resampling step using --project-goodvoxels.
Additionally, T2w images are now resampled to the T1w-defined subject space if FreeSurfer reconstruction is used. If multiple T2w images are provided, they are merged into a single image first.
PEPolar fieldmaps with R/L phase-encoding directions or in non-standard orientations are now better supported. We continue to work toward better support for more SDC configurations.
23.0.0 supports FreeSurfer 7.3.2, which is now bundled in the Docker image.
ICA-AROMA support will be removed in 23.1.0.
With thanks to Thomas Madison, Greg Conan, Celine Provins, Robert Smith and Yaroslav Halchenko for contributions.
Thanks also to Steve Giavasis and colleagues at the Child Mind Institute for feedback on SDC processing.
