Nwbinspector

Fixes

* Extended `check_session_start_time_future_date` and `check_session_start_time_old_date` to be timezone optional as allowed by PyNWB > 2.6.0 versions. [452](https://github.com/NeurodataWithoutBorders/nwbinspector/pull/452)

Improvements

* Exposed progress bar control to `inspect_all` and `run_checks` to allow compatibility with more generic visualizations of inspection progress related to the NWB GUIDED. [443](https://github.com/NeurodataWithoutBorders/nwbinspector/pull/443)
* Added Python 3.12 support. [457](https://github.com/NeurodataWithoutBorders/nwbinspector/pull/457)

Testing

* Pinned action runners to MacOS x64 architecture; removed other deprecated steps of setup and continuous integration testing. [450](https://github.com/NeurodataWithoutBorders/nwbinspector/pull/450)

Fixes

* Fixed `--modules` flag in `nwbinspector` command line interface to allow for import of additional modules in the command line. This was necessary to be able to register new customized checks to the NWB Inspector. [446](https://github.com/NeurodataWithoutBorders/nwbinspector/pull/446)

Fixes

* Add safer retrieval of `subject_id` for _in vitro_ protein filtering. [433](https://github.com/NeurodataWithoutBorders/nwbinspector/pull/433)

Fixes

* Use cached extension namespaces when calling pynwb validate instead of just the core namespace. [425](https://github.com/NeurodataWithoutBorders/nwbinspector/pull/425)

Improvements

* Added automatic suppression of certain subject related checks when inspecting files using the "dandi" configuration that have a `subject_id` that starts with the keyphrase "protein"; _e.g._, "proteinCaMPARI3" to indicate the _in vitro_ subject of the experiment is a purified CaMPARI3 protein.

New Checks

* Added `check_rate_is_not_zero` for ensuring non-zero rate value of `TimeSeries` that has more than one frame. [389](https://github.com/NeurodataWithoutBorders/nwbinspector/issues/389)

Fixes

* Fixed issue in `check_empty_string_for_optional_attribute` where it would not skip optional non-`str` fields. [400](https://github.com/NeurodataWithoutBorders/nwbinspector/pull/400)
