Release for spikeinterface 0.13.0

• Bug fixes:
  • fixes to CMR grouping and local CAR
  • fixes to detect_spikes in parallel
  • added ms_before and ms_after to get_unit_amplitudes
  • propagated return_scales to get_waveforms function

Release for spikeinterface 0.12.0

• Bug fixes:

  • fix in-place modification of memmap traces
  • remove decimate from resample
  • fix mad computation in the presence of channel offsets in snr by removing median
  • fixes to amplitude shapes in phy export
  • CurationSortingExtractor inherits tmo_folder

• New features:

  • added support for return_scaled option in get_traces
  • added support for timestamps with set_times
  • added highpass_fileter and mask preprocessors

• Improvements:

  • added channel_locations in the computation of pca-based metrics
  • added linear and cubic interpolation in remove_artifacts
  • improved performance of pca computation in terms by saving only a subset of waveforms by default

Release for spikeinterface 0.11.0

• Bug Fixes:

  • Preprocessors and Curators now copy properties and epochs from parent extractor
  • Fixed bug in amplitudes retrieval and naming of memmap files
  • Recompute waveforms in Phy if waveforms are already computed but on a subset of spikes
  • extracellular features are returned as scalar if computed on a single channel

• New features:

  • implemented get_unit_centers_of_mass
  • implemented noise_overlap quality metric

• Improvements:

  • improved efficiency and algorithm for detect_spikes and compute_channel_spiking_activity (now based on detect_spikes)
  • All preprocessors now inherit from a BasePreprocessorExtractor, that handles common actions

Postprocessing update

With this release the postprocessing module has been extensively sped up (#399)

Other changes:

• compute_channel_spiking_activity function now returns spike rates, instead of spike counts

• added dtype arg to FilterRecordingExtractor

• export_to_phy allows the user to copy binaries or not (copy_binary argument)

• bug fixes for correct sampling_frequency in CurationSortingExtractor

Release for spikeinterface 0.10.0

• Various fixes and improvements to the export_to_phy function
• Improved performance of compute_amplitudes
• Fix indexing bug in validation and curation when a subset of units is used
