[Pkg-exppsy-maintainers] PyNIfTI 0.20080624.1

[Michael Hanke]

Hi,

I hereby announce the new release of PyNIfTI 0.20080624.1. Here is the
changelog:

  * Converted all documentation (including docstrings) into the restructured
    text format.
  * Improved Makefile.
  * Included configuration and Makefile support for profiling, API doc
    generation (via epydoc) and code quality checks (with PyLint).
  * Consistently import NumPy as N.
  * Bugfix: Proper handling of [qs]form codes, which previously have not been
    handled at all. Thanks to Christopher Burns for pointing it out.
  * Bugfix: Make NiftiFormat work without setFilename(). Thanks to Benjamin
    Thyreau for reporting.
  * Bugfix: setPixDims() stored meaningless values.
  * Use new NumPy API and replace deprecated function calls
    (`PyArray_FromDimsAndData`).
  * Initial support for memory mapped access to uncompressed NIfTI files
    (`MemMappedNiftiImage`).
  * Add a proper Makefile and setup.cfg for compiling PyNIfTI under Windows
    with MinGW.
  * Include a minimal copy of the most recent nifticlibs (just libniftiio and
    znzlib; version 1.0), to lower the threshold to build PyNIfTI on systems
    that do not provide a developer package for those libraries.


The source is available from Git, Alioth and Sourceforge, as well as a
Suse 10.3 RPM package. The windows installer will follow tomorrow.


Cheers,

Michael
