Version 0.2.0#

New features compared to Neo 0.1:

  • new schema more consistent.

  • new objects: RecordingChannelGroup, EventArray, AnalogSignalArray, EpochArray

  • Neuron is now Unit

  • use the quantities module for everything that can have units.

  • Some objects directly inherit from Quantity: SpikeTrain, AnalogSignal, AnalogSignalArray, instead of having an attribute for data.

  • Attributes are classified in 3 categories: necessary, recommended, free.

  • lazy and cascade keywords are added to all IOs

  • Python 3 support

  • better tests
