0.2

[v0.2] - 2022-01-18

Major Release

NEW

• Added Connectivity submodule with csd, granger and coh measures
• Added new CrossSpectralData class for connectivity data
• Added Superlet spectral estimation method to freqanalysis
• Added arithmetic operator overloading for SyNCoPy objects: it is now possible
  to perform simple arithmetic operations directly, e.g.,data1 + data2.
• Added equality operator for SyNCoPy objects: two objects can be parsed for
  identical contents using the "==" operator
• Added full object padding functionality
• Added support for user-controlled in-place selections
• Added show class method for easy data access in all SyNCoPy objects
• Added de-trending suppport in freqanalysis via the polyremoval keyword
• New interface for synthetic data generation: using a list of NumPy arrays for
  instantiation interprets each array as nChannels x nSamples trial data
  which are combined to generate a AnalogData object
• Made SyNCoPy PEP 517 compliant: added pyproject.toml and modified setup.py
  accordingly
• Added IBM POWER testing pipeline (via dedicated GitLab Runner)

CHANGED

• Multi-tapering now works with smoothing frequencies in Hz
• Streamlined padding interface

REMOVED

• Retired tox in slurmtest CI pipeline in favor of a "simple" pytest testing
  session due to file-locking problems of tox environments on NFS mounts

DEPRECATED

• Removed ACME from source repository: the submodule setup proved to be too
  unreliable and hard to maintain. ACME is now an optional (but recommended)
  dependency of SyNCoPy

FIXED

• Non-standard dimord objects are now parsed and processed by ComputationalRoutine
• Impromptu padding performed by freqanalysis is done in a more robust way
• Stream-lined GitLab Runner setup: use cluster-wide conda instead of local
  installations (that differ slightly across runners) and leverage tox-conda
  to fetch pre-built dependencies
