Napari

We're happy to announce the release of napari 0.3.5!
napari is a fast, interactive, multi-dimensional image viewer for Python.
It's designed for browsing, annotating, and analyzing large multi-dimensional
images. It's built on top of Qt (for the GUI), vispy (for performant GPU-based
rendering), and the scientific Python stack (numpy, scipy).

We're happy to announce the release of napari 0.3.4!
napari is a fast, interactive, multi-dimensional image viewer for Python.
It's designed for browsing, annotating, and analyzing large multi-dimensional
images. It's built on top of Qt (for the GUI), vispy (for performant GPU-based
rendering), and the scientific Python stack (numpy, scipy).

This is a short release that refactors our installation process to allow more
flexibility around which Qt python bindings users install (PySide2, PyQt5).
Starting with this release, running `pip install napari` will *no longer*
install a GUI backend by default. For a complete installation with a GUI
backend, users are now encouraged to use `pip install napari[all]`, which
will install the default backend (currently PyQt5). To explicitly select
a backend, users may run either `pip install napari[pyqt5]` or
`pip install napari[pyside2]`.
